Going to be a multilingual
Hi everybody :)
Greetings introductory, My name is Ilham and I'm from Indonesia. I'm here to improve my english on the other one too despite of I myself already having a pretty good skills in the language. but I want to be fluently when speaking up
inasmuch this long time I would rather more since so far I have focused on writing more than speaking.
btw I can speak 6 languages, include including my vernacular, namely such as:
Indonesian (of course), Sundanese (this is my area's language/vernacular), and then English, French, but either for and finally Spanish or and German, of which I can only speak only a little. I need the time to be can become fluently until enough to speak quickly when communicationing with a foreigner, because I want to be a multilingual :)
I often used to be often speak up in english, either with my friends or teacher untill I garrulous was long-winded.** :D but now everything has changed and I feel hesitate hesitant to reveal what I'm going to say. so therefore Therefore, lately I prefer to choose silence rather than speak up than active as thenceforwarded hitherto.*** and Also, I sometimes I speak english with another the accent of other languages till a person who's around me doesn't understand what I am saying. maybe I need to practice to adapt that match an each atmosphere itself my speech to my surroundings. This is especially the case because I'm learning French, so my accent is tends to be a French one. with french accent. every When I find the similiar french loanwords in english, so I read them with french pronounce pronunciation. nevertheless, I'm still myself proud about it that. I've read about The History of Great Britain and France and about how when english were adopted many french words pretty much. I love history. Some argues that if we'll learn a language, we also have to learn about the country's culture in the country. what do you think ?
would you like to give me an advice, please? thanks...
*Hi, mulitlingual is correct as an adjective ("He is a multilingual lawyer" "I am multilingual" etc) but not as a noun. The noun for someone who speaks multiple languages is "Polyglot".
**I had to look up garrulous, I don't think it's a common word, at least here in Canada. maybe it's used more in the UK or something. here we say "long-winded" for someone who talks too much :)
*** Hehe, I think you are using dictionary words too much, at least for me it makes the sentence too formal and difficult to understand :)
-->Good composition! I also find french and latin words borrowed into english pretty interesting. I took an introductory linguistics course on that exact topic last year which made me understand the process of latin words in english a lot better, and how latin evolved into french words... By the way, I think you need to work a bit on conjugating verb tenses--not easy coming from Indonesian, I'm sure :)- - and make sure to separate when you are meaning to use a the verb, adjective or adverb form of something.
