Don't you think it rather rude and impertinent to suggest that?

Maybe even two senses of humour.

I don't agree with the idea of speaking more than 3 languages, cause the language is not a peace of cake to be learned and completely done by the learner, So it would be a good idea to be perfect in one language while you know a little bit about the others [speaking for instance ] .

And as all of us know that English has became the international Language which most people from all over the world communicate by .

As for me, i am learning English cause i LOVE it so much , and wanna be a teacher.

With Regards

I hope they let you teach "wanna" when you finally become a teacher. Wink [;)] Good luck, FS.

Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".

You may find that it is many of the moderators here that lack that/those sense/s.  Surprise [:O]

I am just trying to speak it my way and express how i feel about,  don't forget that slang is pretty good in breaking the ice from the first place.

As you see i used Love for english, so it is a kind of pun .

Thanks for your strong observation dude Wink [;)]

I agree, but many English teachers may not. Many may say that it depends on the class of people with whom you wish to associate. Wink [;)]

I started learning the language in 2003; without any particular intention; from scratch; alone -- it has been so ever since.
I have developed a liking for it, and by now it has become one of my hobbies.

Thanks, Incho. Do you also study World Englishes as part of your hobby?

Hi

Do you mean if I study various varieties of Englishes?

I do not study any dialects, only the standard language. This is "the common denominator".
