Is Spanish Useful in Your Daily Life
brothainarms replied to tulosai's topic in Spanish Language | Discussion
In my current area, I don't find it too useful in my daily life. I do plan on moving to an area that speaks more spanish however, which will make it more useful -
Do you think online tutorials are effective?
brothainarms replied to Judhie's topic in English Language | Discussion
It really depends on the method of teaching and the person's persistence. I've used some good ones and some terrible ones before, but if you stick with it you'll experience much better dividends. -
Pretty sure "an" is used before words starting with h. It just sounds smoother/cooler too

Misuse/Abuse of words - That is So Wrong!
brothainarms replied to Believeinsomething's topic in English Language | Discussion
The word "epic" has already been proven to be used way too much in today's society, so bringing it up in this thread will probably roll some eyes. It's taken an otherwise amazing word for describing something unreal and totally made it just annoying to hear. Unfortunate. -
Is English part of your education?
brothainarms replied to betita03's topic in English Language | Discussion
English was integral to my education growing up. I always had a knack for grammar and spelling, which definitely helped as I progressed through the school system. -
"Their", "they're" and "there"
brothainarms replied to Thrix's topic in English Language | Discussion
People who don't know/don't use them in the right way irk the heck out of me. It takes two minutes to definitively learn the difference. I guess some people are just lazy. -
How Do You Work On Your Vocabulary?
brothainarms replied to Francisco23's topic in English Language | Discussion
Mine is looking at various word lists. I find this expands it fairly easily! -
Hey all, My name's Lincoln, and I'm a Sociology student at Duke University. Linguaholic appealed to me because I enjoy discussing the various nuances that come with the way we humans communicate! I have taken Spanish at school and can listen and speak very well. Look for me on the english and spanish discussion forums!

Grammar Nazis just flat out stink... Especially if they're going out of their way to correct someone. It just irks me what some people will do to prove a point. The point of tone they use oftentimes is what upsets me the most.

Favourite English Movie
brothainarms replied to writeletters's topic in English Language | Discussion
Mine may be Titanic... Although it may be just because it takes place in England and features a number of english accents... :party: Terrible ending to the movie though... So sad jack had to die. Oh well. -
The correct use of "loose" and "lose"
brothainarms replied to sidney's topic in English Language | Discussion
That's just flat out using the wrong word... No excuse for that in m opinion. They need to learn to use the right word. Educate themselves. -
Whenever I read I generally read slowly. Whenever I read fast I find that I skim over important facts that may come into play later in a novel... Which is never good! For this reason I force myself to take in each and every word so I don't miss anything.
