1. I hope this thread isn't violating any of Diskusjon.no's rules.

Shouldn't think so. Dag Erik was encouraged to create such a thread when he requested a separate forum for writing English.

There's a grammar mistake in the topic's title. "General discussion in English" is more correct.

Perfect! I think you're right about that. I will correct it at once. :!:

[Skarstard]

So this is supposed to be just like "Siste Ordet", only in English?

First question: When and where and how did you use your skills in english last time? For me it was

1. A couple of days ago, chatting with an american friend of mine at MSN. 2. Before that. I had to speak english with an French customer at work. Mainy because no one else dared to try but me. (Lucily he turned out to be a big spender, so it was worth the effort )

I have friends in Canada, Usa, South-Africa and Brazil so I speak English with them on a daily basis. My written English is poor, because I hardly ever write English.

[Furyfax]

Well I'm half English, so I usually speak English with my dad. But I'm not used to write English so much, so I need all the practice I can get!

I write English daily, mostly in the computer game World of Warcraft, where communication is everything.

Well. This thread will hopefully be very interesting. I am often writing in english forums, with some grammar errors...

[henrik_s]

I own at English.

[RastaXP]

Yes, i do agree. Check your understanding

[yuo are smart]

Nice initiative. I like the idea.

 

As for the question: Last time i talked english was probably in my english class on friday. After i quit WoW i havent been talking as much english as i used to.

That would be during a written test (tentamen) we had yesterday. It blowed, not being able to use a computer. You see, my handwriting is horrid.

Heh, I'm pretty sure that WoW ( and other videogames aswell ) has helped me to develope better English skills.

Hehe, i have the same problem. My handwriting is unreadable for anyone but me.

Guess i've learned it the same way. Whenever i see/hear a word i don't know, i check it at tritrans.com or urbandictionary

[Nevnarion]

This could very well become a pretty interesting topic. I agree with those who say they learn alot of their english from videogames, for instance. I've learned much in school, not doubt about it, but still I'm absolutely serious when I say that games have had some influence.

In english class at school, I often experience problems when my teacher tells me a word in english and asks me to tell what it is in norwegian, or the other way around...because I don't always know the norwegian word for it, though I know what the english word means. Anyone else had that problem?

I guess this is because...when I read english, I don't translate it to norwegian in my head and then understands it.

Yeah, but consider this. When I write english in games like cs, i use many word that are not actually words like "u" and so on...
