Don't get down about it. English isn't your first language, as such your doing very well and your posts are understandable for what your trying to say. Sometimes however, non native english speakers (hell even native english speakers), will say something that you can't help laughing at. Its not meant to be mean. If we were speaking mandarin, or Cantonese, and made a similar mistake I think you might have a bit of fun at our expense as well.

If you are english speaking and can learn chinese there are a TON of job opportunities. I mean you would still need to be part of some field, but even without there are always companies looking for English/Chinese speaking people.

I find in a lot of foreign communities people tend to apologize for bad English (or, for that matter, think their English is bad) when they type or speak English on a level not too far off from the native speakers in the community. Your English is fine considering you've had to learn it as a second language, and will surely improve. I haven't been around too long, but I've never had any issue understanding any of what you type, so don't worry about it too much

Psht. I can't even speak Cantonese or Mandarin, so your English is 100x better than my Chinese! People will laugh if you say something odd because it's funny, but don't let it get you down. I think you're doing just fine.

:D

Xiao, I love you.

Your English is good, you just phrase things in ways a native speaker wouldn't, like describing our man to man love of Reach like a soft erection. It is the cutest thing.

Well yeah - your errors are noticeable. But they are easier on the eyes, compared "native" posts that are full of run-on-sentences. In a positive way, you let us read something uncommon (entertainment).

Congrats on your firebat!!! And don't worry about the bad english part, this is a community that has a common interest (Starcraft) regardless of where one is from. So you're definitely always welcome here and your english is actually good compared to what I've seen personally in real life and over the internet. In fact, I can easily name a friend of mine who's worse than you and he lived in US all his life.....

Anyway, have confidence and don't worry, this is suppose to be a fun cool hip chill place to be at! Enjoy!~

Your English is good! But nice that you are aiming to be even better!

Normally I think people make too big a deal about having good English, but being able to communicate over the internet is definitely one of the best advantages (outside of jobs).

Just dont stress too much about it or feel bad about yourself. I've seen a lot of immigrants here develop close to an inferiority complex due to this.
