    It is. It's because we had many of such topics in other subforums.
    Я не понял что ты этим хотел сказать. Что тут должны писать люди только из Англии или что?

    My defected R is often unnoticeable but I say it softer than other.
    Say you sound like:
    Robert Roy McGreggor grew up in a rocky crags.
    now me:
    Robert Roy McGreggor grew up in a rocky crags.

    I said the word grew correct. I can say green correct, but the word correct will sound incorrect.
    Thus my Russian ре ри ря рю are pronounced clearly, but рэ ра ро ры ру and just p are my poor letters

    And it's the same with Л
    When Л is 'soft' like in Russian ли лю ле ля I speak it pretty good!
    But in such words like ходил it sound a bit like ходиу.

    That's it
    I see, thank you for explaining.

    By the way, you can just say 'here goes'.
    Please correct any Russian language mistakes I make.

    ходиу is roughly how a Ukrainian ходив is pronounced (part. in the West of country).

    Для тех, у кого английский язык второй, а не иностранный.
    А у тебя он что - второй?
    И почему тут не могут писать другие люди интересно? лол

    "Второй язык" у меня сразу ассоциируется со студентами лигвистических вузов, которые выбирают себе первый иностранный, позже - второй...

    Поэтому я сказала бы "Если английский для вас - иностранный..."

    Для меня английский уже не первый и не второй. А родной... сама никак не определюсь

    Блин, не тупите.
    English as a foreign language - английский для всех нас с вами.
    English as a second langauge - английский для тех, кто живёт в англоговорящей стране, но английский для них неродной.

    Второй язык, это, по-моему, говорится о тех кто от рождения говорит на 2 языках.. Например у моего племянника мать русская, отец финн. Ну вот в зависимости от того где он будет жить , в Москве или в Финляндии, тот язык будет его первым языком, а другой вторым

    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    My mother tongue is Portuguese!!!!! Brazilian Portuguese, to be more specific.

    Someone asked if Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan can understand each other. I'd say not perfectly, but they probably would get by as well. Portuguese and Spanish are very different when speaking, and there's an interesting fact: Brazilian Portuguese is closer to Latin Spanish, and Portuguese spoken in Portugal is closer to the one spoken in Spain. Remember they are not the same language.

    I never heard/read Catalan, but I think it is far away from Portuguese. Though, there's a language called Galician that is very very close to Portuguese, more than to Spanish, in speaking and writing. Portuguese and Galician can understand each other almost perfectly, I guess.

    But let's check up one thing. Please, hispanohablantes, see if you understand what I say (it's Portuguese, by the way):
    "Итак, кто во Христе, [тот] новая тварь: древнее прошло, теперь все новое".

    That's really cool! As your mother tongue is English and you speak Spanish (I guess), you can be proud of yourself!!! What do you think about my mother tongue? Did you like it?

    Americanized English

    New England accent that ranges from "Back Bay Boston" (think of Thurston Howell III) to the Lobstah man, fishah man, beeah drinkah that I am. Not the cartoon voice of John F./ Robert/ Teddy Kennedy. I usually speak with a "Middle American" accent, think of how a newscaster speaks.

    Bourbon or Southern Comfort with beer will allow me to say "y'all" from my few years in the rebel yell Confederate States.
    I'm easily amused late at night...
