- Can someone give advises to my self introduction?
Hi, guys. As a foreigner, I'm not very fluent in English writing, especially in the CV part. And asking someone to review my short self introduction requireslots of money. Also, I want to consult more precious advices from expereinced software programmers like you. So please advise me how to refine the self introduction part. Self intro: Hi, I’m Lucas. After getting my master degree from NCU(ranking 501 from CWUR in 2019), I went to design Android app and web for a WiFi music box. After providing the convenient interfaces and rich media functions like online radio and local music, our products became more attractive to the customers and this increased the chip sales in the market. After that, I joined in a web design team and my main role is to create new services. I developed a web interface to operate on the surveillance devices and manage the user permissions. I also added a log function to track users' behaviour. This working experience helps me a lot in the web deve

Hi Lucas! I sent you a message with some corrections, I hope it'll help you to get the job you're applying for. :) (I also attached a PDF file with the corrections, so you can see what was changed)
- For students: Does anyone know why nouns are considered in the third person?
It is widely taught that person only affects pronouns, but this is not true. It also affects nouns too. Can anyone explain why?
- She drugged the wine with an herb/ a herb … Which form is correct? Explain why?
British vs American English
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Actually, the vowels (aeiou) have little to do with the indefinite article a or an. It is the vowel sound that counts. Take the example of: university and umbrella. Although both words start with a vowel, we say a university but an umbrella. Similarly, we say an egg but a European girl! Herb in American English is pronounced /3:(r)b/ while in British English it is pronounce /h3:b/. Therefore, in American English, it is an herb because the letter h is silent, while in British English it’s a herb because the letter h is not silent. So the rule is: an + a vowel sound and not an + a vowel!

- We say: ‘Long live the king!’ Why can’t we say ‘Long lives the king!’
The present subjunctive
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Yes. The present subjunctive. What we are saying here is "long may the king live" or "Let the king live long". Something like "Dear God, let the king live long". A wish.

* First of all keep this in your mind that learning a language is a fun, this will help you to overcome your fears. * Second if you have a vocabulary and you know few grammar rules than start thinking in English. *Third when you do mistake while speaking and someone laughs on you than also start laughing with him/ her on your mistake, this will help you to become confident. *My last suggestion to you is to watch some movies, channels of native English speakers that will improve not only your vocabulary but also your listening power. I hope these points will help you to become confident and fluent in English.

I think when you're just starting to learn English it's better to find someone who speaks your mother tongue. After you reach A2 level you can slowly start learning with natives and when you get to B1-B2 you can learn mostly from native speakers. I recommend my students to start learning with natives after they reach A2-B1 (even if they continue taking my classes (I'm not a native)). When the teacher you're studying with doesn't speak your language it stimulates your brain and doesn't let you get "lazy" and switch to the language that's more comfortable for you. :) It never hurts to have occasional classes with teachers who share the same language with you, though. Because there are some things that speakers of your mother tongue can explain better. So, in my opinion it should be both. Also it's important to learn from different teachers (natives or not), because each person has some language habits and it's good to have some variety. :)
