American, English people...they can take care of their own language.

Even if Mandarin and Japanese do catch up...english won't be easily faded away just like that.

My bigger concern is for my beloved 'bahasa'...

when interview, you must look confident...
it doesn't matter your english fluent or not but you must relax and answer what ever they ask....
some interviewer just what to see our communication....they didn't border to our working experince.... please talk in interview and try ask a question.....

during interview
whether your speak fluently
just relax and try the best to answer all their questions -
interviewers
want to find out your communication skills
bother much about our working experience
try to communicate the best you can
and ask some related questions -

dexa

that good... keep it up...
the important thing here.... don't ashamed to communicate in english....
at least you try your best... right?

that's good
here is
don't be ashamed

to correct some mistakes -

My bigger concern is for my beloved 'bahasa'...

biggest -

Mandarin, japanese, spanish and arabic is catching up...

are


-----------------------------------------------------------

i am not sure how would you propose to discuss about
english language in this thread -

n my humble opinion, to try typing in english solely in this
thread is a great achievement already   -

Actually, my biggest concern is not for 'bahasa'...

That's why i said 'bigger'...but it's not a big deal actually

I expected a lot of traffic here...sadly it's not happening. Something should be done to attract more viewers...

That's why i said 'bigger'...but it's not a big deal actually

if it is not your biggest concern
then u ought to  write : -

my big concern is ......

bigger is a comparative word -
and it must be followed by 'than' to make it
grammatically correct -

if that's not your biggest concern - no worries -

I expected a lot of traffic here...sadly it's not happening. Something should be done to attract more viewers...

we usually have more forum members post in this board
during the weekdays -

so -  hold your horses - let's hope this coming week
we going to have more post  here -

god willing! -

OIC...i dropped the term 'than' because i think it's redundant....

But how about this phrase "always look at the bigger picture"

Should we use 'than'? is this sentence grammatically correct?

dexa

that's in different context  cuz than there
is hidden -

'always look at the bigger picture .. (than)[ the one
we're talking about]


in your earlier post -- u said 'my bigger concern is my beloved bahasa -
and that's incorrect -

if you were saying 'my bigger concern than this situation is my beloved bahasa
then, that's correct -

alas -  your sentence should be ' bahasa is not a big concern for me -'
cuz i have bigger concern than that -    etc  etc etc

I suggest that you load down a composition about any topic, say about 50~ 100 words and post it here so that our English Language forumers can learn about the hidden mistakes of grammer. The compositions submitted shall be from our forumers' own article. We can highlight all the correct grammer sentences as well as pronunciation of words.

dexa

can you explain what did u mean by 'load down' the composition, please?

thanks -

payrol

cool thread...didnt notice this thread exist in the first place....so..what's our main topic here?

Halilintar

Still no hot topic going round....maybe u can suggest some?

de?erci

i do not think we need to have a specific topic; we just go with the flow whoever has something to say just post it and some will reply and talk about that topic,   my two cents.

Just copy any article from any source in English Language and then paste it in this thread.

The sentence is the basic grammatical and thought unit in English. It contains both a subject and a predicate. The subject consists of a noun or noun equivalent and all of its modifiers. The predicate consists of the verb and all of the words related to it, such as objects, complements and modifiers.

rdzaccess

The main elements of the sentence are the subject, verb or linking verb, direct object, indirect object and complement. Not all of these, however, will appear in every sentence. Only the subject and verb are essential.

Travelling in Batu Gajah, the opportunity arose to visit what I thought was an abandoned castle. Covered with witted vines, I saw the crumbling walls. The opening of the thick wooden door made the hinges screech in protest. After I was able of opening the door, a musky odor struck my face coming from inside the castle. Stepping inside, cobwebs and dust covered the walls, ceiling and floor of a long, dark corridor . One small window I saw lighting the hall.

(Any comment to the above composition are most welcome).
Thank you in advance.
