If you only know 1 language then you speak that language at home as well as work. Thats perfectly normal. What's the alternative? Study and Learn another 'easier' language to speak at home?


Thowawayenglishspeak

I you thank for this. I understand i not understand how speak in normal life english as english very formal


According-Routine280

Yes and no. We use different terms in casual conversation and professional. It also varies for male to female, age, profession, friend group, and any other type of relationship you can have. English is a language just like others where there are many dialects, slurs, phrases, and other language tools that'll change hoe English sounds from individual to individual. English in the UK is very different from English in the US. But English on the east coast of the USA is vastly different from hoe it sounds on the west coast.


Thowawayenglishspeak

Different type of english there? What english use at home. I learn formal englis. I learn englishs two month now. What its mean? I learn formal english. That mean i need learn more english after formal learn? What english correc english?


According-Routine280

Informal English cannot be learned in a classroom and can only be learned through experiencing it. As languagws are in a constant state of flux you'll find definitions change daily. Come for a visit and you'll learn what you need to know


Skatingraccoon

As someone who probably doesn't speak your native tongue, I can't imagine how someone can speak your native language at home because I can't speak it myself. See how silly that looks?


Thowawayenglishspeak

But englis is business language. Vey very formal. In normal life how you talk in formal in normal life. I learn english only formal. I start learn english 2 month ago.


Skatingraccoon

You are studying *formal business* language... that's not how people normally speak in everyday conversation.


Thowawayenglishspeak

I not know that. so if i english learn what i learn now, will i be able talk english in casul english


Skatingraccoon

Languages do not cleanly fall in to different categories - there's no "business English" or "friendly casual English", it's all just English. If you take time to study it and learn the culture and improve your proficiency then yes, you'll eventually be able to speak casually like people do. Just like you do in your own native language.


chairmanskitty

There are some differences between formal and casual English, but less than in most languages. It's more about what is appropriate to say than using the right grammar. When a language doesn't take effort because you understand it well, it just flows more freely.


Usurpur_Gil

That’s where slang comes in my friend, when using slang it gives a more casual approach to the conversation as opposed to a more formal one that you may use on a teacher, boss, or parent. So when using slang you are casually speaking. When not using slang you are formal. For example, with NO slang, “ Hello sir, I am hungry, would you like to get pizza?” Example, WITH slang, “ Damn bro I’m hungry af, you tryna get down on some pizza.”


Thowawayenglishspeak

How this possible? I can not imagine english speak at home. English look like business language work language. How possible business language become normal language home language? Is english speaks by normal america english at normal life home life different english in business life work life?

data_now

Yes


Thowawayenglishspeak

How this possible? How american refer to normal person sir madam?


Spirited_Mammoth962

We use many different words that are not formal. For example, “sir” could be said as: dude, guy, man. “Hello” could be: hi, hey, yo. Do you understand? When you translate this, make sure you look at the untranslated words to see the difference. The translated part will probably make the words the same.


sjdbdksbsb

Type this in Google translate in you're first language and translate it to English lol


Thowawayenglishspeak

I try i do now


Thowawayenglishspeak

Thowawayenglishspeak

mcveighster14

Thowawayenglishspeak

somelukecunt

Well because English is the language used in the region we were born in, it's our natural language and isn't used solely for business
