Contrary to common belief, proper English is not pompous. In real life, no one speaks rally English and everyone whose first language is not Finnish thinks it sounds retarded. Which it is.

In real life poorly spoken English the world's most common language.

A lot of money can be made even though your English is poor. You can create great friendships with bad English. You can travel and experience amazing things using poor English. We don't have to be perfect in order to enjoy the life.

And much more money can be made through the use of good English. And friendships are definitely greater, deeper and more meaningful when the frieds both speak their common language to a high standard. Perfection is not required, but only an idiot would settle for crap when they could do so much better.

I partially agree with you, but if you accept your imperfection, the life can give you more. You should not be ashamed of what you can't do. Enjoy the things you can do.

I think I have a bowel movement schedule soon. Fingers crossed it will be an effortless teflon type.

There are other ways of practising your English skills as well... We Finns study too much English instead of using it. We should study the things we study in English instead on studying the language in itself. It is a huge waste of time. We might study mathematics or physics in English. We should not concentrate on the mistakes we make. We should concentrate on the things we are studying (for example maths...). A language is only a tool which helps you to achieve what you want to achieve.

You have to learn the basics first before moving on to something more difficult, like studying mathematics or physics in English... This applies to drawing also.

I strongly disagree.

Hear hear. The path to good language skill involves starting to think things in said language. All sorts of thinks, not just "err ... uuhh.. miten nyt äkkiä sanon XXXXksi hypotenuusa on kateettien neliöiden summan neliöjuuri". Think "hypotenuse is the square root of sum of squared cathetuses".

When you listen to English maths lessons enough, you don't have to think about translating. You have the concepts in your head in English. In Finland we teach English by translating it. I think it is a time consuming method. We should forget we speak Finnish and start imagine that we live in an English speaking environment and we just have to survive there, even though we don't understand everything at the first place.

It's not possible to forget that you're in a Finnish environment when your teacher sounds like a retard. Imagining someone is speaking a viable variant of English doesn't make it so.

I once sat through a lecture by a Finnish man who systematically referred to Germans as 'chairmans', used the word 'heed'  for 'head', and a hundred other stupid incomprehensible structures and words. I had no idea what he was trying to say, but at least our university was offering tuition in 'English'.

Oh for fuck's sake, as if all the non-native English speaker you'll meet around the world speak perfect London accent.

go suck a literal dick

How would you know? You don't become an authority on the English language or the way it's spoken around the world just because your English is less than adequate. You might think everyone's English is as terrible as yours, but it's not true.

Jesus, calm your tits woman

That's a bit of a tall order.

On the contrary, I want to thank you all for your kind support. It was brilliantly effortless teflon, only two pieces of toilet paper required. Economic, ecologic, speedy and joyful!

I only love myself.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear enough... What I meant was that we should listen to maths lessons in _English_, not in Finglish. We should listen to native speakers. Youtube is a great invention.

I've travelled widely and have always found it interesting that wherever you go, you meet panhandlers and prostitutes who speak English much better than your average English teacher in Finland.

Scented toilet paper possibly?

Sticking to your principle, it's useless to study anything at all. Why bother learning new skills, or improve in them, when "life can give you more" if you don't.

Sorry, but I don't buy that.

Ashamed? No way! Being ashamed -of anything- is a self-raised barrier that prevents you from living your life to the fullest.

But I'm alive... :(

Maybe Finnish panhandlers and prostitutes also speak better English than do Finnish English teachers. Almost anyone does.

FREEEEEEEZEEE MEEEEEEEEE.

No matter how hard you try, the Queen of England always speaks better English than you do. We don't want to be like Hyacinth Bucket, don't we? Maybe we just accept ourselves and the fact that we are not perfect. None of us is.
