Oh,
This time ;)
I won't talk about my dog....
I simply want to talk about everything but in God's subject...
I know there's a lot of Forums...
I just decided to create mine!

Well,
Post are allowed (not vulgar post, or insulting)
But I need to talk about God in daily life but here!
It would be joyful,
and others things that I'll agree.....
Thank you all...

I'll talk to myself but not in my head,
I must write because
I can't keep it all in my brain...

I have a lot of pain since my childhood
because when I was a child,
I wasn't good at all in English!
I have spoken only in French...
And I was invited to Jessica's Birthday!
But Jessica was bilingual!
She had a lot of English friends!
They all rejected me during all the day
just because I wasn't able to speak English!
They laughed at my back,
They bullied me a lot...
And the parents never did nothing to protect me...
That's why I ever had some difficulties
to speak with English people.....
And it wasn't this time,
It happened twice and more and more,
we were to an amusement park with full
of others children and I was alone
and abandoned there
because I was China and because
I didn't know to be good in English....​

Isn't there any English influence where you live? How much do you learn in school?

I mean, in tiny Norway we start learning very basic English in first grade, and once we got older there was music, TV, movies, games etc all in English.

Does your School or Church offer an English Class for those who don't speak English?

If you have a home church, talk to your Youth Minister, Sunday School Teacher, or Pastor, and ask if they could offer a class so you and others could learn English.

Well, in addition to chatting/ forum typing it would be useful for you to find a website with English grammar rules.

I don't know how French works, but I know that some languages turn everything around compared to other ones (like how German puts past tense verbs at the end of the sentence). That way you get both the grammar and the "flow" (from websites like this one)

From what I understand, you feel as if the English speaking people are looking down on you. Making you feel that you are not as good as them, that you don't belong with them, and making you feel bad about yourself?

Maybe try getting new friends that are more like you? Mainly French speaking and wanting to learn English, then you could all learn together.

There is an old saying that goes like this:

We can't choose our family, BUT we CAN choose our friends.

Choose friends who will like and respect you for who you are. Don't hang out with the "cool kids" if they don't want you. They usually aren't all that "cool" anyway.

Yeah,
I ever thought about that!
It's hard to find people like me,
in sense of there's two situations :
-People who are already bilingual
-People who don't care to learn English

It's complicated,
I'll learn here by myself...
Even if there's bad obstacles...

i know how much u want to express, but honest i think u need a basic grammar txtbook or if onlyn where u can get the basic rules. like subject verb agreement. u cn post anf post but if u dont know or have thst u'l keep constructing awkward sentences. try start wd simple short sentences like Cats meow, not Cats meows. See the basic difference. filipinos also oftn laugh at each othr who nt mastered theit engl.but jpanese are so hitech but still admired even if poor in engl. am not saying dont learn ur grammar bec.the more u shud.

I think that I understood this time
what are you trying to tell me...
I think that you're trying to tell me
to take care of my words the way that I write...
It's OK that you want to be honest with me,
I'll try to not take it personally as an insult.

I may be wrong but i feel u write a little fast. When studying english, do u remember being asked to identify parts of speech of a sentence? Like being asked to underline the subject once, predicate twice. Then you also learn abt adjectives that tell which, what kind of and how many (often used in the subject part of the sentence 'the two quick brown' as in 'The two quick brown foxes jumped over the head of the lazy dog yesterday.'
While the adverbs here after the verb 'jumped' often tell how, when and where... that's 'over the head of the lazy dog' 'yesterday.'
Sorry, dont know how to make double underline. And there are simpler sentences of course=). If you have grade school story books, u'l see how simple sentences are for starters. Have u found some drills to work on yet? Am not a TESL (teaching english as 2nd language) teacher but if u can find someone to help u or materials to practice on, dont rush the speaking. Perhaps make short simple sentences first instead of attempting too much info or idea. The content is impt, but u can be more careful as u construct the sentence. Just my idea.
