Why this thread turned down several pages in this forum? :huh:
Isn't there anyone who wants to talk English here?

I'm just watching Johnny English...in English 😀
('cause, I don't know what to do, so I'm watching a film... :roll: )

 

[Mr.Raggaedeman]

Apparently Aussie-Englisch isnt accepted at german schools, is it? I'm a bit scared about it, It'd be a bloody big effort to switch again, especially cause the english which is taught on german schools sounds to Amis or Aussies more like Live-Comedy... Trust me 😉.

Good on ya,

Nico

 

[Mr.Raggaedeman]

You're rgith. The only english, which is thought on german scholls is british english, but some teachers do some American english,too, but not much.

The only english, which is thought on german scholls is british english[...]

You mean, it's taught at german schools, don't you? 😉

We're getting British-English in school, as well, our englishteacher said, that we only want to try to learn british english, as for myself, I don't like American-English...I can't as good understand as British English...

Now I think I made many mistakes in this post... :roll:

 

[Mr.Raggaedeman]

Right I ment taught.
We alle make mistakes, but this thread is to improve our english ,so it's no problem, as long we can understand it.^^

I agree with tpam (the person above me) but we also learned a few things that are different in Brithish- and in American-English. For example: Britains say "elevator" an Americans say "lift".

I think I made a lots of mistakes in this post, please correct me.

[...]learned a few things that are different[...]

This isn't a big mistake, actually it isn't one, I think, but I also think it has to be "learned a few things which are different" 😉

 

[Mr.Raggaedeman]

It's possible to use both. Which is the correct pronoun, for things.
But that can be used for persons or things, so it's still correct.
But now I did many mistakes^^

 

[byte0202]

I don't think so tpam.

Which is the correct pronoun, for things.

But I mean that the comma schouldn't be there and this is the only mistake i have found.

 

[Warrior]

In the English language it's a special thing with the commas...I can't get this rule -how you have to use them- into my head... :roll:

 

[byte0202]

Yes that's right. Especially when you can put a comma or leave it out.

In a few days it will be, like it was some time ago...we hadn't englishlessons for weeks, because our englishtecher doesn't feel well...so she wasn't at school for two weeks now...and at tuesday we possibly will write an english test with an other teacher...I HATE that -.-

 

[Mr.Raggaedeman]

Oh that's really bad. I have the same problem. I'm in the LK English and our teacher wasn't at school for a month now. And we will write a exam soon. -.-

 

[Corax]

so you have to do all the stuff (can i say that?) on you're own? thats hard...

 

[byte0202]

tpam, I think you shoud use "supossed to do" instead of "have".

 

[Phoenix-Ch]

Hm ... You could say "must", "have to" or "to be supposedhttp://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=/gQPU.&search=sth to do sth".

 

[Corax]

with "can i say that?" i meant the word "stuff".. but thanks for your help... the versions you offer me sound better then my...
