I need help with this too

i can understand pretty much anything in English but i can't carry a conversation

urban gull
#

Hi

river stream
#

not an easy thing to do. what you want to do is find a way to relate to what the other person is talking about and then you speak to that. or if something they say reminds you of an event or experience in your life, talk about it... "oh, speaking of __________, it reminds me of when i ____________"

https://conversationstartersworld.com/250-conversation-starters/
check out these open-ended questions. some of them are topic focused. try to answer some of these questions yourself and then find a way to move the conversation to a different experience or even a different topic to continue the conversation.... with yourself. its all about practice.

More than 250 conversation starters for your enjoyment. A huge list of conversation starter questions organized into different topics.

#

@hearty atlas @thorny steeple @urban gull @onyx hatch

#

and get in voice chat as much as you can. practice practice practice

thorny steeple
#

how about banter, anyway i can improve that

#

i noticed i just keep asking questions to keep the conversation going

#

and it sounds like im just interrogating someone

river stream
river stream
# thorny steeple and it sounds like im just interrogating someone

yea, this is the part when you want to give your input or experiences that relate to the topic. questions that dont sound like an interrogation would be something like "did you see __ (new movie or classic movie)?" or "__what did you think about ______ (current event topic)?"

Well ,i think life is just a rest before death and the real life is after the death ,think in it everything isn't fair you were born with different abilities like different body or maybe you were born in poor family or rich one so i don't think life is fair
I think the real life is after the death real life when everyone can have the same abilities ,life without getting worry ab money, and life without unfairness, life without misery .so if you ask me what is my point of this life i think we are living to die and start agin in real one

The theme of the novel is alienation.

novel??

lavish finch
#

Have you ever experienced any alienation?

lapis drum
#

yeah, propably

lavish finch
#

Would you like to say more?

lapis drum
#

In what way do you mean alienation?

narrow domeBOT
#

alienation
[1] (noun)
The act of alienating.

lavish finch
#

Horrible definition.

#

@static pivot Can we get a better dictionary bot?

lapis drum
#

I dont know, my phone was once stolen

narrow domeBOT
#

alienating
[1] (verb)
To convey or transfer to another, as title, property, or right; to part voluntarily with ownership of.
[2] (adjective)
Tending to alienate.

#

alienate
[1] (noun)
A stranger; an alien.
[2] (verb)
To convey or transfer to another, as title, property, or right; to part voluntarily with ownership of.
[3] (adjective)
(followed by "from") Estranged; withdrawn in affection; foreign

lavish finch
#

Ignore all those definitions. They are horrible.

#

3 is not bad

lapis drum
#

okay Teacher

narrow domeBOT
lavish finch
#

Your phone being stolen is not alienation

lapis drum
#

so like "been put away" from my group of friends?

#

by them

lavish finch
#

It’s the experience of being isolated from a group

lapis drum
#

yeah I was, but now I talk with only few ppl

lavish finch
#

for many possible reasons

#

What caused it

#

Alienation is about a psychological experience. Not physical isolation.

lapis drum
#

Self improvement, focus on my self, in the future there is bigger propabylity that I'm gonna be there With my self, then them with me.

lavish finch
#

That sounds like solitude

lapis drum
#

thats propably the best how I can explain it

lavish finch
#

Do you want to turn into a giant disgusting bug for self improvement? I don’t think so.

United States.

#

Allow me to say something about my monarchist sympathies, if everyone had a King and Queen then the British wouldn't be so special anymore.

#

I do not like the British.

obtuse galleon
#

Wow, I was still more curious...

sinful isle
#

Please do ask!

#

I'm not one to argue or start drama.

obtuse galleon
#

Oh, I'm living in a country that has a monarchy family... Netherlands

#

But I'm new here and I'm learning about everything yet...

obtuse galleon

#

The House of Oranje-Nassau rules The Kingdom of the Netherlands

#

The only surviving European matrilineal (Female ruling) dynasty of any historical significance.

obtuse galleon
sinful isle
#

Most notable for Queen Wilhelmina who ruled during both World Wars

sinful isle
#

There are many restrictions to opening a business, which was the core principal the US was built upon.

#

So if you ask me, the "freedom" is more a charade and instead the reality is "Hey, everywhere else is worse so you'll stay anyways"

#

I wish we had Amsterdam's bike infrastructure.

I think it is like 1/3 of the adult population is overweight. I don't know how anyone who can't walk a mile can say they are free.

There is little regulation on food compared to the EU.

#

Be glad you live in a place that has rules against spraying crops with all kinds of pesticides.

obtuse galleon
sinful isle
#

Start going up the pyramid and it is around 5 corporations controlling all food in the United States.

#

They want to make money, not keep people healthy.

#

They get more crops by keeping them free of pests.

#

More crops is more money.

sinful isle
#

If a monarch raises their heir well, to be good and to make sure the commoner is happy, then the monarchy will thrive as well.

#

That is how it should be.

#

Coupled with a prime minister and large parliament to cover small areas of people you can have a strong, yet fair and effective government.

#

The king can keep corruption in check with limited powers over the military (internal operation, the king cannot decide to declare war without parliamentary vote)

#

And the people with their parliament will make sure the king who hopefully was raised right is kept in check lest the very large population seek to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic.

# rough helm Do they respect Muslims there?

I'm a Muslim myself and in my opinion I couldn't tell you that totally yes bc there are a lot of stereotypes about our religion. But I think it's the same everywhere ,there are very good people as bad.there will always be someone who disrespects you, and not necessarily for your religion.

For now I'm considering Germany and albanis

Hey

# slim fjord I'd start from basic grammar, and vocab

I think telling new learners to focus on grammar is a false guideline people lay down, and to me is one of the worst things you could advise to a new learner. The things you should chiefly focus on are vocabulary, sentence structure, and making sentences.

Vocabulary is super important because it's like the staple of making sentences. How can you make sentences if you don't have vocab to do so?

And sentence structure is also very important, you should learn to put sentences together to be able to convey what you want to say.

Things like grammar, pronunciation, and spelling should be less prioritized because if you have great vocab and the ability to put sentences together with that vocab, there shouldn't be issues understanding you, even if you have bad grammar.

This is my advice to an English learner.

Start learning vocabulary at first, words are key of understanding the language. Then you should read a lot in order to understand the structure of sentences. After that watch a large amount of videos, for example, youtube, movies and TV shows. That is needed to improve your listening skill and understand the speech of other people. I suppose it is the easiest way and you just should repeat this circle but also changing the level of content every time. At the end, when you will fully get what others say and write, the only thing left is your speaking and you can practice it here (in order to speak you firstly have to get good vocabulary base and understand your mates thats why it is the last stage)

Trying to talk is always important even if it's difficult to you but knowing the language better, it will be much more easier to communicate so don't rush with that. First of all you have to know how to engage in conversation with other language speakers (as I mentioned earlier, by reading some articles and books + watching some videos), and only then it would be good idea to practice your speaking as you won't face much difficulties

@crisp estuary

lavish mist
# slim fjord Sentence structure and making sentence isn't a part of grammar ??

In a roundabout way, maybe, but not in a conventional way. The kind of grammar I'm talking about is that unnecessary technical grammar, like conjugation, tenses, all that stuff.

All of that is super unnecessary to learn as a beginner. Focus on gaining vocabulary and learning how to use that vocabulary in a sentence so you can convey what you want to say.

civic reef
#

i mean yes, vocab is the priority, but there's literally everything that could go wrong if someone doesnt understand differences between tenses

civic reef
# civic reef tenses are not unnecessary

as soon as you know them, you can sound better, and understand things better, than some "fluent" speakers who claim to be amazing, but in reality they still say a lot of stuff like "she havent" or "we doesnt", or maybe "it did not happened"

#

like no reason to delay it, because the reason why so many people end up not knowing them is just because they were ignoring them from the beginning all the time, and now they speak the language to some extent, but they are prone to misunderstandings

#

but yeah, i dont mean going into small details of them, the input and the vocab are top priorities because without the input you dont even know how the language sounds irl

I just scared my sister so much she punched me.

urban aspen

Again

#

U should stop scaring she

wheat ruin
# urban aspen U should stop scaring she

You were pretty close! The correct word for referring to your sister is "her"

"Her" is used to refer to a single female in third person, Although "her" can also be used with animals and countries.

"Her" is used as the object of a verb or a preposition

#

Verb = action word (something you do, such as run or jump)
Preposition = a word, or a group of words placed before the noun

thorny steeple

so what is the ig

The error: "You should stop scaring she"

Correct: "You should stop scaring her"

@lavish finch I'd like to ask a question and it's related to English grammar.

royal stratus
#

What’s the difference between an idiom and a piece of coloquial language?

twin needle
royal stratus
#

I asked? Sure I did. What I mean now and meant then is: I could not understand you.

#

Can you comprehend that?

twin needle
twin needle
royal stratus
#

The text you’ve sent.

royal stratus
#

I couldn’t follow, and I don’t think it was because of a lack of trying.

twin needle
#

Can't read this text?

royal stratus
#

I can read it just fine, the matter is: I could not extract any meaning from it.

#

What did it mean?

#

That’s what I was left asking.

twin needle
#

Well, I mean the meaning of the idiom is different from the meaning found in its words.

royal stratus
#

That makes sense.

#

What about pieces of coloquial language?

twin needle
royal stratus
#

That also makes sense.

#

Do I need an example? Can’t you think of one yourself? And by doing that, would you also arrive at the answer to my question?

twin needle
#

If you don't give me an example I can't help you.

royal stratus
#

I apologise if I was blunt, that was my intention.
I couldn’t extract any meaning from your original message, but given that you’ve since put it in a more eloquent manner, I’m happy to be having this discussion.

royal stratus
royal stratus
twin needle
royal stratus
#

I never said slang piece. That’s what I didn’t get from your original. message. Coloquial language sometimes incorporates the use of slang, but it isn’t slang.

#

Okay okay you were right. You know what, I will go now goodbye.

lavish finch
#

Concrete example; I just heard a noise

#

Abstract example; I can’t study if there’s noise

violet otter
#

how can we differentiate?

lavish finch
#

abstract; .
existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.

violet otter
#

yeah but noise can be heard

flat wigeon
lavish finch
#

I’m not sure you understand the difference between abstract and concrete

violet otter
#

because you experience it through one of your five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch.
and thats concrete

lavish finch
#

Let’s look at a different example

#

weather vs rain

#

Rain is a specific type of weather

#

It’s concrete

#

Weather is an abstraction

flat wigeon
#

Yes

#

This doesn’t apply to your noise example

violet otter
#

how does it relate with noise?

lavish finch
#

You have not let me finish. It does apply to my noise example.

violet otter
#

ok, continue

lavish finch
#

Noise can be used to describe both something concrete or something abstract.

#

You can talk about a specific noise. Like a tapping sound.

#

Or you can talk about noise is an abstract concept. Not a specific type.

flat wigeon
#

You’re talking empty words

violet otter
#

i dont understand

flat wigeon
#

I just heard a noise is still abstract you haven’t given any specificity

violet otter
lavish finch
#

No it’s just ambiguous.

flat wigeon
violet otter
lavish finch
#

If you’re dissatisfied with my description please go ahead and give us a description that is satisfying.

flat wigeon
#

Noise will always be abstract since it’s an obfuscated version of a specific sound

flat wigeon
#

Unless you go and specify it, I heard a tapping noise. But that’s weird at that point say tapping sound

violet otter
#

but i think Sir Green is also right

flat wigeon
#

Hah even better

#

His distinction is simply null since he describes the same thing twice

violet otter
#

but thanks for ur explanation, i kinda got it

lavish finch
#

information theory defines noise using three characteristics. Ambiguity, contradiction, redundancy.

flat wigeon
#

Okay

#

So

lavish finch
#

If you want to understand a thing, it helps to provide a definition.

flat wigeon
#

As a teacher you should do some self reflection

lavish finch
#

What would you like me to reflect on?

flat wigeon
lavish finch
#

But I didn't.

#

One definition of noise is exclusive to sound.

#

The other definition of noise is an abstract concept related to noise in any kind of transfer of information.

flat wigeon
#

Lol

#

šŸ˜‚

#

I can’t study when there is noise is also about sound my guy

lavish finch
#

I'm also going to use our conversation to teach something about communication.

#

For any observers who attended my series on SAVI this week (system for analyzing verbal interactions)

#

Where would you categorize the utterances from myself and Alexithymia?

#

(note that noise is at the bottom of the grid, along with silence and laughter)

flat wigeon
#

šŸ˜‚

#

Influencing

lavish finch
#

Would you be specific? Which utterances are influencing?

flat wigeon
#

We are influencing each other

#

You could also say it’s finding facts

lavish finch
#

Possibly. Try to be specific. Which utterances, and which subcategory of influencing.

flat wigeon
#

I am not interested in your SAVI model

lavish finch
#

Ok

flat wigeon
#

I can’t study when there is noise refers to sound

#

I don’t see the relevance with this model

lavish finch
#

Are you interested in the relevance?

flat wigeon
#

Unless you refer to the information transfer being noise because of a bad teacher or something

#

But that’s a very weird way to put it

lavish finch
#

How would you put it?

flat wigeon
#

In that case

#

I had a shit teacher

lavish finch
#

That would be box 1, attacking.

flat wigeon
#

Not I can’t study if there’s noise

lavish finch
#

You're thinking of a very specific kind of noise.

flat wigeon
#

Yes

#

What kinds of noise are you thinking of ?

lavish finch
#

But that's not the only kind of noise.

flat wigeon
#

You have auditory noise

lavish finch
#

Yes

flat wigeon
#

And interference

flat wigeon
lavish finch
#

What makes it weird?

flat wigeon
#

Because it implies noise as in sound

lavish finch
#

That's right

flat wigeon
#

If you would analyse the context of similar statements you would see it’s basically always in the context of sound

lavish finch
#

It's obvious in that example that the noise is auditory.

flat wigeon
#

Yes exactly

#

Meaning you described noise the same way twice

lavish finch
#

No

flat wigeon
#

What is the difference between them ?

#

Both are auditory

lavish finch
#

We tried that. Let's try something different.

#

You tell me the difference.

flat wigeon
#

šŸ’€

lavish finch
#

You don't see a difference

flat wigeon
lavish finch
#

And you're not interested in what I see

#

So we're done.

flat wigeon
flat wigeon
#

I asked you just a minute ago

lavish finch
#

Alright, would you tell me what I've said so far?

flat wigeon
#

First you wanted to define noise using information theory. Then you said noise has multiple meanings I agree (auditory and interference) you then talked about your SAVI grid. We then talked about how I can’t study when there is noise implies sound and not interference

lavish finch
#

Thank you

#

That's not what I'm saying exactly

flat wigeon
#

Enlighten me

lavish finch
#

You've got a pushy attitude

flat wigeon
#

Okay and this is relevant how ?

lavish finch
#

That's what I'd like to know

flat wigeon
#

It isn’t relevant

lavish finch
#

Right

#

So then why are you pushing me?

flat wigeon
#

šŸ˜‚

#

Fuck man

lavish finch
#

There it is

flat wigeon
#

My personality doesn’t have relevance to this discussion. Now you ask so why do you have this personality.

#

That’s even further from relevance

lavish finch
#

So let me start by stating my interest

flat wigeon
#

Okay

lavish finch
#

I don't need your encouragement

#

abstract/concrete is a matter of definition

#

noise is also a matter of definition

#

@violet otter original question was "is noise an abstract or concrete noun"

urban aspen
violet otter
lavish finch
#

There was no context given. For example "I can’t study when there is noise"

urban aspen
flat wigeon
#

And I said you described the same thing twice

lavish finch
#

You're leading me where you want to go, again. Blindly disagreeing before I've finished. That's why I said we're done. You're not interested in following my chain of reasoning. That's fine.

flat wigeon
#

You talk about irrelevant things

#

I can’t study when there is noise

#

Is this about sound yes or no ?

#

The answer is yes

lavish finch
#

Irrelevant to you, from your place of understanding. I'm not here to convince you out of it.

flat wigeon
#

Meaning it’s not abstract and that’s the end of it

violet otter
#

whats the conclusion
i still havent got my answer lol

flat wigeon
#

The data transfer was subject to a lot of noise.

#

This is abstract

lavish finch
#

@violet otter That's true

violet otter
lavish finch
#

"A concrete noun refers to a physical object in the real world, such as a dog, a ball, or an ice cream cone. An abstract noun refers to an idea or concept that does not exist in the real world and cannot be touched, like freedom, sadness, or permission."

Auditory sound is physical. Therefore concrete.
The clarity of an essay is conceptual. Therefore abstract.
Noise can be either.

violet otter
#

so how do we know which one is which according to sentence

flat wigeon
#

But I can’t study when there is noise is concrete

lavish finch
#

Depends on the sentence.

flat wigeon
#

Not abstract like you claimed

violet otter
flat wigeon
#

He can’t

violet otter
#

can u? lol

flat wigeon
#

He did explain it

violet otter
#

i mean with sentence explanation

flat wigeon
#

Noise when talking about sound is concrete because you can hear it

#

I can’t study when there is noise

#

Talks about sound

#

You can hear sound thus it is concrete

violet otter
#

ok
and when is abstract?

flat wigeon
#

The data transfer was subject to heavy noise talks about interference, this is something you can’t see feel touch etc and thus is abstract

violet otter
#

okay

#

thanks for the help

lavish finch
#

Alexithymia is right.

#

The original example I gave for abstract noise, "I can't study if there's noise", is actually an example of concrete noise, because its implied that the noise is auditory, not conceptual.

flat wigeon
#

Thank you

lavish finch
#

A better example for abstract noise would be "I can't understand your essay. The ideas are all over the place. There is too much irrelevant information. It's too noisy."

#

The abstract definition of noise and the concrete definition are two distinct definitions.
The reason it's useful to elaborate on the abstract definition is that it makes it easier to identify it and distinguish it from the other.
That's why I listed the three characteristics of abstract noise; ambiguity, contradiction, redundancy.

flat wigeon
#

In the end it’s irrelevant. I can’t study when there is noise is referring to sound and is thus concrete.

lavish finch
#

No, it's not irrelevant.

#

Now let's talk about your attitude.

violet otter
lavish finch
flat wigeon
lavish finch
#

It's a kind of noise.

violet otter
#

is it abstract?

lavish finch
#

Yes

flat wigeon
#

In this case it would be yea šŸ˜‚

violet otter
#

lol
okay

lavish finch
#

Box 3, orienting, competing, interrupting.

#

Relevancy depends upon goal.

#

What is relevant for one goal is irrelevant for a different goal.

flat wigeon
#

You are like a broken record

lavish finch
#

I'm not just talking to you, Alex.

flat wigeon
#

My discussion never reached further than making you understand that I can’t study when there is noise is concrete and not abstract

lavish finch
#

Alex is correct that what I'm saying is irrelevant for him. But it's not irrelevant for me, because we have different goals.

violet otter
#

yeah

lavish finch
#

What I see is that Alex interrupts himself. But I don't know why.

flat wigeon
#

Now this sparks my interest

#

How does such a thing work

#

Interrupting myself

violet otter
#

lol

lavish finch
#

Well for example, Alex could tell us about his goal, what is relevant to him, etc. I don't know what's getting in the way of him doing that.

flat wigeon
#

I told you

#

Correcting you

violet otter
#

to err is human

lavish finch
#

You can't correct me because I have not finished.

flat wigeon
#

šŸ˜‚

lavish finch
#

You don't know what I'm going to say.

flat wigeon
#

That’s a flawed statement

violet otter
#

Alex was right that "i cant study when there is noise" is concrete

flat wigeon
#

I don’t need to wait for you to Finnish the moment you say 1 + 1 = 3 I can correct you

lavish finch
#

But I didn't make a flawed statement.

flat wigeon
#

You did

lavish finch
#

Where?

flat wigeon
#

You claimed I can’t study when there is noise is abstract
