Practise a bit, I would say.

Good morning girls,

Kym, you're leaving really soon, how exciting!

I went to the park yesterday and it started raining as well, more drizzling like they say here in the UK.

I've never heard about the expression with the apples, I do like it but I don't think it's British.

Hope you will all have a lovely sunny day!

Thanks Robo, for clearing that up!

Anoniem_69609 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 11:23

Clear explanation Robi, about them apples

I woke up pretty early this morning and my head is still hurting. Today will be a busy day: I have to go to the local government offices for my passport. And a lot of other documents. So a boring job for today.

Well, see you later!

Hmz..I realy thought my explanation came pretty close. At least that's how we used it. Anyway.. I stand corrected (again...)

Kym: Piece of advise: Don't listen to me

Did you get all your paperword done today?

Iris27 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 20:49

Robo thanks for the explaination! Howcome you speak English so well?

if they like you you'll know, if they don't you'll be confused

I would love to practise my English. I can speak, read and understand it very well, but writing is totaly difrent for me. But I'm also bad in writing in Dutch. I want to improve in English writing because I'm getting my masters decree at the end of this year and I think it will be good for me if I improve my English when I'm gonna search for a job.

Hi girls!

Well, I only asked for a new passport at the local government office. It'll be ready in a few days. And then I have to arrange my visa and stuff, but I think I'll ask the organisation where I'm going to work for to do it for me. I think it isn't that easy and they ask for it all the time ofcourse, so problaby thats safer

Besides it I have to get a lot of vaccinations as well, so..pff...really a lot to do in my opinion.

Iris, I think Robo told us she's a English translator and has a foreign man (french). But now I'm not so sure anymore actually.

?

Ehm, advice dus.

Advise = verb

Advice = noun

Deja vu?

Anoniem_61570 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 21:26

vaccinations, brrr. I would do it, but I would be really scared of it. How do you feel about neadles (how do write that stupid word)?

Anoniem_69609 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 21:28

Hi Varuca, well, I don't love needles, but I have to get them. Besides I stick them in other persons as well, so I know how it works

Anoniem_61570 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 21:33

If you stick them in other persons than you can't complain about it, lol.

It is needles, I knew it was one of the two. I always know how to pronounce thinks, but how to wright them is really hard for me. But I'm not dyslactic, I'm just bad in writing and writing rules.

Oops, one time was enougth. My internet got crazy, it get's crazy a lot on the viva forum.

Anoniem_37392 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 21:40

I'm gonna loove your accent, Kym.

And hell, psychiatry in Africa, that will be some experience. Ready for 'african medicine'? And a huge culture clash?

Anoniem_69609 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 21:43

My accent? You already know it's uhm...strange? I think I don't get you.

And yes, I guess I'm ready for Africa. The crazyness and the big experience.

Anoniem_72637 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 21:53

Talking about them apples: this youtube video brings a whole new meaning to the expression!

Anoniem_37392 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 21:54

The african accent is pretty peculiar. In some countries they even have their own version of english. I love the sound of that.

Anoniem_69609 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 22:01

Oh! That's what you mean. Yes, I heard about it: people say because of the accent sometimes the African there are hardly to understand! I'm curious!

Anoniem_37392 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 22:25

You might wanna find out whether there's an african club in your vicinity. In Rotterdam there used to be a club at the Nieuwe binnenweg or roundabout, I'm afraid I have forgotten the name, maybe they know something about it at Cafe Easy. They played african music on Saturday nights.

Sure one way of getting accustomed to pushy African males and certainly the way to practice English.

Anoniem_69609 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 22:30

Hm, great idea, but no, thank you Mamzelle

I really haven't got the time to socialize or get in touch with all kind of strange people.

I have to work this whole month and in the meantime I have to arrange a lot (believe me: really a lot).

I will see enough African the whole next year....

Anoniem_37392 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 22:35

Be sure of that.

I'm off to bed. Good night..

Anoniem_37392 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 22:36

Anyway 'club' is a big word for just a night out dancing.

Anoniem_69609 dinsdag 2 juni 2009 om 22:37

Bye Mamzelle, sleep well!

Anoniem_13786 woensdag 3 juni 2009 om 10:59

Good morning everyone!

Is there still room for me here? I don't need to improve my english that much, but I guess it's fun to participate in an english topic here.

Kym, you're going to South-Africa? When do you leave?
