Need A Help!! Need Help!!

I'm twenty years old. I work with with a guy from abroad who doesn't know swahili.
the problem comes when i want to explain myself, or something.It happened to be is very difficult for me

 

I know it's always very difficult for English learners to know when to put in the articles "a," "an," and "the." In this example, the reason it should be "help" rather than "a help" is that we don't have 1 help, 2 helps, 3 helps, etc. Help isn't something you count, it's more like water. In Swahili, you wouldn't say "maji matatu." "Maji" is something you would refer to as "kiasi gani," not "mangapi."

 

"Happen to be" is a phrase that we only use when something happens for no particular reason, just randomly. "It happens to be raining." "When I got to his house, I happened to be hungry." (I wasn't hungry <em>because</em> I was at his house.)

"Self-confident" isn't good usage. The word to use would be simply "confident." Comparing "confident" with "self-assured" (used as adjectives, not in a phrase like "confident that..."), the difference, if any, is very subtle. To me, "self-assured" has more of a connotation of confidence in a social context, whereas "confident" would be more general. He was a confident public speaker. He was a self-assured public speaker. He was a confident skier. Not: He was a self-assured skier. (You could say this, but it wouldn't sound natural.)

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

My English is poor and I want to improve my English .Thank you!

 

Your English doesn't seem poor to me :-) You seem to be able to express simple ideas correctly. For your next notebook entry, how about writing something longer and more complex?

I was able to understand the meanings of both sentences, and I think both are correct. But neither seems very idiomatic to me. To express these two meanings, I would say: He has announced that he is going away. OR He has let people know that he is going away. He has made it clear that he is going away. OR He has stated specifically that he is going away. An idiomatic example of the use of "set out" might be: I talked to my employee and set out the conditions under which he could keep from being fired.
