English learning thread for DUMMIES

High School

You do not learn by compulsory education
But it is easy for Spanish speakers to learn English, rather than for Japanese to learn English

We don't have that. All our school is named Middle School. And education you got there is named full middle education.
I picked up almost all my english from Jow Forums.
Good thing there is place like this. Because it's some closed circle. It's hard improve your language skill without practice but you can't get practice having bad skill. Thanks god there are Jow Forums incels who are so kind to converse with you.

my sista was learning japanese koz nowadays girls are obsessed with oriental culture. all want to learn japanese and korean. so i remember coup words like ohayo gadzaimas. also konichiva and arigato, though all know those words.

>I picked up almost all my english from Jow Forums.
There are many people who use bad words and talk badly in 4ch
When we study English on 4ch, I think we will learn so far as those kind of words

just remember to avoid using such words in public unless you're in a fight

I'm big boy so i'm fine with bad words.
By the way, polish have very funny swear words as for me.
Ukrainian and polish are very similar languages so i can understand guys from Poland a bit.

> all know those words
That is amazing.
The world has become very narrow thanks to the Internet and globalism. Japan is a closed country, so I never thought that I would ever talk to Ukrainians like this.

I will take care not to do so
I want to be seen elegantly to strangers

why not? people will think you're just foreigner.
Kinda you could say "Fuck you very much" instead of thank and probably people just would think "wew, and guy is good in english he-he".

Is this wrong, anglos friends?
"They are, and have been, moors since ever. That's why there wasn't worries about it."

>wasn't
I think you have to say weren't

I think there's a cultural fact implied, japaneses are very polite and correct.

Yes, senpai, internet and globalism is great thing.
probaby i will never visit japan but i'm able, thanks to internet, to lift up to Fuji and to see sunrise from there.

>They are, and have been, moors since ever. That's why there wasn't worries about it.
They are Moors and have been ever since. That's why there weren't any worries about it.

There's no subject at the end of the first sentence -- 'since ever/ever since' what? I'd probably change it again to something like "they are Moors and have been since time immemorial."

> Ukrainian and polish are very similar languages

I heard it for the first time
The relationship between European countries bordering each other is complex and dramatic
unlike geographically independent island countries like Japan
I have just recently learned about Poland's a varied history. Ukraine is surely a country with various histories

Well, i know about japanese only from anime and movies about yakuza. Japanese don't look extremely polite ones in those movies ke-ke.

Yes, we have something, though it's not as beautiful as japanese stories. You know, Tajra and Minamoto, war Gampai, samurai, ninjas, god-emperor etc.

英語で「ソープランド」は「brothel]と呼ばれる

Thanks.

Thank you ever so much user, I really appreciate it.

>Japanese don't look extremely polite ones
There are many dirty words and rude ways to say in Japan
However, when I visited here, I realized that there were fewer words in Japan
for insulting people or for despising people thoroughly than in other countries.

And this is very well. being kind and polite is good thing. i wish my countrymen had more of those qualities.

>Yes, we have something, though it's not as beautiful as japanese stories. You know, Tajra and Minamoto, war Gampai, samurai, ninjas, god-emperor etc.

you know well about japan

however,there are beautiful flowers that bloom in deep feeling and great suffering
They are called art or philosophy.
Japan is a homogeneous society, and it is not a society where multiple races are in contact with each other
as in Western Europe, so I feel that neither thorough hatred nor thorough love was born in Japan

I have a toothache so I have to go to a dentist today
It was a thread for beginners, isn't it?

wan, tsu, surii, fou, faibu, sikkusu, sebun, eito, nain, ten

Which prefecture do you live in?

this thread is so blessed, you are based for making this thread OP, just wanna voice my appreciation

I was born in Tokyo. I live in the suburbs of Tokyo.
I look forward to the Tokyo Olympics.
Because my aunt wants to do a companion at the Tokyo Olympics
she studied English abroad in New Zealand last year

that should be "do a competition"
if you would like to be more accurate with the wording, i would say "participate" or "take part in" a competition

like this?
"Because my aunt wants to take part in a competition of the Tokyo Olympics "

close, but i would bring together those two lines to look like this and change a little bit like this:

"I look forward to the Tokyo Olympics because my aunt wants to take part in the competition at the Tokyo Olympics"

and because the event (the Tokyo Olympics) were already mentioned in the sentence, you can leave it out and just say this instead:

"I look forward to the Tokyo Olympics because my aunt wants to take part in the competition there."

you can just say "there", because we already know what place you're talking about.

I don't understand how exactly countable nouns work.
If I like to kiss cats, should I say:
I like to kiss a cat. (because I don't kiss multiple cats at the same time)
or
I like to kiss cats. (because it's not only one cat I like to kiss)
?

>I like to kiss a cat
isn't a sentence one would actually say. you're saying it as though you like to kiss specifically one cat, but this could either mean it is a specific cat (like a pet of yours) or you only like to kiss one cat (which doesn't really make sense)

>I like to kiss cats
is a sentence that makes sense though, because you are making a general claim. you are not saying that you like to kiss a single cat or a specific cat, you are saying that you would kiss any cat, but not necessarily several cats at once.

tl;dr:
You would say the second sentence, but not because you like to kiss multiple cats at the same time, but because you just generally enjoy kissing any number of cats.

Well I understand. Thank you.
But there is one misunderstanding.
The top two lines and the bottom lines are different stories
I look forward to the Tokyo Olympics, but it's not just for my aunt, but simply as a sporting event.
I do not like that aunt very much.
because she always gives a sermon to me.
she is just a "口うるさい婆ぁ”for me haha

Was it better here?
“My aunt studied English abroad in New Zealand last year because she wants to take a competition at the Tokyo Olympics”

That's interesting. Thank you. So If I were to say that I like to sleep with stuffed animals, that would only mean I'm making a general claim and I would sleep with any stuffed animal, but not necessarily several stuffed animals at once, right?

well if the reason why she wanted to study abroad is the tokyo olympics, that would be better, yes.

correct!

How much do English learners hate the spelling?

>whom had
it’s who had, not whom sorry

thank you, いい人

no, thank you for learning my language
its rough

That one is a bit more ambiguous, since it is reasonable to sleep with more than one stuffed animal at a time, but it does get the point across.

this is kinda right, but ambiguity in this case is somewhat irrelevant.

For me, it is not difficult very much to remember spellings of English words.
The difficult thing is how to use articles

Thank you. I think I'm finally starting to understand how countable nouns work! It looks like the context also matters.

I personally don't hate the spelling much but I hate English pronunciation because it's very difficult for me.

I have noticed it can be a bit tricky for the Japanese to pronounce. I part of the problem is that Japanese is constructed using a set of syllables, and western words don't always correspond to those syllables. Is this accurate in your experience?

np bro

Tell me about your favourite meal

your bloody flesh

...

Yeah, that's part of the problem, though I meant more that I have trouble with alien sounds such as th, l and r. I still can't hear the difference between l and r.

I like noodles rather than rice
I like yakisoba, udon, spaghetti and so on.
When my mother is having trouble making dinner, she takes food from a Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood.
The restaurant's yakisoba is delicious in authentic Chinese style

if you can practice words like turtle or caller, ones with l and r in them, it will help you a lot im sure.
as for th, it actually makes two sounds, so its worse than you think lol.

lte me ask you something is it right that your people are two faces or it's just a myth?

the first sentence is correct, but i would say "instead of", not "rather than". both options make complete sense tho
i would also say that your mother "gets", not "takes", as the implication is that she would take it without permission

Aim for 100 reses

>your people are two faces
Somewhat yes
Japanese people divide the inside and the outside.
This doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with someone else. It is just an old custom.
We talk freely with our families and say what we want to say. The home is a comfortable place
where we show off our bare faces.
But when we head to society, public places, and non-family people, we show a different face.
It is more polite and helpful, but in the sense that it does not show the true mind, it creates
a wall between the other party and us
Again, this is just a habit. There is no evil to anyone.

>"instead of"
ok
Does "take" mean something a bit more forceful?
In this case, get is good. understood. Thank you.

did someone gets angry with you for being two faces? i actually enjoy expresive and sincere people and disgust me hypocrate people (when i find out that people are lying me) i don't know i'll never get that habit from your people

Guys, I have finally got 7.5 from IELTS

Say nice things pls

The Japanese said, "When we divide the face facing inward from the face facing out”,
foreigners seem to think that the Japanese will lie to them.
But that's not the case. The Japanese think of it as a kind of manner and a manifestation of respect for the people outside.
When dealing with unknown people, they think they should be polite, use honorifics, and not disturb the atmosphere.
Because of this practice, they try to keep their manners as possible even when faced with a major disaster
Well, there are good and bad aspects to this practice. So when the time to change comes, it will change.

Me too

In formal terms, a differentiable manifold is a topological manifold with a globally defined differential structure. Any topological manifold can be given a differential structure locally by using the homeomorphisms in its atlas and the standard differential structure on a linear space. To induce a global differential structure on the local coordinate systems induced by the homeomorphisms, their composition on chart intersections in the atlas must be differentiable functions on the corresponding linear space. In other words, where the domains of charts overlap, the coordinates defined by each chart are required to be differentiable with respect to the coordinates defined by every chart in the atlas. The maps that relate the coordinates defined by the various charts to one another are called transition maps.

We've grown used to wonders in this century. It's hard to dazzle us. We've grown used to the idea of spacee, and perhaps we forget that we've only just begun. We're still pioneers. Sometimes painful things like this happen. It's all part of the process of exploration and discovery. It's all part of taking a chance and expanding man's horizons. The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. Nothing ends here. On this day 390 years ago, the great explorer Sir Francis Drake died aboard ship off the coast of Panama. In his lifetime the great frontiers were the oceans, and a historian later said, 'he lived by the sea, died on it, and was buried in it.' Well, today we can say of the Challenger crew: their dedication was, like Drake's, complete. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, as they prepared for the journey and waved goodbye and 'slipped the surly bonds of Earth' to 'touch the face of God.' Thank you.

No, a differentiable manifold does not intrinsically have a metric defined and so the curvature of a manifold is undefined. However, if you do equip the space with a metric, the so-called sectional curvature is closely related to the curvature of an ordinary two-dimensional manifold. To be precise, the sectional curvature is the curvature of the two-dimensional manifold spanned by a two-dimensional subspace of the tangent space under the exponential map (implemented via geodesics).

I took a class about this but I got a D in it so I got no clue what you're talking about.

Oh, are you an English beginner too? I thought you were a native speaker from your flag, sorry

No I'm a native speaker. I mean I took a class in the math, not the english.

any anglo studying Japanese ?

Let's discuss in English about anything

What are your thoughts on the Russian Federation?

How long have you been learning English?

shut up piece of shit

お前、失礼だな

*Elegant, not elegantly

Also, I would suggest using "Polite." It sounds more natural.

i think it is osoroshia

Well done Azeri fren

What Spanish movies or series do you recommend? I can read Spanish up to a point, but I can’t actually hear it in conversation

ok it would extend my grammar skill by ten fold should I ever download another grammar app, but I have had moderate English skill already and I'm needing math more than anything right now.

For pronunciation, rather than focusing on listening, you should look into the way your tongue is positioned during these sounds. This helped me a lot in improving my pronunciation of foreign languages.

thanks a lot

just answering rude question with rude answer thank you
