You're right... I have to admit that I have a big difficulty with my sentences...like putting the word in the right order or put somes "," in the middle of my sentences. I think it can be hard to understand what I write sometimes...And no, I dont feel personnaly attacked about what you write ;-)
Google translator is not very good, even if you search for one word or a complete sentence. Most of the time, the result dont make any sens. Some words stay in "French" and others don't... that's why it's write in big letters in the left corner of the website that it's Google Traduction BETA...lol I think it's a Beta version since forever...hahaha
Anyway, that's easy to forget a language you study at school if you dont pratice it in your daily life. I explain that point more clearly under...
I lived with only speaking english rommattes for 3 years and I had to learn fast my english. I was put in a context where I have to learn the english and speak it also, but in a faster way... I had no choice... Yes, my english level improve a lot in that 3 years period of time.
I move back into my native small city, where only 1 % of the population speak in english. That's all in french here... and I realize that after a couple of months, my english level decrease a lot. In fact, a lot of things I learn, like my verb tense or grammars tips are now completly forgotten...
Too bad... but it's like this. Some people can learn a lot of other languages with no problems at all, and other like me have to pratice a lot and need more times...
That's hard for me also to understand all the post here. Some people, who speak in english, don't take the time to write their message very well. That can be hard to follow for me... The same apply for French speaking people, they tend to use a very bad french writing... they use a lot of slang...
Well that's it...lol
I hope that what I write is comprehensive...
Bye!
Vincent ;-)
