too late, this was my second last essay the last one a newspaper article handed in the same day, getting marks back on Fri, will inform what happened, but I dont expect exceptional marks, I mean I am killing her in the story
Maybe I should mention, English is my second language, but I'm taking it on a first language level. Why I do not know, we got tons and tons of literature to study(the whole Hamlet and Lord of the flies as well as poems, the best of all, Hamlet counts 30 marks end of the year, as well as LOTF, its ridiculous(SP??)
I'm crazt thats for sure

Anyone who speaks one language but also takes on English as another first language has my respect. It is not an easy language to learn.

Why do you not now what

Well, we start with english in primasry school, and since i've been on the net from last year I do use english a lot, even tho it is not really good english
I dont know why I take english as first lang, great teacher, she is way weird, but its just so much work, much more than 2nd language
Just like I dont know why I bother taking math and science on higher grade, all it does is make me look clever, not good for anything but a lot of studying

I've found people that have english as their second language but learn it
as their first generally have better english skills than people that have english
as their first language.

It's actually better to take english as a second lang because then you learn how it works and how to use it, while in first lang you already have to know it. Unf I only realised that last year and by then it was too late too switch, besides I wouldnt want to change to another eng teacher for anything in this world

I'm taking Arabic!

Taw, are you on a new batch of drugs? Maybe it's just me but your posts and behaviour seem a little different today?

what?

Just give him time, Taw needs time to readjust to his environment.

"Guns don't kill people....I DO!!"

I have no dea what either of you are on about.

How long have you been studying Arabic?

<Edit>

I think, partly, they miss some of your crabbiness.

Yeah! Where's all of that negativity that the posters on TLR have come to know and love?

on and off, several years, but recently I decided to take it up again and make a proper effort. about 3 months. it's jolly hard, but well worth it. wonderful language.

i hadn't noticed I was being any more or less negative than usual? ana hazeen giddan, askourouka cala hayr..
