You use it "IN IRL"? What you wanted to say is this: you often use it IRL. Probably.

Probably there's a link for a little mistake? ...in your post, probably. Thanks for correction. But the question's still living... :Ð

I don't think what you thought to be a correct expression ("question's still living") is a real one.
About your other Q: I don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about.

Avoid using "I must" or "I have to". They're suggesting a victim position.
Use simply "I do that" or "I don't do that". They suggest that you intend to do those things for your purpose.

Although I've never heard this, I try to follow your advice.

But.
If I write "I do see those exotic birds" it could easily be ambiguous. (do instead of must/have to)
1) Látnom kell azokat az egzotikus madarakat.
2) Igenis látom azokat az egzotikus madarakat.

Am I right?

I don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about. 

You can use "I'm clueless" to substitute "I don't have an idea".

Then people with spanish knowledge will reply. That looks like a possible case, don't you think?
(btw: "... if someone creates a spanish topic ...")

The context defines the true meaning of the sentence.
"ambiguous" - I've never heard this word before.

Avoiding the victim position is not really english grammar, rather psychology.

True, but what's your point?  Or is it just for the sheer information of it?

"ambiguous" - I've never heard this word before.

It's a common word regardless. It's even in an SQL error message.
But my favourite word is still this: ambivalence. Why mention it now you ask? No idea. Just free association I guess.

Then a spanish topic will be created.

I actually think that the english topic is for people who have at least a basic knowledge of the language which they can improve. The idea of spanish topic is good, but its only useful for those who already speak some spanish. I dont speak any, except for things like "hola" and similar words. From a topic like that, i cannot learn, since i wont understand.
A german topic would be probalby more useful as many ppl have here the german as a 2nd foreign language, and usually there is room for improvement.

I don't agree with ya. There's a thing called dictionary and there're resources avaible much more than that. Online learning tutorials, free audio samples, etc. If someone is willing to help in that topic with suggesting such resources, with a little helping intention and effort, then it's well possible that you can learn something new to your advantage.
You can't learn something only if you don't try. You can even learn flying. There's an art, or rather a knack of flying. Just look it up in the Hitchhiker's Guide.

Of course, you are right that initiative is necessary. What i meant was that its hard to make someone understand the differences of the Future tenses and slangs when the person doesnt know what to say when he/she is thirsty. Same applies to other languages.

And what about opening a Sigmund Freud topic? 


Tell me about your relationship with your father.

Hi,

This is a good Idea. I must improve my english, because I will have an exam (IH) in December.
Now days I m very bad in English because I often change with german.

Suprisingly, i hate it too. I reeaally hate it. But it seems to be more understandable now as it was some months ago. Maybe (alhtough i still hate it) my knowledge is slowly improving.
