Hi, this is a personal favor.

As many of you know, i'm not a native english speaker (i studied it for 3 years, 13 years ago) and i want to improve what i know.
So please anytime you notice a mistake on my spelling or grammar or whatever please, if you have the time, let me know.

Thanks

Alex cheers

I've been curious about this for some time now...are you typing in spanish and the board translates...or are you typing in english to the best of your ability?...if its just you doing it then my hat is off to you my friend...I took a year of spanish ages ago in high school, but if I had to type messages in espanol then I would be in deep doggie-doo.

I'm typing directly in english,
but sometimes is hard for me to find the correct words, basically cause even in spanish i don't know much about mechanics and besides that there are some difference between lessons in a school and the "true live" speaking of you.
When you use some kind of slang or even jokes, becomes very hard for me to follow.

Thanks TBat.

English is a very difficult language to learn. I took three years of spanish in high school and found the mechanics of it to make quite a bit more sense than English mechanics. lol Your english is pretty good Alex, I've only really ever noticed tiny things, little mistakes than anyone could make, English speaking or not.

Did you teach yourself or did you take classes? I bet your job requires a bit of English? laugh

Thanks Arc!!
I took classes.

My job at the moment requires just a little bit of english, that's why i try to study watching "LOST" with the SAP mode i mean in english, and posting here every issue with my car, that's been a lot of practice... lol

One thing I have noticed above Alex is you tend to leave out it in some places where it belongs, not a big deal but other than that you type pretty well for someone who doesn't speak English everyday!

I am taking Spanish right now, I am in the second year, and I could not understand anything.

My hat is off to you alex, it is very difficult to learn a second language.

I will correct you whenever i see any problems.

I would correct but when it comes to rules and punctuation I suck. I would be afraid of giving out bad information and looking even dumber then I am.

I think that what he is trying to say is this:

Sometimes you leave out the word "it" when you type.
