| Here, we write everything in English.. or almost. If you need some help, just ask and someone will answer you. I'm not very good in English but I'll be really glad to help you. ^_^
You know, English is one of my favourite language. What do you think about this language?
Sorry if I made some mistakes. >_<

| I think that the title of this topic would rather be "And what if we talk.. in English?" | |

Actually, I think you have to write "I love speaking". I used to say "I love to.." but my teacher said that after "love" (also with like, hate or something like that) I must put "ing" (verb). ~ | |

| I confirm what Miyu said about "I love" +ing. For the "what" sentence, it's a colloquial form that is wery usual: and what if we go to the beach? and what if I buy a new dress? I always used to hear and read this kind of sentence, never "and if....", which sounds to me to be typically French (gallicisme, like "it's her who said..." that is totally incorrect in English). I think that it is implicitly "and what would happen if we talk* in English...", like it could be in French "et si on parlait anglais, qu'est-ce que cela ferait ?"
* in an even more litterary style, I think it would better be "and what if we speak in English", or even "discuss". But "talk" does not thus seem to be incorrect to me... and I'm not very certain of the use of "talk/speak" in this precise situation. (I talk to you / I speak French) Something that could resolve the problem would be: "And what if we speak English?". (Or even simpler and, according to a native English-speaking friend, probably the better: "Let's speak English!")
Not that I'd like to seem superior, but I think I can help because I learn English since my "CE1", so I have 11 years of English studies. (Nevertheless, some mistakes may happen!) | |

| Oh thank you very much Daiima to explain me that! ^_^ I'm so happy to learn something new. Thanks a lot! Today, I improve a bit my English. ♪ xD
You began English early! I have other questions to ask. Sorry! ._.
[that is wery usual] Keying error? or do you speak German? ^^
[I think it would better be] Don't we say "it would be better" ? We can change the position?
[ but I think I can help because I learn English since my "CE1" ] Here, don't you have to write "I've been learning English since I'm in year 2" ?
Today, I toke the bus and I met three African American women. One of them pushed my friend and then said "sorryyyy". Poor him. I listened to their conversation (yeah it's not good I know) and I understood a bit their words. ^_^ Yeah I'm happy when there is something about English lol | |

| I'll reply gladly to each of your remarks:
Yes, I began to learn English quite early. But from year 2 to year 4 it was only an initiation (good morning, how are you?, good bye...), and in year 5 the teacher wanted to switch for German. ^^ Then I learned German again since year 8 (second language).
"This is wery usual": that's right, keying (I did not know this word^^) error. "I think it would better be": I think that both are possible. For the "CE1", I didn't know the English equivalent, thank you! | |

| Thank you for your answer. Actually the question was about ""I've been learning English since..." You use "I learn English" so I'd like to know if we can also say it?? Because my teacher said that with "since" we have to use the present perfect. | |

| Yes, I think you're right. The almost only troubles I have are about these kinds of things, with the tenses in combination with some specific words.
Furthermore, I won't learn English any more, I just finished my studies. (Or at least I hope so!) | |

| Oh no, Japanese is very hard to learn. One time, I tried to learn Chinese. Everyone says that this language is very easy to learn. I quickly gave up. Even if I am very fond of discovering and practicing foreign languages. | |

| Bon, j'aimerai avoir votre avis concernant une question qui a été posé lors du BAC d'anglais des S et ES 2010, qui a d'ailleurs troublé beaucoup de monde. Il s'agit de déterminer l'endroit (le pays) où est né le personnage principal, ici Amit. (en justifiant avec une citation du texte~) - Spoiler:
At the restaurant his father pulled out the admissions packet for Langford, showing photographs of the campus, smiling students gathered around classroom tables, teachers standing in front of blackboards, caught midsentence by the camera's lens. Academically it was far superior to the school he'd been attending, his father told him, mentioning the percentage of Langford graduates who went on to Ivy League colleges. Amit realized, as his father spoke, that the position in Delhi had been accepted, their house in Winchester already put up for sale. There was no question of his going to school in Delhi; it wasn't worth the trouble to adjust to education in a different country, his father said, given that eventually Amit would be attending an American college.
From Langford, during Christmas and after each academic year came to an end, Amit went to Delhi to be with his parents, staying in their flat full of servants in Chittaranjan Park, in a barren room set aside for his stays. He never enjoyed his visits to Delhi, his broken Bengali of no use in that city. It made him miss Calcutta, where all his relatives lived, where he was used to going. His parents had moved to Delhi the year of Indira Gandhi's assassination, and the riots that subsequently raged there, the curfews and the constant vigilance with which his parents had to live, meant that Amit remained cooped up inside, without friends, without anything to do. In that sense it was a relief to him to return to this peaceful town. Four years later his parents were back in America, moving to Houston. In Delhi his father had perfected a laser technique to correct astigmatism that earned him invitations to work and teach in hospitals all over the world. After five years in Houston they’d moved yet again, to Lausanne, Switzerland. They lived in Saudi Arabia now.
At Langford, Amit was the only Indian student, and people always assumed that he'd been born and raised in that country and not in Massachusetts. They complimented him on his accent, always telling him how good his English was. He'd arrived when he was fifteen, for sophomore year, which at Langford was called the fourth form, and by that time friendships and alliances among the boys of his class were already in place. At his high school in Winchester he'd been a star student, but suddenly he'd had to work doggedly to maintain his grades. He had to wear a jacket every morning to his classes and call his teachers "masters" and attend chapel on Sundays. Quickly he learned that his parents' wealth was laughable compared to the majority of Langford boys. There was no escape at the end of the day, and though he admitted it to no one, especially not his parents when they called from Delhi every week-end, he was crippled with homesickness, missing his parents to the point where tears often filled his eyes, in those first months, without warning. He sought traces of his parents' faces and voices among the people who surrounded and cared for him, but there was absolutely nothing, no one, at Langford to remind him of them. After that first semester he had slipped as best as he could into this world, swimming competitively, calling boys by their last names, always wearing khakis because jeans were not allowed. He learned to live without his mother and father, as everyone else did, shedding his daily dependence on them even though he was still a boy, and even to enjoy it. Still, he refused to forgive them.

| Ah c'est de là qu'il vient Amit ! J'ai vu plein de groupe sur facebook parlant de lui. Désolé je ne sais pas si je pourrais t'aider je suis en L mais je vais regarder ça ^^ Je pense qu'il doit être né au états unis mais qu'il a la nationalité indienne. :$ j'en sais trop rien - Citation :
- At Langford, Amit was the only Indian student, and people always assumed that he'd been born and raised in that country and not in Massachusetts.
donc ça veut dire qu'il est indien mais qu'il n'est pas né en Inde mais dans le Massachusetts (d'après ce que j'ai compris ^^")
