Help me learning English

[Emil N]

Hello. My name is Emil and I live in the north of Sweden. I have been hunting for 25 years and before that I followed my father and grandfather on their huntings. I hunt a lot of birds like black grouse, capercaillie, willow ptarmigan, mallard, hazel grouse, eurasian jay and other birds. I also hunt som wild boar, fellow deer, moose, hare and foxes. I don't own any dogs so I mostly hunt by my self alone. I have a big interest in Swedish manufaktured guns like Husqvarna and Carl Gustaf. I work as a supervisor with forest brushing. I realize that I need to be better on English and particular talking English. Is there anybody out there that would be willing to speak with me 15 minutes or so a couple of times per week? I think it would be helping me with my English a lot. And I'm sure there is a lot of hunting storys that we can share so its will not be just boring. I guess its can be really interesting to hear how I hunt here in the north of Sweden and I really want to learn how you hunt in the Great Britain. I sugest calling on WhatsApp. Send me an PM if this sounds like something you want to do.

Couldn't fault your written, apart from a couple of misplaced letters, if your spoken is anything near your written you are doing just fine.!

To be perfectly honest after reading your written English, I think you could end up teaching English to a fair few on here.

If you’re after expletives, malapropisms and assumptions then you’re in the right place.

Better written English than mine, pretty certain the conversations on hunting and of course other pursuits would be very interesting.

Welcome to the site Emil (I note you 'joined' a decade ago).

Very little wrong, with your written English.

I once tried to help a pair of twins from the Netherlands, with their English.

Not very successful I am afraid - it was all 'double Dutch' to me.







I'll see myself out...

Okay, thanks. I guess I’m not that bad on writing and reading but speaking is a lot harder for me. When you are writing you have a lot more time to spell and find the right words but hearing and speaking you have to be faster. But still I can absolutely have an easy conversation, otherwise this idea to spoke about hunting wouldn’t work out at all.

I had to use google for that

Try using TvMucho on the internet which gives you one hour free of use each day of UK, Irish German & French tv channels to watch. I pay for it 45 Euros per year and for me it is well worth it.

Englands gone down the dunny mate, you would be better off learning Irish at least people will find you interesting

 

[John Gryphon]

I was in Ireland and met a mate of my mate ..described as a poikey...I said I couldnt understand the bloke

My mate said "you wanna go to Galway,not even I can understand those cooonts there"

Once thought I had a fair grasp of the language, albeit the American version. Then in graduate school I worked with an Indian from Calcutta that had been educated in their most prestigious prep school and Uni. His English made me want to stop speaking it was so perfect.

So, welcome and fear not. You are off to quite a good start.
