hi bro.. so what's happening here ?

don03 · Sep 23, 2011

Machangla... try to avoid all these nonsense English classes all over cmb if u wanna learn English for real.. a language has to be taught in the same language.. the only way to learn English is by starting to think in English..

ex: say u see a girl in the street & wanna go n speak to her.. wat ur mind normally think is "ෂා මාර කෑල්ල.. පොඩ්ඩක් කතා කරන්න කරන්න ඕන" but if that is how its gonna be ull never learn English or any other language.. instead try thinking like this "wow wat a gorgeous lady she is.. must try speaking to her" . do this for 6 months & ull be 100times better than you are now..

Also if u can invest abt 30K try following this course at the British council.. it is the only program i knw u have in Sl if it is English u wanna learn..

This is the beauty and complexity of the English language.

"I hit him in the eye yesterday."

The word is "ONLY".

The Message:

1.ONLY I hit him in the eye yesterday. (No one else did.)
2.I ONLY hit him in the eye yesterday. (Did not slap him.)
3.I hit ONLY him in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit others.)
4.I hit him ONLY in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit outside the eye.)
5.I hit him in ONLY the eye yesterday. (Not other organs.)
6.I hit him in the ONLY eye yesterday. (He doesn't have another eye..)
7.I hit him in the eye ONLY yesterday. (Not today.)
8.I hit him in the eye yesterday ONLY. (Did not wait for today.)

well..."only" is really a versatile word..

Nice!, I think it's inevitable that you make mistakes while speaking or writing, the important thing is to, make sense.

True. It is critical even in philosophy. Clarity or "making sense" is a main criteria that is used to evaluate philosophical claims.

Well, my suggestion is different. My advice is to read English books as many as you can.

I second that. I have done this and it worked for me.

Started reading James Patterson's Kiss the Girls yesterday. I like the flow of the story. It's about a psycho serial killer and a cop chasing him (I guess. I'm still at the beginning)

Here are the words added to my vocabulary from the first few chapters

intimate - Closely acquainted; familiar, close
sibilant - Making or characterized by a hissing sound
nuance - A subtle difference in or shade of meaning, expression, or sound
asphalt - A mixture of dark bituminous pitch with sand or gravel, used for surfacing roads, flooring, roofing, etc
brandish - Wave or flourish (something, esp. a weapon) as a threat or in anger or excitement
barbiturate - Any of a class of sedative and sleep-inducing drugs derived from barbituric acid
gurney - A wheeled stretcher used for transporting hospital patients
skit - A short comedy sketch or piece of humorous writing, esp. a parody
visceral - Relating to deep inward feelings rather than to the intellect

Please speak in English bro. In my opinion I don't think it will be that sucessful for spoken. Spoken English need exposure and experience.
