Damkerng T.
Hi, again. :-)
hellodear2
hellodear2
uff... that guy is damn irritating.
Phew!! I am relaxed now.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
I think he's been around with us for about a month already.
hellodear2
hellodear2
Really?
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
It seems so, I think.
Maybe a little longer. I think he changed his username.
hellodear2
hellodear2
18:26
he told me that damkerng can't do anything.
you have to improve yourself
It hurt me a lot.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Oh, I don't really mind that much.
I think he was just trying to get banned. :-)
hellodear2
hellodear2
See, I stammer while I speak English,
I will kill him if he will irritate me that much.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Hehe.
hellodear2
hellodear2
He lives 20 kms from my home.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
That's quite near!
hellodear2
hellodear2
18:28
yes
When I speak, I stammer
only in English.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Not in Hindi, I think.
Ah, yes.
So, don't worry too much. Just be yourself.
hellodear2
hellodear2
not at all in Hindi.
I am a singer. :p
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Yes, you sure are!
hellodear2
hellodear2
you know. I speak, sing well in Hindi.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
I think you'll be fine in English too.
You don't need to speak too fast in English.
Take your time, and be calm, and it should work.
hellodear2

18:32
how did you guess I speak too fast in English?
You are damn right!!
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
Because you don't have any problems in Hindi, so I guess that should be the reason.
hellodear2
hellodear2
exactly.
I tend to speak skip articles
while speaking English.
I start next word
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
That is quite a big problem for almost all non-native speakers.
hellodear2
hellodear2
without ending the current one.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
As far as I can tell, it's because we learned too early.
hellodear2
hellodear2
18:35
means?
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
If we spent more time on speaking when we started, we should have less problems.
hellodear2
hellodear2
hmmm....
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
I believe that almost every problem for non-native speakers can be traced back to only a few things.
And speaking-listening is one of them.
(I really like to emphasize more on listening; and I think you already know that.)
Speaking is really secondary, imo.
hellodear2
hellodear2
hmmm
I can't understand american accent
I can understand anything in English accent.
I mean Indian.
Damkerng T.
Damkerng T.
That's one of the big problem.
Ah, I almost tried to challenge you a little with another English accent.
I think you must have heard about the RP accent.
Which I think is what Indian accent is based on.
hellodear2

I read lots of newspaper.
I try to speak in English with everyone.
