Which country sounds the same like an other country? smile

NZ has got a different "slang" english...they also got maori language...so they are quite mulitlanguage.

I think it wouldn't do any harm to introduce myself as well smile

I'm 19 years old and currently waiting for my "Abitur" results. I like the English language a lot, since I've been to the USA and Canada several times and enjoyed those trips very much. Moreover, I like to help people, so that's probably why I'm here.

I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself yet.

I've found this board because I'm already registered in other boards from web-z. My English isn't the best but my grammar is even worse Augenzwinkern

Well, if you got questions - just ask ^^ don't know exactly what I could tell you smile

Ulli · Ehrenmoderator Anmeldungsdatum: 03.07.2004 Beiträge: 1389

Welcome to this board, Ari smile

Maybe you can tell us about your home town Wilhelmshaven? grübelnd

Ari · Anmeldungsdatum: 30.01.2006 Beiträge: 6 Wohnort: Wilhelmshaven

I can try

Wilhelmshaven is near the north coast. We have approximately 80.000 residents. The last days the weather was okay but usually it rains often.
It is the biggest town for the next 60km. smile

Welcome to you all....

I would really be interested to get to know more about you.

Normally you just read messages such as "Can you help me with this and that" and "I am really bad in English" but what about the personal stuff?!

Where do you all come from and are you still attending school?!

Im in my last year at school and hopefully I have my a-levels in three weeks. Just waiting to get my written results and than in 3 weeks I have got an oral exam in Music.
After that I wanna go to University and study Hydrology.

Right now I live in Berlin and I enjoy the life in the big city.

Jack · Ehrenmoderator Anmeldungsdatum: 09.04.2006 Beiträge: 549

I forgot to mention that I'm from Hannover by the way, which is a very nice city as well in my opinion. As I already said, I'm waiting for my "Abitur" (or a-level if you prefer that; it's still not the same though) results, too, but my oral exam is already over.

Hi dudes

My real name is Hendrik and I come from a city roughly 20 kilometres south of Bremen.
I'm a student of a secondary school and at the moment I'm in class 10.
Furthermore, I am 16 years old and I'm fond of playing volleyball and enjoy meeting friends.
I participate in an exchange to the U.S. this year, and I'll spend my next school year in a school in Texas =)
I haven't had a single able English teacher during the last years so I try to improve my English myself smile

hey and welcome.
I also went for an exchange to the USA. It was about 1 month and it was a lot of fun. I was in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Have fun here and a nice time,
ale

Hi everyone,

I am Mai-Trang (Mai-Tschang) and I'm from Munderkingen, that's a little town near Stuttgart.
I'm 16 years old.
I really like english, but I've never had anyone to speak. So, anyone would like to help me?

I can speak Vietnamese (because I was born in Vietnam), English, German and French. But that's not important. smile

My English is still worse. traurig

So I found this page and now I'm really happy.

Ok, See you

Hi maya02

Practice makes perfekt so don't be despaired if your English is not excellent at the moment. I have got many classmates that are 16 too and who have great problems with English. Reading English books and watching English films is a first step to improve your English. Moreover, you have to learn vocabularies and grammar, of course.
This is a very good page that deals with English grammar

Hi D4redevil

I know this, thanks for the page. smile

I watch films aswell and I read book, but I must learn how to communicate with people and how to talk with them.
Practice is hard.

Regards

I think it also depends wheter you develop a feeling for the language or not.
If you have a feeling for language, you don't have to consider consciously every word or sentence you write. You can just kind of "hear" if the word order, etc. is correct or not. Augenzwinkern

maya02

Yes, that's right, englisch is a easy language but I also must know how to use it right.

Hello my name is John and I am 15 years old. I will be in class 11 after the summer holidays. I live in Heilbronn (BW) but I originally come from Birmingham. I learn German,English,French and Latin at school but I can also speak Spanish and Vietnamese. I'm here to improve my english skills.

I don't know what to say any more so that's it for now.

Hi, John, hey that's cool! Can you speak Vietnamese, too?

In an attempt to revive this thread:

Hi, I'm sqrt(2). (You'd never have guessed that, would you?) You probably know me from Matheboard, where I am a moderator. People say that I speak English quite well, but I for myself feel that I need more practice, which essentially is the reason why I am here. As I figured out that the best way for me to extend my active vocabulary and reduce my grammar errors is thinking thouroughly about individual sentences, I'm trying to help you by correcting your texts and explaining the mistakes you have made (don't feel addressed, if you don't need that help Augenzwinkern

).

If you've expected to get something about me as a person and not about my motivation to be here, there you go: I'm currently a physics student at the University of Vienna (although I'm tinkering with the idea of starting to study mathematics parallely and see which suits me better) and am interested in computer science (besides physics and mathematics, of course), guitar music (that is, playing the guitar) and discussing interesting topics with my friends (drinking beer).

Hope, I won't annoy you too much.

Does that mean that you can help me solve Sturm-Lioville problems in English Big Laugh

No, seriously, good idea getting this thread back on the frontpage...

Hey, I was just joking. Hopefully I won't need any help and I certainly don't expect you to understand all the mathematical lingo ...
But I thought I'd mention something odd to pique your curiosity. I guess you are going to do these equations at some later point in your degree ( ? )

So long,
Alex

Hmmm, I seem to remember that the SE can be solved (for the harmonic potential) using series solution & some cunning substitutions of the sort z=exp(-x^2) but I digress...
SL theory can also be used to construct series representations of general functions (a bit like a Fourier series, but more general) though I must say I haven't seen that much application of this particular feature yet.

Also, I am not sure what you mean by the correct term being education - please be aware that it's hard to tell sarcasm over the 'net.

I hope you excuse my interference here, as I cannot contribute to your conversation (a poor 18-year-old secondary school student as I am is not yet able to understand it Augenzwinkern

- but I will hopefully be able to understand it some years from now).

However I have two remarks:
1. This is rather "Off-Topic", so probably you would like me to split the topic? However, I would be the last to suppress such interesting conversations, so I believe the conversation should only be encouraged.

2. My second remark goes into this direction: Why not use

to better visualize your ideas? Thomas was so nice to implement that into the board software some time last year.
You can use it like the Matheboard-Latex, so that
