I actively look at the dictionary to add new words to my vocabulary and Arsenal, if you will. And even for me, who does this on my own time, English is still very hard to grasp and learn. In my opinion, the irony in all of this is that we have American born citizens who have English as their first language, who struggle with English both speaking and writing it

As a follow up to this, I would like to say that English is my first language. I simply created this well, to acknowledge, even for someone like myself who has taken English as an interest of mine, English is still very hard to learn, professor 42 out

So I will never let myself discourage because an American people or someone who speaks English as the first language told me that tell me that my language is pure and I have to stop practicing. I would never stop for those kind of critics because I know if I want something in life, I can achieve it by making effort, by working on what is not good. Because if I have critics, it probably means there's something that I should try to own, like pronunciation or writing

You have people from different parts of the world who may pronounce things differently. I'll give some examples here. Some people say water, New York. Some people may say water. And other people may say WADA wawa. There's tomato. Tomato. There is caramel. Caramel. There are so many things that are complicated about English. And like I said, I have a lot of respect for people who have language, who have English as a second language

I wasn't able to perform as I should, and as a result of my incapacity, I lost the opportunity. And I'm still in the process of finding all the opportunities or the jobs out there. But I wouldn't go with the same attitude toward my achievements. Which is why I replied and expect an answer. And then advice eventually from you. And if you would like to add any comments about my language structure, please feel free, I'm totally open for that

I've talked to a lot of people that speak English as a second language. They also speak other languages like yourself. They may be bilingual, and by far, they've always said that English is the hardest language to learn. We have so many words that sound alike but can mean a different thing, like curse and curse. Like, as you're cursing, I'm saying bad words, or you have a curse on you. It's almost like a hex

Hello professor 42, it's great swim from you and I'm thankful for your reply. You did it straight away, so I didn't expect that. So thank you. And what you stated. I also thought about it regarding the suitable aspect of that job because it requires me to be more in the language. Let's say in terms of experience, I haven't had enough experience in working an environment that requires to speak in the chandi. So I think that play a part and my loss
