Bad English

I always find it difficult to understand some dialogues in american movies when actors use poor construction  in their speech and talk too fast.

So that I prefer to read books and listen to news broadcast and  educational programms when study English.

The problem of using colloquialisms is relevant for my native language too. Some people use them constantly, especially if they are exited or indignant or when they are not sure what to say.

As for me, I do all possible to avoid using them, as I want my speech to be correct in any situation.

I from  in Iraq I speak arabic and turkman and kurdy  .but my english is bad .I want to learn english .In order to know each other together and communicate in order to learn the English language.

my english  is  poor ,I want to learn english.

I speak Arabic and I have some problems in English, I usually  use “y’know”, when I speak English , and I don’t really fond out appropriate words to express what I wanna say , I’ve to say also that the american accent is so difficult to understand , I’ve got to repeat the speech for many times to get understand what they’re saying.

I want to give my opinion about this topic, it’s true that in written English , using those words like “wanna , gonna ” it’s something to delete only if we are in an exam or something like that , because personally , I use this “poor words” when I talk to friends , even here , I just fed up with caring about how I’ve to write , word by word, but if this person is a child , we have to make attention and trying to write and even speak correctly, because at this age , they memorize all we say easily. 

Anyway , I’ve got to repeat this vid for once again , because just like I’ve said , it’s so difficult to me , to understand what they say actually. 

I’m trying to learn english! I know I have still bad knowledge in this! I’m learning it myself without any teachers. My problem is writing and speaking. So, I wanted to say sorry for my bad and poor comment on this site. But I am trying and hope I’m growing.

I am from Croatia, and I try to improve my English..when I came to Canada I attended ESl school..when I start it was hard because I couldnt understand what people actually talk..i use lots colloguisalisms”um” or “like”..I know that it takes lots of practice..i need more teaching, coaching..English as a second Lenguage or ESL help me lots..

I speak Dari(Persian) which is my native language, but when I speak English, I do also use the poor construction as: Like, For Example.. the biggest problem that I have is with the pronounciation. In my daily life I speak Persian, Pashto(Local language in Afghanistan), English sometimes Urdo and Arabic while praying or reading Quran. So all these has effected my tongue and I cannot pronouce easy things for example I cannot pronounce TH properly like THE, BOTH. TH is prounced almost the same with one of the letters in Arabic which is ث . Once someone asked me my phone number, when I told him the last number which is 3, he laughted at me and said: Tree? I said no, Stree. Then he said: Now it is okay. By the way, I am trying to overcome these problems..You know at the end of the day I feel pain in my tongue as I have to speak at least 4 language daily

My native language is Ukrainian. I think each person have some ’’bad words’’ in his vocabulary))) but it’s very important to distinguish spoken and written language. 

About difficulties in learning written language – it depends on person! All that you’ll need – TRY)))

what、

My native language is chinese and I can not speak english well.But i will try my best to learn it.

colloquialisms are nessesary to speak properly ,so we must listen and listen to learn them , and in order to learn written english we can read several books.

My native languages are Russian and Ukrainian. I speak and write both equally well. As my own  languages are good enough because of my educational level, I can’t see any differences between two styles. Still Russian and Ukrainian are totally different languages in their vocabularies. It’s surprising to know that Ukrainian people living in different regions may not understand each other while talking because of influence of bordering countries: Russia, Belarus, Poland, Moldova, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. In the Ukrainian language there are slang words and expressions  too, but not so many as in American English.

The main thing to do while teaching little children is to speak correctly. My grandchild is only one year old  and none of my family  uses baby talk while speaking to him.

Well, i think that native speakers in general have bad habits in speaking their own language like using abbreviations, colloquialisms, or merge some words and pronounce them quickly so it become unintelligible. But the problem is for foreigners who don’t know that language very well. The real example is me. Sometimes, i cant understand English native speakers even though my English is on high level… I think that it is understandable for non-speakers…

Regarding to my language, it’s easy to write it, because you write words exactly the same as you pronounce it….:) So, start with learning Serbian ;)

hi,.actually i can write well..while speaking am not getting proper english…struggling for words to use while spaeking..can you please help me..do something to improve my spoken english beter

if your mean is a person who dousen’t know about english,firs i was very bad  went to the class to but my english speaking and writing was awful,but now my speaking is really better but i have a little problem with my writing,when i use this web my english is better.

it’s too fast for me to undenstand what they are talking about. After reading the dialog, i see it’s really a interesting topic.

This really happens in my native language. Some people may add an “ur” before any sentence. More interestingly, one of my friends learned the English “you know” and even used it in every sentence when he speaks Chinese as “ni zhi dao ba”.
