I guess that was kinda ironic, but she's Portugese. I think.

No, but your sentence advicing him to practice his English was gramatically incorrect, and that was kinda funny.

It should have been "some advice: start to practise your English". And the above message should be "where was my mistake?".

*Sigh* What I tried to tell to Hoodie anyway was about general terms, not only because of small stuff... As my English isn't 100% perfect, even finishing the subject at school with 18 (The max mark is 20).

If I'm honest, I find it quite difficult to understand your posts. Do you use a translator at all?

Never. Translators aren't loyal, especially when ? to Portuguese or Portuguese to ?. If I don't know a word I search it on a dictionary.
(Sorry if I looked rude on the previous posts)

I know. You think you can trust them, but then, when you least expect it, they stab you in the back! They're even less loyal than Carlos Tevez, and that says a lot!

Translators aren't dictionaries' substitutes.

I personally think Haruka is doing pretty well. Of course her English isn't perfect but she's perfectly understandable in most situations. She certainly deserves more consideration as a non-native speaker than most of those whose mother tongue is English yet they can't even spell words such as “definitely” and “woman” and keep confusing “have” and “of”.

I can defiantly spell women.
Haruka does write pretty decent English, although not so much on this page. I actually thought for a second she was deliberately writing poor English.

I'm glad to know that people are having consideration about my effort on writting English as well as I can. I haven't English classes anymore (11st grade was the last year of English) but my training isn't over yet. In fact I can learn much more vocabulary by participating on English websites.
