Do you think they had electricity when they have been written ..."The Notre Dame" ?
Well, I was used to read books using my candlelights lit on, but I quit reading during the nights without that blessing and, according to the quick means I´m using lately to learn, my computers need that particular power and, essentialy the blessing of internet.

So then you may help to the others - like me, whose native language is not English :)

I only would do that just for you (if you don´t mind my low profile, and reluctant help)

Perhaps. I am certainly willing to help... but I know nothing of Bulgarian.

When my poor, sick computer finally comes home from the Electronics Shop (It has been there for10 days, and I am laborously typing on my Kindle E-reader right now.), I will be available to try to help. At this time, it would be too difficult for both of us.
According to the poor English grammar I have heard, there is NO need to say: "Help to me" or "help to the others" (as it was typed by BS)

If that sentence has its syntax correct, let it be known: "I´m always wrong".

:)

I would like to know.... English perfectly :D and to have American accent.
Also I thought about sign language..
Which of these two is "perfect" British or American English? (I skipped mentioning the ones used in Africa, and in several islands)

Okay..I have what is called a SOUTHERN accent, full of slang, and plenty of twangy drawl. Only in America, right? I am not sure. Do other countries have "ACCENTS"? Is there such a thing as an oriental, German, or Russian SOUTHERN accent, for example? Can you tell a city Bulgarian street talker from a mountain Bulgarian resident? Do all Argentinians speak in the same vernacular, or do they have various accents? Is this only in the U.S.A, based on our personal history? SO curious....Nobody has ever been able to answer me.
Hi!

May I say something about the Argentinian Spanish?

Not everyone is vernacular, as you probably know. City people tend to be less vernacular, particularly for their involvement in economic activities... Same tendencies apply for most of the Spanish I have heard.

For example, when a spaniard sings, his/her voice tends to be less vernacular than when they talk, normally. Argentinians, when they sing "pop" music, their accent is less vernacular (unless they´re singing the music they play and sing in the country side).

Colombians, when they sing their Vallenato or cumbia (vernacular and folklorical) they let you know "who" they are or where they are from. When they sing, pop or modern music, their accent changes, in a way you need good ears (and Spanish culture or that background) to guess who these are.

El esperanto no me parece que haya tenido muchos logros, pese a que la idea siempre fue buena...
Si...el problema es que esperanto se quedo en las arenas del tiempo.

¡Bueno! Igual pasa con las lenguas "muertas" y pocos son los que, todavía hoy, desean aprender griego, latin, etc.

The only thing I learned in Russian was a bad word I won´t repeat... It was when I was in primary school... ;)

Well! If the communism does not reach me "there" with its general shortage of things, I could be trained to live like another snow man but, Europe could be quickly nuked...

Maybe I need to be totally abandoned to the idea that I need no more hidding, but something new (and special).

Whenever He gives me the money, I´d know He is talking to me.

Probably a revival is over there... Good to know that!
I have no idea - I am alone but not lonely and do not know if your banner here is more real than my internal belonging of them. /skip the third lesson of English please - jump on the fourth directly/

Well!

I don´t know if I´m hooked on the song I´m now listening to ("I wish you were mine") or that I´m following my heart (and not my mind) BUT, with ppl like you, I seldom count numbers too much and, if I ever see I can help you, I´d would do it not to get your attention or any "like", because I lack nothing like that.

The banner?

I used to think I belonged to this:


But it took me some time to know I belonged to none, except the ones I chose.
