In reply to by the way, your English is superb!!! » R.-T. V. , 52y, posted by Kath on February 25, 2008, at 16:50:58
thanks Kath,
well, superb would perhaps not be the best possible adjective in my case, :)
i'm 52 and studied a.o.t. english on the finnish school system from the age of 10,
i've got degree B in the 80s in one university and M in the 00s in another, the main subjects not being english but of course including language studying,
and foremost reading and reading ... thick and heavy books written in english by american, english, german etc. professors .... :)
plus: of course our TV is crowded with programmmes in american or english, with finnish texts,
(btw that is in my opinion one of the reasons behind our pupils' success in certain international tests and comparisons)
i've got a lot of problems, but at least this is a good practice,
so if there sometimes happens to be a totally "wrong" word amid my text,
pls put at least 50% of the mistake on the account of my laziness (to use dictionaries)...
:)
yours chris
