Which English words do you have trouble spelling?
zackeymane replied to a topic in English Language | Discussion
I always misspell liquor. Every time. -
Did you learn alone or with other students?
zackeymane replied to A0130's topic in Language Learning
I learned by myself. I think that was the perfect environment for me. -
Each region has their own accent. That being said, I've been told I have the average United States accent. Not quite Southern, not quite Northern.

To me, it's quite important. I know a large number of people simply aren't interested in learning grammar, but I believe it's a big part of coming across as intelligent.

What are your thoughts on google translate?
zackeymane replied to Cutler4Life's topic in Translations (Theory & Practice)
It's definitely not perfect. Especially with more obscure languages. It's okay for languages that are close in relation to English, though. -
Difference between 'elegant' and 'smart'
zackeymane replied to Mark Skype Teacher's topic in English Vocabulary
Sharp makes me think of someone in a dapper suit in a Noir movie, while elegant makes me think of a Queen in her regalia. That's just me, though. -
I had learned a few things in a few different languages and I noticed something. What I noticed was that you learn a lot about your own language when you learn about other languages. So I guess I enjoyed that.

Do you think German sounds "aggressive" ???
zackeymane replied to linguaholic's topic in German Language | Discussion
It definitely has quite a rough sound to it. I think it can sound quite romantic at times, though. Romantic as in loving. -
What is Hardest- Reading, Writing, or Speaking?
zackeymane replied to tulosai's topic in Language Learning
I think listening is the hardest, because if you've ever learned a second language, I'm sure a lot of us could agree that simply understanding what the speaker is saying is the most difficult thing. At least for me. -
I'm a fast reader, and I never read out loud. I suggest anyone who wants to increase their reading speed to try and imagine yourself saying "1, 2, 3" in your head. Hey, it works for me!

If short sentences help. . .
zackeymane replied to Denis Hard's topic in English Language | Discussion
I agree with the idea of writing a draft of a piece and working to reduce your word count. I've never worked with anything involving a word-count other than school essays, so I don't quite know where you're coming from. But, anyways, good luck! -

How often do you dream in another language?
zackeymane replied to True2marie's topic in Language Learning
Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever dreamt in any other language than English. -
When did you start to learn a second language?
zackeymane replied to cbintz's topic in Language Learning
I started learning one when I was a kid, and I kinda stopped for a while, but I'm back at it again! -
Do you over use "LOL" when you write to your friends?
zackeymane replied to Jaxter's topic in English Language | Discussion
Nope. I tend to just spam 'omg' a lot. I'm a baby. A big baby.
