That is true I find that I am better able to study with the sound of a football game playing in the background and at one point I studied on a crowded bus and it forced my mind to block out every thing around me and focus. :wacky:

I am from a country where Patois is our native language but because we were colonized by the British there is a mixture of patois and English the refer to the natives as uneducated if they speak a mixture of both. go figure. :bored:

Big words or small words - which are better?
Channa replied to SpikeTheLobster's topic in English Vocabulary
At the end of reading an article certain things must have been achieved, knowledge and understanding being the main reasons. so i do agree with the small words for the everyday reader but for someone who wants to expand on their vocabulary and education words that are"bigger" are more interested and beneficial -
1. learn the sound each letter in the alphabet makes 2. always have a dictionary on hand(to search for word meanings) 3. keep a notebook on hand to write down words and there meanings 4. learn part of speech and their uses. eg. verbs are action or doing words 5. practice speaking and writing standard English at all time so it becomes the norm and everyday way of life.

I like the Qxford Concise, It give you the meaning of words, it also gives you sentences and pronunciations of words, also figure of speech .

I like the word, Lovely, whenever someone says that word to you its makes you feel good about yourself., It is also telling you that you are very beautiful. So that why i like hearing that word. Have a lovely day.

Spell Checkers: Why are they Always American?
Channa replied to Believeinsomething's topic in English Vocabulary
Well what is happening now is that base on where you come from and it also depend on how you speak, the way we pronounce, Ariel, Americans pronounce the name totally different from us. -
Words like Vacuum, the silent [E] on this is married the and joined him inside the word, where they are living ever since. Well the evidence is suggestive but not conclusive . Anyway, spell this word with two 's and not like "volume".

The correct use of "loose" and "lose"
Channa replied to sidney's topic in English Language | Discussion
No i don't as I try to pronounce my words correctly. I know that "loose" means, not tight, and "lose" means, be without something that you had once. Sometimes when you don't pronounce your words correctly it causes a problem when you spell. -
How well do you read body language ?
Channa replied to rahimbahrain's topic in English Language | Discussion
Well for me i can read body language sometimes. You have some person that will look at you with lustful eyes. Like they want to tell you that they like you but are very afraid to tell you. Body language really speak a lot, sometimes persons don't like you and they will give you the eye look, that says I hate you . -
Poetry, Because it give you a chance to express yourself, It also expresses how you feel, It helps you to use rhyming words. So I go with Poetry.

Which English words do you have trouble spelling?
Channa replied to a topic in English Language | Discussion
Well as for me i do have problem with 'E" and "I", Whenever I am suppose to put "E" first I always tend to "I" instead. Such word as, "Yield", "Field". I always have to ask someone if the spelling is correct. I also remember try to spell 'Busy", and it took me two day before i could get it right . -
