English Thread!!!

[Sponsored links]

[wigisan]

Hi .

I’ve decided to open this thread as a tool for practicing English.
It can be used not only as an English chat but also, as a good way to improve our level, if you consider that you don’t have a good level, don’t worry, cause here you’ll be able to learn it too, of course that this will depend on how much people join this forum and support this.

I opened it, cause I’ve read some posts in one of the forums, from many people who seemed to be interested in a forum like this.

I’m also interested in practicing and improving my English level, and maybe here, we could all have a good chance to do it.

Join this forum now!.

**bueno la idea como les digo es que tengamos un foro donde podamos practicar el inglés, y usarlo con diversos fines, no solo recreativos sino también educativos, lo importante es que de alguna forma tratemos de organizar esto para que todos tengan un espacio: tanto los que tienen un buen nivel como los que no, si manejas bien el idioma no dudes en unirte y ayudar a los que necesitan.

Como también mencioné abrí el foro porque leí en otro de los temas de esta categoría, uno de las técnicas para aprender idiomas, creo, en donde había mucha gente interesada en hacerlo, y bueno, espero que con el apoyo de los moderadores esto pueda servir.

Como se habrán dada cuenta yo me incluyo dentro de los interesados, porque deseo mejorar mi nivel y creo que aun me falta bastante para lograrlo.

Por cierto, la idea es que no posteen en español, aunque creo que sobra decirlo.

[Oesoto]

My english is not the best but i'd like to join this forum because I wanna practice more. I hope it will work

[Andres_Sk8er]

I think that this forum is good for the practice and imrpovement of our english....

[elfo]

It's a good idea, so I will practice now.

The Central Idea in this conversation is to practice English. So we can talk about an interesting thing, like PC, games or an other topic.

What do you think?

[rAm]

gotta do it supermoderator, no dirty words ...

[Loriquero]

In my humble opinion...Max Payne sux!!!

bueno .. no entendi ni papa-... de que se trata esto ???

por que no hablan en español??????

Jajaja i just done my job...

It was a pleasure....

[JuliänD]

All work and no play makes Julian a dull boy.

Good idea to improve our english. I think we're soon to open a multilingual LANeros's website! :p

[Luis(tm)]

Yeah... It´s a good idea to open an english forum.

But I think there is a better one -> Create a forum folder (just like "CPU", or "General") in which all language forums and topics can be placed.

That could be a nice gift for all those "Laneros" interested in forums dedicated to practice NOT only english but some other languages aswell.

What do you think about it JulianD master? =)

(plz)^10


By the way...
Anyone, start discussion for an alternative topic!
Not just: Yeah, cool an english forum, etc.


EDIT:
OPSSSS... The master just wrote over me :P LOL!

Well... Think about it (Folder for Language forums)

[wigisan]

Great, I just opened this forum 2 hours ago, and there have been many replies, I hope people keep joining this group, and I hope that all the "supermoderadores", support this, and don't allow this forum to end, cause this could become into a good forum, but only if you guys are checking this out, otherwise, this wouldn't work..

see ya!.

[Muzgash]

I want to join too....
but I am not creatuve enough to give some topic fo conversation...
and also my englih is pretty poor..

ah... why do not we begin telling what are our level of knowledge in the language

I was at the Centro Colombo Americano, I passed the 16 basic courses and I did 3 more advanced courses:
vocabulary building, listening comprehension and cinema apreciation
I had to retire beacuse I did not have money to continue... the bimestre was "only" 200.000 colombian pesos that is about 71 bucks...... sucks

[[[ Cold ]]]

so, are we gonna have like a defined topic, or we're talking about nothing special here?

[xellux]

so, are we gonna have like a defined topic, or we're talking about nothing special here?


.....I don't know man but let's try to do from this, somewhere we can talk ... and talk .... and talk.
I supose that if this forum is in english doesn't matter if there's only one topic...the really important is to learn, and know which is our level.

Don't you think the same than me?

[LORD_KRAGORD]

LETS TALK ABOUT GAMES AND PORN!!!

[Darth Spigia]

I agree with you... it's much better because we can create or take part in forums of our interest, and we'll be practicing other languages.

[gK-Saj@]

Nice!....This Forum is a great Idea... i don't have the best english, so, i want to Learn here :D.

[=LT=Nitrorider]

yee ha!! porn!!! at last, or not?

maybe lets begin talk about games, but i dunno what game...mmm..

r u play doom III? whats your favorite part?

the best part was the inferno and his boss

pues no se q mas decir, y si me equivoque en algo pues porfa corriganme con seriedad q la verdad no es q sea mero gringo :)

[=oR= OriON]

All right, at last an english forum for topic chat...well I hope we can talk about interesting things like...maybe...hardware, sofware what dou you thing?

[Krieg]

Since the idea is learning english I guess there is no problem if somebody quotes any error. Here some of them:

You only use "that" if the next word is a verb. If it is a noun you can skip it. Examples:

That's the game I want to buy.

Linux is the operating system I use.

JAJAJAJA, nice example.

[Svricatto]

Err... what´s the topic in this forum =?

[Oesoto]

in this moment it's an off-topic forum, we're waiting for a topic to talk about.

[wigisan]

well, why don't we start by talking about our english studies, for example, in my case: what I've learnt , I've done it by myself, no one has taught me,(only basical stuff you learn in school of course ), altought I've had who to practice with, 'cause some friends of mine speak English too.
Anyway, what I've learnt is a consecuence of playing videogames, watching movies; I recommend you to use the closed captioning system when you're watching a movie, it helps you to improve your listening and subtitles usually don't allow u to watch the original captioning in spanish, so this way you're forced to improve your listening abilities.

When you're listening to music (English stuff, of course), it's a good idea to get the lyrics, it's one of the best ways to improve your pronunciation , vocabulary, and listening; but if you think your level is good enough so try to transcribe the song by yourself, I mean, not getting the lyrics from the web.


So what do you think??.

[Luis(tm)]

I owe my scarce english knowledge to

- Internet articles
- PC Games, specifically Final Fantasy series

I think there is not a more enjoyable way to learn english... Maybe "Poor" english but at least joyous...

Personally think english classes at scool are useless, unless you study big time on your own.

Cya!

PD. Good topic Wigisan
Keep with the practice!

PD2. Good idea to correct mistakes from others Krieg
I think that is the way to improve the language -> Being corrected in "realtime" :P

[Oesoto]

Well, in this moment i'm studying english in my university, i'm in level 7

[kP-MaqP]

Ok.. great idea.

We need improvemment my english grammar.

Is possible to create another forum for another Language?

Someone read my mind.

I had this idea about a year ago but i never tought this'll be done.

Great job.

MMM,
I just studied english at school, lately reading so many technical articles I found interesting.

But I remember that old days when I was singing Bon Jovi' songs. :P (Gunners too!! what a head ache!! too fast for my tiny tongue.)

Dont laugh about it, he was a kind of hero for me.

[rena]

the only thing interesting on this forum is the language, there is two pages and anything cool. or maybe they gonna start to talk about "the lanera more beatiful" come on!!. please things better. bye

[Oesoto]

The right name would be "Who's the most beautiful lanera?" but it isn't going to happen in this forum. In this moment we haven't found a topic to talk about but maybe later we'll find one.

No it isn't. Since there is no a stated topic yet, nothing can be off-topic here. I think it would be better to call it a "Topicless" forum. But this can't remain topicless for too long or will be unuseful, cuz people will avoid to talk about subjects they don't dominate and the improvement will be minimal.

So i suggest to talk about a subject that appeal to all of us (no pc games or cellphones). Maybe we can start telling how do we get to learn the little english we know now and what was the main thing that move you to learn english.

my 2 cents

PD: looking forward krieg's corrections.

[ZeN<Guardian>]

May I?

It´s simply improve, mejo :)

Hey, does "mejo" have a translation? mmm, jeje, well, it does sound funny pronouncing the letter "j" like a "y" in spanish :p

Let`s start a topic here and give some sense to this forum:

Where did you learn your english?

I lived in the States for about three years, after that all my life has been around computers and music, tastes that requiere english to understand them, well, at least in a technical way.

And today I work in a company whose Manager is a native North American citizen, he brought his business here to Colombia, and so there is a spanglish culture all around the office. One very curious thing is when you´re talking in english with another person that speaks spanish :p, it feels strange, jeje.

Well that´s it for now.

Suertex... (translation?... uhhh... Lux? :p )

LOL.

That was sooo funny, for sure! :P

[Oesoto]

I'm learning English because is an obligation for my college studies but I also like english a lot, I think I prefer english more than spanish.

[Oesoto]

Hey, does "mejo" have a translation?

It's one of these words that you can't translate. You could use bro or something like that instead of "mejo"

Where did you learn your english?

And what if i'm still learning?


I also have a question, I have to use Spanish for this question so excuse me.

Is it correct to use STUFF as a traslation of COSAS??

for example: I brought candies, food, liquour and stuff.

[Andres_Sk8er]

1. I think you had a mistake when you were amending people:


You only use "that" if the next word is a verb. If it is a noun you can skip it.

No. In that case, you can use "that", it depends if u want or not, but it's not a mistake.

Example:

I think you are wrong.

I think that you are wrong.

2.

We need improvemment my english grammar.

You can't use gerund after a verb like "need", you wanted to say:

"I need to improve my English grammar".

3.

I think it is a good idea to practice and improve our english level

When a verb is the subject, you have to use gerund.

Example:

"I think practicing and improving our level is a good idea".

You made me curious about that because that's the only english class I remember (it was the first one) and I am pretty sure the teacher said removing the 'that' was mandatory. Anyway, I checked in the Internet and found you are right and even there are 3 more rules you have to check before removing the 'that'.




The word that is used as a conjunction to connect a subordinate clause to a preceding verb. In this construction that is sometimes called the "expletive that." Indeed, the word is often omitted to good effect, but the very fact of easy omission causes some editors to take out the red pen and strike out the conjunction that wherever it appears. In the following sentences, we can happily omit the that (or keep it, depending on how the sentence sounds to us):

* Isabel knew [that] she was about to be fired.
* She definitely felt [that] her fellow employees hadn't supported her.
* I hope [that] she doesn't blame me.

Sometimes omitting the that creates a break in the flow of a sentence, a break that can be adequately bridged with the use of a comma:

* The problem is, that production in her department has dropped.
* Remember, that we didn't have these problems before she started working here.

As a general rule, if the sentence feels just as good without the that, if no ambiguity results from its omission, if the sentence is more efficient or elegant without it, then we can safely omit the that. Theodore Bernstein lists three conditions in which we should maintain the conjunction that:

* When a time element intervenes between the verb and the clause: "The boss said yesterday that production in this department was down fifty percent." (Notice the position of "yesterday.")
* When the verb of the clause is long delayed: "Our annual report revealed that some losses sustained by this department in the third quarter of last year were worse than previously thought." (Notice the distance between the subject "losses" and its verb, "were.")
* When a second that can clear up who said or did what: "The CEO said that Isabel's department was slacking off and that production dropped precipitously in the fourth quarter." (Did the CEO say that production dropped or was the drop a result of what he said about Isabel's department? The second that makes the sentence clear.)

Do you know what is great? In english you can say bad words in the forum, and nothing happens }] those stupid **** dont works here! :D

For example: i can say tits (or teat), mother ************er, bitch, etc...


Now, this is a great Idea, i´m really happy with this forum, at least Laneros is useful }]. no, thats not true :p

OK, krieg now i´m yours, let me know what did i wrote wrong? :\

PD: guardian, in english, it isn´t says "mejo", it is "meho" :p

[Muzgash]

when yu ask.... like you did...
quote:
what did i wrote wrong?

you are already using a past tense with the auxiliar did, so you do not have to use the verb also in past tense.....

now the correct question would be:
what did i write wrong?

[ymhotep]

Nice forum!

I have a question for you... have anyone take the TOEFL, IELTS, Michigan or any other english test?

I ask this because as many of you, I also learned by myself and I'm willing to take the TOELF or IELTS and I don't know whether my english level is good enough to have a good score.

The objective to take that test is to apply for an immigrant visa in Canada.

I think it's a good idea to put this forum in a Top Level category in order to have faster access to it, because here we'll have to explore some pages to find it when the other forums have more posts.

Good luck for everyone!

[cL-Underground]

My problem is that I don't got english education, but I learned as i go trought my job, there is many problems trying to say long verses, and it is all because of the few grammar hat i learned.
does soembody know about books or web pages capable of helping me out with my grammar? I cannot go to chool in Korea because it is a big mesh over here so there is nothing else for me to do

[Krieg]

Texto Originalmente Escrito por Davcast
Do you know what is great?

This another common mistake. You are already making the question with "Do yo u..." so the rest of the sentence is normal.

Examples:

Do you know what time it is?
Do you know where she lives?
Do you know where the keys are?

[=oR= OriON]

Hello there....

Well, I learned my english in elementary school, I had a very good teacher there, besides he spoke french too, I don´t know but I like to get in the colombo you know what I mean?, so if somebody studies there I appreciate the information.

why i haven´t a lot of money??? i want to be rich !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wigisan]

Texto Originalmente Escrito por Davcast
I don´t understand the point...

How should i whrite it?

The point is that you can't ask a question twice in the same sentence, I mean, you can't say: do you know what time is it?
The last part shouldn't be a new question: is it? ,is a new interrogative form, so the sentence would be: Do you know what time it is? .

I hope you get the point.

bye.

[wigisan]

why i haven´t a lot of money??? i want to be rich !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. I'd say Why haven't I got a lot of money??.

or 2. Why don't I have a lot of money??. altought this form isn't often used.

When you use haven't, ti sounds more like the auxiliar form used in the perfect tenses, I guess that what u really meant when you wrote haven't was a neagtive form from the verb: to have, in that case you should've written the sentence as I have in the second point.

Tell me if I'm wrong... That's what I think...

Nop. I am right and you are wrong :)

English is more picky about double questions and double negations and since I am an engineer I like that.

In case you don't know what a double negation is:

I don't know nothing about history. WRONG.
I don't know anything about history. CORRECT.

Spanish is really weird because double negations are the rule (i.e. Yo no se nada).


PS. I just realized "In case you don't know what a double negation is" is another good example. Do you see the 'is' at the end? It is there because it is not a question.

[bRuX@.mpg]

thanx :P

the right form of writing the second sentence is:

do you know where she lives?
the part that include "she lives" doesn't correspond to the part of the question...it is a the complement, so you should write it in the affirmative o negative form
i.e.
do they seem like they aren't going to jump? (not very usefull)

Hi everyone, what I know of the english lenguage I learned it by myself, I started with the anglo music, then came the books and other stuffs like movies and friends.

My principal problem with this lenguage ara the "idioms", this is mi bigger trouble; I'm listening and understanding a dialogue, when sudenly...ZUAS, an idiom, and then I get lost.

If somebody knwos common or non common idioms please, write them and traslate for all.

what means sux?

I'd like to learn more about idioms too. "fast" is right when you're usually having a conversation with a native person and he/she uses an idiom, it's easy to get lost.

Hi my name is mike and i have been learning english for 24 years, and one day I will be good at it. I am still learning everyday, and am trying to improve my vocabulary.

Here we study english from grade 1 to grade 12 and then some applied english at university, although my mum taught me to read before school.
I can speak english, and know when something is wrong but as for knowing that the subjective pronoun is the third person blah blah blah, I can get a little lost.

Perhaps I am better off trying to answer questions about idiom rather than grammer ( I will leave that to the pedantic german engineer ;D)

pd: sux=sucks

sux/sucks is because of the phrase ( and this will likely get moderated) he/she/that sucks dick/ass.
people shortened that to take the rude words off the end so they can say it in front of their parents
that sucks
that obiviously wasn't short enough so we got
sux.

Angle, In the middle of the pacific and Indian oceans are two little Islands. One of them the biggest Island in the world and the other a couple of smaller Islands.
In Australia (Oz) live Aussies (Sometimes called skippy's by other peoples because of a really bad tv show we had here once called "skippy the bush kangaroo")
In the other Islands (New Zealand) live kiwi's, so called because of the national fauna of new zealand, a flightless bird called a kiwi.

Bush here is used as term for regional areas where there is a light foliage cover known as scrub.

Most of our idioms are to do with drinking, I guess its like the eskimos and words for snow.

Ok IF you want you can all ask questions in english about here, and germany and their beer and sausages.

[wigisan]

hey let's go on talking!.

I'm waiting for the idioms....

[EnempE]

thats a pretty broad question umm i can't really think of too many at the moment apart from getting pissed.

being pissed is drunk (boracho) when used in context and not urinating.

"pissing it up the wall" is another saying that means to waste something, usually money. From people spending all of their money on beer.

BTW, kudos to all people who have learned English by themselves... your level is really good! My hat goes off to you.

[EnempE]

I think that the topic for this is learning english,

What are the main pitfalls that you have encountered learning english?
What is the hardest concept to understand?
What don't you understand?

[Krieg]

The main problem in Colombia is people don't learn good english in the school. And the people who learned something (by themselves or taking lessons) are too shy to speak, that's why lot of people answer "Lo entiendo pero no lo hablo" when you ask them if they speak english.

I don't really think that this forum is going to help you improve your english skills...

I'd say that if you are serious about learning.. try taking some classes.. (I heard Berlitz was good)... and if possible ... travel to an English speaking country.

You may learn to write some stuff in english... but not to speak it.

Go as far as you can from the big cities...
NO:
Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Atlanta, etc...

Look for smaller cities... and less popular states.. like Oklahoma, Utah, Ohio, Kentucky...

You'll find some hispanics.. but not as many as there are in here...(ATL)

i think that you guys are really bored to make this forum, right?
this is a really wasting time forum, because it's a forum. Not a chat, where the people talks.. come on!
if you guys wanna learn english go to an english school center.
if you guys wanna talk or chat in english go to the chat and use it!have fun, relax, maybe make a couple of friends and chat over there and please don't create this wasting time forum.. so I'm invite you people to use the LANeros chat at: irc.freenode.net #LANeros.

Son1c,

you may know the technology questions from such forums as CPU, video cards and perepherals.

I have a managed firewall off another office in another state. It's not going to work they are blocked deliberatly and aren't going to be unblocked. Company policy.

This forum was seaching for a meaning when you declared it dead. If it is really dead then it will stop naturally, people will simply not access it.

I am not sure that any of the forums here will save the world, but them might entertain or people understand something a little better at some stage, Like me trying to understand you right now.

My mind is open to everything, including people wasting their own time.

If you want some pupose to this then I will give you one.

Where are you based ?

(here is your technical question)

What is the power like there? here it is 220 ~ 240 volt @ 50 - 60 Hz gengally 10amps per circuit with a max load of 2.4 kw. Is it similar there?

I am looking to buy a cheap camera to take on holidays and am wondering if a rechargable camera is a bad idea.

[c0re]

in usa we have 110 to 220 volts..
maybe if you can buy one.. no problem
but you have to check technical features like power cord, or maybe power ac (adapted cable) in your camera.
or maybe you have to buy the camera and get one another power cord, compatible with ur camera and the switch in america

[EnempE]

maybe it is easier to get one with 'AA' batteries. Or I should just not try and charge in USA. I think that south america is different.

[c0re]

mhmh.. right maybe a couple of batteries, works good.
i think in south america it's the same volts, im sure that 99.9% is the same level of voltage.

[ferrodri]

Hi friends, I have a question for you
¿How can I translate "throughput"?, it's a particular word used in computer networks, but I have not found a specific meaning

[[CP] Lord Strike]

lol cmon little kids stop whit the fusle jajaja

my nisle the yesle and desle :P

[EnempE]

Throughput,
I use this term to refer to an amount that can be actually passed through, or put through a link. It is not a measurement like bandwidth but refers to the actual amount transported on a link. Be it a PCB bus or a network cable.

Does that help elucidate the concept?

Most of the south american countries use 110v @ 60Hz except Brasil, Chile and Argentina (as far as I remember). Anyway, most of the chargers for electronic devices nowdays work with 110 and 220. I myself have a rechargable camera (Canon) and it works everywere and the camara is already 3 years old. Just check the charger of the camara before buying. You will have problems with the connectors but you can buy adapters. In Colombia we use the 2 plain pararel connectors (USA).

[§en§ei Ħaφnu§]

Some people say this forum have no practical porpouses. Well, maybe I can help to change that whit this copy-paste:

CURSO DE INGLES DE EMERGENCIA

Si tiene que viajar de emergencia a los Estados Unidos y no tiene tiempo para aprender inglés, léase esto, lo puede salvar en un momento de necesidad:

Si quiere COCA COLA diga GUIMI A COUC.
Si quiere un café y una dona, diga COFI ANA DONAT.
Si quiere unos huevos con jamón, diga JAM AN EGS.
Si se agarra un dedo con la puerta del taxi, diga FOC.
Si algo le parece muy costoso, diga FOC.
Si se cae en el metro diga FOC.
Si lo asaltan en el Bronx, diga FOC.
Si se encuentra con una mujer de esas de película, diga UARA FOC!
Si alguien le grita algo que contenga FOC, responda FOQUIU TU.
Si pierde el pasaporte, detenga un policía y diga AI LOST MAI FO.QUIN PEIPERS.
Si se pierde en la ciudad, grite AI AM FO.QUIN LOST.
Cuando se refiera a un tercero, diga DE FO.QUIN GAI OVERDER.
Si quiere acostarse con una morenota, dìgale AI UANA FOC UIT YU.
Si quiere acostarse con una rubia, dìgale JELOU, CAN AI FOQUIU?
Si no sabe dónde tomar un taxi, diga JAO TU GUET A FO.QUIN CAB?
Si está muy enojado, no diga REFOC, sólo diga FOC varias veces.
Y si está muy enojado con alguien, diga FOC varias veces. Dígale AS JOL.
Si le quieren tomar el pelo, pregunte ARIU FO.QUIN MI?
Y si estas instrucciones no le sirven de mucho… UAT DA FOC YU UANT?

[§en§ei Ħaφnu§]

And for people who don´t speak spanish, a little course too (another copy-paste):

SPANISH FOR GRINGOS

(Para que los gringos aprendan castellano)

There´s always something to learn or to try, many times yo need to say some phrases in spanish, but you don´t know how to speak in spanish. The Smart Gringo Program will be helpful in your learning. By the way, we took from it some common phrases, just try them and tou´re gonna see the difference and how easy es speaking spanish.

(Léase primero en inglés)

Boy as N R = Voy a cenar = I´m gonna have a dinner.
N L C John = En el sillón = On the armchair.
Be a hope and son = Viejo panzón = Fat old man
Who and see to seek ago = Juancito se cagó = Little John is a chichken things.
S toy tree stone = Estoy tristón = I´m kind a sad.
Lost trap eat toss = Los trapitos = The little rags.
Desk can saw = Descanso = (you) rest.
As say toon as = Aceitunas = Olives.
The head the star mall less stan dough = Deje de estar molestando = Stop bugging me.
See eye = Sí hay = Yes we have.
T N S Free O? = ¿Tienes frío? = Are you cold?
T N S L P P B N T S O = Tienes el pipí bien tieso = You have an erection.
Tell O boy ah in cruise tar = Te lo voy a incrustar = I´m going to insert it in you.
Ten go LPP inch a dough = Tengo el pipí hinchado = I have my dick blown up.

[ferrodri]

Thank you very much Mr Enempe, I really was thinking that Throughput was refering to some network performance or availibity even processing capacity of LAN/WAN link.

Moreover. ¿Have you ever known something about IEEE 802.11n standard? or WI - MAX, it's new term applied to wireless networks

Well, Hi everybody.
I´m Edd, I'm twety two years old. I'm From Santa Marta, the America's Pearl or the most beauty bay in America.
I Study Systems Engineering In the University of Magdalena, and I'm in the Tenth Semester.

All the english than I know was learned in my high School (as you can see) and by my own. I was convinced than i was in a good level of english, but I realized than that was False.
I don't have aspirations to follow the studies of english, because in everywhere only teach english of the United States. This is a very vicious english (grammarly speaking) and besides I hate the United States. Now, I want to learn some other languages like Deustch, French or Japanese, since my desire is to travel to another countries differents from what most people desire (like Canada, Australia, Germany, or Japan).

And finally, Japan it's not a english speaking country directly, but they speak Japanese AND English nationally, so, i would like to live there and take a peek into their big culture.

[Zetta]

Hello, this is my first time in here in the English Forum, I would like to live also in England, why¿¿¿¿ because I think, is the best country to learn English, They brought the English to the world (that's wath I think), I don't like Australia because I don't undeerstand anything they say. Each country has their accent, but in the schools, our teachers accustom us to the American English, so when we hear an English or an Australian accent, we don't understand many of what they say (well, that's my case).

[ralphy]

England? pretty nice country I must say. I havn't had the opportunity to go visit, but as far as I'm concern that's the first country in the travel list around Europe, second will be Italy and third is Greece.

Does anyone watch the "As If" tv program? that's a good chance to try and understand the british accent.

I think Great Britain would be a good country to try and learn engilsh, good english. Obviuosly you should be capable to understand and speak with amercian accent, since that is the most widely used in countries close to us.

One question: where are the ladies of this forum????

[DobleD]

England. I thnk that the enghlish people known the meaning of the word "right". But United States people.....

[EnempE]

I've only ever been surfing once.

The climate in australia is much nicer than that of england, and the people layed back.

Not all english people speak like the queen.

[Omeya]

I agree, the English accent is nice, and some times Australians are difficult to understand. But Australia has the best weather and is the less expensive. If I had the opportunity I’ll live in the US not because is the nicest but because is the nearest home.

Every country has different accents in different areas.

Yes, just like here, we all have different accents in spanish, so, it's not hard to understand that there are different accents in almos all the languajes in the world. (Well that's what I think)

But take it with a little bit of skepticism 'cause my english is definitely not the "best in town". So... I urge you to find professional help from Krieg or any other Lanero knowing the most from "Elegant English Grammar".

Cya!

Hey guys, long time ago I knew a page where you typed a word and you could listen to the right pronunciation of that word. Unfortunately I lost the URL of that page.

Does anybody know a web page where we can do the same? It would be sooooo helpful for us

Thanks!

Edit:

I found the page guys

http://www.research.att.com/projects/tts/demo.html

It's just awesome, I hope it will help you

[Luis(tm)]

http://www.research.att.com/projects/tts/demo.html
It's just awesome, I hope it will help you

Oh MAN THAT'S JUST IMPRESSIVE!

Gonna start asking some weird/unusual words now =)

[Oesoto]

Finally, I could learn the difference between the pronunciation of LEAVE and LIVE and BEACH and BITCH :p

[asdf1224]

m.. that's a good page, but, there's a software which does the same thing, just search for "Shit Talker_v1.2"

[Oesoto]

And what about the pronunciation, is it good?

[Davcast]

Hi, i have been reading all the tread, and it had really help me, i have two doubts about the meaning of the words, so i really want to know, what is the differce between:

1. whether / if

2. stuffs / things


About the accent, i undestand to the English people much better that the American People, i think in england the words are pronunciated best.

Well my englhis is very regular, but i am enough humble to accept it. :p

[mAoS]

Laughing Out Loud...its the only thing i know

[wigisan]

Hi!.

I hadn't posted here in months, but I'm happy to see how this tread I opened some months ago is helping somehow to get a new use from this site, it'd be great to have a subforum where we could learn Japanese, german, english, portuguese.. So I'm supporting Luis(tm) and I hope you all do it too!!

So, Luis(tm), let me know if there's something new about this , because I'd like to take one of this courses..

bye.

[UAC-darkriff]

Hey, Can somebody explain me how can i win more points in the Karma.... With how many points y get 2 Karmas, actually I have ten....

[wigisan]

Hey, Can somebody explain me how can i win more points in the Karma.... With how many points y get 2 Karmas, actually I have ten....

That's a good question, I'd also like to know how this system works, but there's something I've realized: once you become into a LANero Plus, you get your karma increased it doesn't matter if you're a newbie or a known member..

If you want to become a Lanero Plus you'll have to give a fee for this..


see ya

[Oesoto]

Karma is a reputation that you start to get when you post messages that are good.
Only people can give you more Karma and only if they want, do you see the ying yang symbol next to your avatar?? well, when people think your post is really good they click that symbol and give you "karma", "karma" can be good and bad so if you post bad messages you can also be bad qualified and you can lose reputation.

This link explains you how many points you need to go to the next level.

http://www.laneros.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11280

When you become a LANero Plus you automatically get 100 karma points, click the following link in order to get more information about LANeros Plus

http://www.laneros.com/v45_about.php?#ldcplus

PD: If you have more questions just ask!
PD1: Sorry for the mistakes, my English isn't the best =)

[metro]

That is a good example of an excellent post, Oesoto puts a good answer and add some extra links!!

Personally, i'm giving reputation (karma points) on every GOOOOD post that i see, i think that maybe a little, but people likes to know when they did a god job.

Too bad my english?? :S

[Luis(tm)]

...So, Luis(tm), let me know if there's something new about this , because I'd like to take one of this courses...

Hehe
I wanna take two of them :P (German and Russian :D)

Cya!

[EnempE]

whether and if

Both conditional but when to use what. Basically if is the common one, that is used most of the time, whether is usually past tense and generally third person. Use if until you become sure of where whether is appropriate, If will sound right most all of the time.

Stuff is not really a noun in proper english and is used as a verb for filling something with another thing. using it as a noun is something that people so but it is not really formal english. It is not pluralised, and not often used to describe a definate article. I mean it is not used to say " I have two stuffs here" it would be " I have some stuff here" or " I have stuff to do" rather than "Ihave two stuff to do".

Thing how ever is like a retarded version of cosa and can be used for a definate article. " I have two things in my bag" and " I have two things to do" . Personally I prefer the use of thing as opposed to stuff, as it sound more mature and has that specificity should you require it. It also can be used in a general nature, like stuff, If you pluralise the noun but dont define the amount " I have things to do" " I have things in my bag".

I hope that helps, Let me know if that is of benefit.


-Mike.

[metro]

Oooh
Thanks a lot EnempE!
Great post! (+Karma) =)

Mobile virus infects Lexus cars
by David Quainton

Lexus cars may be vulnerable to viruses that infect them via mobile phones. Landcruiser 100 models LX470 and LS430 have been discovered with infected operating systems that transfer within a range of 15 feet.
"If infected mobile devices are scary, just thinking about an infected onboard computer..," said Eugene Kaspersky, head of anti-virus research at Russian firm Kaspersky. "We do know that car manufacturers are integrating existing operating systems into their onboard computers (take the Fiat and Microsoft deal, for instance)."

It is understood the virus could affect the navigation system of the Lexus models, it transfers onto them via a Bluetooth mobile phone connection. It is still unclear whether the cars in question use the Symbian operating system which has recently been under attack from various worms and viruses.

"At this stage it's still early but it just goes to show that technology has consequences," said David Emm, senior technology consultant at Kaspersky. "It's scary stuff."

Vulnerable operating systems are increasingly moving onto a number of different devices. Last year the Slammer worm infected 13,000 Bank of America ATMs as a result of them moving to a Windows-based operating system.

"I've even seen screenshots of major commercial aeroplanes with Windows 2000-based operating systems," said Mikko Hypponen, director of anti-virus research at Finnish firm F-Secure. "Cars are an obvious target for viruses. It's okay if you don't use the operating system for the engine and the brakes, but when you do..."

Bill Gates is a known Lexus driver. In 1999 he auctioned one for charity.

When contacted Lexus declined to comment.

It it unbeliavable to see that the future is here among us, and we can't be sure of it.

It is awful to think that anybody with the experience to hack and infect OS can by simply getting near to your car infect it with a virus. I can not believe this really, we have to domain this technology before we can use it for this kind of functions.

Damn BG.
