I have a problem again.

My teenage years were spent at the city in a community [which had people from all sections of the society]

different religions

different race

The main issue I have right now is the annoying word limit.

That doesn't sound like a problem

other than just being a teenager often has complications of its own

@Mitch It certainly feels rural. Not that I've been there, mind you, but I know it's small and one of my best friends and my cousin both live there and it certainly sounds rural by their descriptions.

It is on top of a hill

Does "sections of society" include different religions, race, etc?

@snailplane Semper ubi sub ubi.

imo it is more like

doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc

@terdon There's in town in Cambridge and there's outside of town. And there's all the housing developments in between on the quickly reclaimed farmland

@Mitch I'm sure, but this does look rural to me:

goo.gl/images/BpdRJe

grrr

@YashasSamaga sure. for religion/race. doctor/lawyer/engineer are probably considered in the same 'section' (professional class)

That's Cambridge.

That does not look rural at all to me.

@Mitch Huh, OK. Certainly does to me. Then again, I grew up here:

all buildings separated by (most likely) undevelopable land

@terdon sure that is urban.

urban and rural are opposites, but !urban != rural.

there's lots in between

How do I say that I have bits from many cultures

5 words remaining

you're limited by # of words?

yes

mixed cultures

My teenage years were spent in the city in a community which had people from all sections of the society.

must come after that sentence

or within that sentence

in one word, hetero...cultural

Hello everyone !

hi KernelByte

@YashasSamaga all sections is pretty good by itself

Well, that statement just says that I grew up in such a place

I'd like to explicitly mention that the culture I follow is an amalgamation of many

Yashas hello, how are you today ? well, tell me about you more, i want to know where are you from, and want to know you understand me ? or i need to more study english ?

I am fine. ty. Working on college apps today. I am from India.

obsessed with physics and loves to experiment with the nature

Wow ! India ! that cool ! I will want to go in India ! but i dont know then..

My budget for the moment not stable, for going to India.. but if i have a change i go !

I did not get what you meant by "but i dont know then.."

@YashasSamaga "had people from all sections of the society." explicitly mentions that the culture you follow is an amalgamation of many.

Well, carry spare hearts if you are coming to India. You might need some. :P

i dont know (if i go to india i feature or not )

India is crazy

Yeah ! India have many people on the streets ! :) i see it in youtube ! Many scooter etc.. Elephants ! :)

very different !

We haves cows and bulls roaming the streets. :D

yeahh i see it ! :) so funny :)

Heavy traffic at 4AM

so much that we sometimes face traffic jams at 4AM

wow...

You must google "Trains in India"

i give one cow from me in my country ! :D like a gift ! :D

We have Churches, Mosques and Temples adjacent to each other.

Churches exchange sweets with the Temples on special occasions.

They even fund each other sometimes. :P

Yeah ! Trains is important ! with trains i can go anywhere in india.. but i need to learn more English.. for the moment my level is basic.. but.. i study :)

The food is either very spicy or very sweet.

Mosques - this is fly killer ?

Mosque is a place of worship for Muslims

ah.. i thinked mouscites

Churches are for Christians :: Mosques are for Muslims

You mean mosquitos?

yesss

:)

wow u understand me i like it !!!

They endanger other species because of their high population here.

:P

before i am not talking with nobody in inglish .. only a little with a support :)

We have our own variation of English in India.

In fact, we have many.

Kanglish

Hinglish

omg other species... ok slogan for india : Welcome to india end die.

:D

Tinglish

That slogan gave me goosebumps lol

Our English accent is very melodious.

yes ? :) i dont know what accent i have :) but i want speak and write a hight level, and not basic.. :) how now.

In India many people know english !

What can't i tell for my country

@YashasSamaga What is Kanglish? Kannada and English?

Mitch hello

hey

hey :) where you from Mitch ?

you can learn me english ? :) will be my english teacher :)

@KernelByte I think you might be looking for our sister site, English Language Learners

haha, that's a lot of work in general.

They are better teachers than we are.

@terdon I think he just wants conversation.

We can do that here but we won't be trying to fix your mistakes at least not much.

I wonder if ELL chat also helps out with conversation?

@Mitch I know. Which is why I thought the ELL chatroom might be better since there's a higher concentration of people with experience teaching ENglish.

Or so I assume.

but yes, ELL tends to be better at teaching.

I know exactly the problem KernelByte is having, finding a good chatroom for getting better at a language.

I have no idea.

@KernelByte "Can you teach me English?", "Will you be my English teacher?"

I was born in southern India to a religious middle-class family. However, I instead consider myself to be a multi-cultured atheist with a high moral background.

does that sound right?

Okay Mitch thanks for the answer. I go here every day and talking with us, that i can learn more. :) Now i am read a book for the kids, in English :)

1 hour per day

I come here

and talk with you

so that I can learn more

Now I am reading

there shouldn't be a coma after kids

Thank Yashas ! you fix my mistakes ? :)

you are fix

okay friends now i need to go ! See you soon ! Byeee :)

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword in answer: A word describes the person who tends to stereotype people by yeah baby on english.stackexchange.com

Today I've been feeling like I have forgotten everything English I've learned. Wiped clean.

Just listened to some poetry in my first language and studies a couple other languages .. and the English part is completely dormant.

What?

I can't understand what you're saying.

What language is this?

Say the X language. When I do X for a while my mind keeps mixing up its grammar and vocab with Y's, coming up with X's words when I return to thinking in Y.

Sometimes learning X feels like unlearning Y.

And I end up estranged from Y for a while, till everything gradually gets back to normal.

Especially speaking. If I speak Arabic for an hour there's no way I can immediately switch to accentless English.

But I should be asleep now. Good night.
