Sex and The City & Friends
The first Friends showed in TVB-Pearl Channel(www.tvb.com.hk) tonight. It is very funny. I like it. Sometimes I can not understand the jokes.
Sex and The City would be over soon. I learned more from the program. I need sex, but don't know to enjoy it. It give me a good lesson. Last edited by Billy; 05-11-2003 at 09:40 AM. |

Be careful billy. American TV shows and movies can give you a distorted view of reality. What you see is not necessarily what we have.

I agree with Bruce and Steve on "Sex in the City." Billy, if you really want to learn to enjoy sex, there are some very good books out there that you might want to read. A lot of the sex that is portrayed on TV and in US cinema is grossly distorted. |

Using them to learn oral English
I don't completely believe what they say. I have my capability to decide the wrong or good. I think the oral English is very cool. I learn to listen to it. Do you think it is a good way?
Thank you for your concerns. Indeed I know little to enjoy sex. |

Listening to American radio and television is a good way to become more familiar with our language, but realize that what you will hear is often not 'correct' English, but is more informal (which is also important to learn!)
Oh, and you might want to refer to it as "spoken" English, rather than "oral" English — there is also a sexual connotation to the word oral.

Sex in the City is a great guide for learning to enjoy sex, Billy. The difficult part is getting Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall into the sack with you in the first place. I hear they're rather busy these days. Sigh...

America English
Quote:
I know the movies and programs have sexual connotation. Many students only learn to say "Shit","Damn","Fuck you" from watching the USA movies. It is one reason that our government would not like import too many Armerica movies. I think I can learn the good things, not the dirty words. Do you think which way it is better to use to learn Spoken English? |

The best way to learn Spoken English is by speaking it with native English speakers ... that way you get to practice what you've learned from books, or heard on television and radio. Another good source of practice is to listen to interviews on television or radio ... I had a series of tapes that I had to listen to in an advanced college level German class that were very helpful.

You can park it at my place, but you have to promise to tell stories about the good ol' days, complete with ridiculous exaggerations.

I can not find one native speaker
I can not talk with native speaker because there are few native speaker. So I have to watch the English TV channel. I think the talk with native speaker is a best way because it is intercommunication process. I believe that I can learn good writing here with your help.

I don't know if anybody here is qualified to give you grammar lessons, but you seem to have a farily good grasp of our syntax. I wish I could learn Chinese. The idea that the language is composed of tens of thousands of characters is a little confusing, though. How do you accomodate shifts in language or new terms?
I have listened to Chinese speakers and I cannot make out any individual words. I don't know if spoken English sounds that way to a non-English speaker, but I am curious to find out. Do you have a broadband connection? If so, you could make a broadband call to an American ( or maybe an Australian would give you a better Ping ) - to practice spoken English.

English is difficult to learn

I am glad to teach you if want to learn. I must tell you that the Chinese is more difficult to learn because we have more words to remember. The words are very different. |
