Nice topic and ty.Just by reading the posts i learned many things.
I am currently practicing how americans speak,cause they have many abbreviatons and other stuff which i dont learn in school.I'm just 14 years,and i was speaking english when i was only 9 years old.Funny thing,i learned how to speak english by watching english cartoons(Cartoon network) and watching movies in english.Nowadays i pay attention to what the actor/actress says in the movie,then i read the translation and that's how i learn english.
You probably ask yourself why i wrote all these stuff in this topic,the reason is i want to know where in this text did i make a gramathic or some other mistake?

Primary, some writing errors:
Nice topic and ty (this is slang, not American English). (Space comes after a dot) Just by reading the posts i (capital I) learned many things.
I am currently practicing how americans (Americans) speak, (space comes after a comma) 'cause (put "'" if you use the short form) they have many abbreviatons (abbreviations) and other stuff which i (capital I) dont (don’t) learn in school. I'm just 14 years, and i (capital I) was speaking english (English) when i was only 9 years old. Funny thing, i learned how to speak english by watching english cartoons (Cartoon network) and watching movies in english . Nowadays i pay attention to what the actor/actress says in the movie, then i read the translation and that's how i (capital I) learn english (English).
You probably ask yourself why i wrote all these stuff in this topic, the reason is i want to know where in this text did i make a gramathic (grammatical) or some other mistake?

Secondary, some structural corrections:
Nice topic and thank you. Just by reading these posts I have learned many things.
Currently I am practicing how Americans speak, because they have many abbreviations, and other stuff which I don’t have an opportunity to learn in school. I’m just 14 years old, and I’ve been speaking English since I was 9. Funny thing is, I’ve learned how to speak English by watching cartoons (Cartoon network) and movies in English. Nowadays I pay attention to what the actor/actress is saying in the movie and then I read the translation. That’s how I learn English.
You probably ask yourselves why I wrote all this in this topic? The reason is, that I want to know where in this text have I made a grammatical or some other mistake?

Thanks Philosopher. I've never wrote a capital I on tests in school, but my teacher never corrected me??
I actually have a lot of friends from America and I've never saw them making a space after every dot or comma.
I have 1 more question. Is it a mistake to write I am currently practicing instead of Currently I am practicing? If it is a mistake, please explain me why?

sloba2424 ::Is it a mistake to write I am currently practicing instead of Currently I am practicing? If it is a mistake, please explain me why?

It's not a mistake per se. Both examples are grammatically correct.

Currently, I am practicing...
Here you are stating that at this time you are performing a certain action.

I am currently practicing...
And here you are stating that you are performing a certain action at this time.

It's basically the same, but there is a slight difference. In first example you are focusing on the time of the action, while in the second the focus is shifted on yourself and the action.

I'd like to know something about your New Year's Resolutions

Is there any specific goal that you'd like to achieve in this year?

I'll try not to think about my problems all the time and enjoy life more.
What would you like to achieve?

ThePhilosopher ::Is there any specific goal that you'd like to achieve in this year?

Nope.


=============


Well, I guess I want to get in better shape, and get even more stronger. I want to get more motivation, not just for exercising/training, but also for studying...
There's no perspective here, so yeah, it's kind of hard to study, and even harder to stay normal and to SURVIVE!

But you know, we try.... that's all we can do... try hard, and hope for the best...
Know what I'm sayin' ?

Try as you may, sometimes you just can't smile, pretend that everything is fine and you're just tired of it.
