He can read about how to use proper grammar. --- End quote --- -He can read. -He knows some grammar. -Even if he does, he will not fully understand it. As I've stated: It's impossible to fully understand grammar without listening to it. --- Quote from: Dissolve on August 07, 2011, 03:13:46 PM ---Now to be completely fair, if he uses some sort of translator or English is not his first language, then I am completely sorry. --- End quote --- --- Quote ---My frist language is American Sign Language. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Dissolve on August 07, 2011, 03:13:46 PM ---Another thing, this is the internet, he could just be out for attention. --- End quote --- Like you are right now, by trying to win an argument on an online LEGO-themed building game forum. I know no person who would lie about being deaf. If so, then that would be a sick joke. --- Quote from: CpW on August 07, 2011, 03:06:40 PM ---Just stop trying, because you aren't winning. --- End quote --- |

--- Quote from: Stocking on August 07, 2011, 03:18:16 PM ---Yeah so what's the big deal? Yeah but it takes a long loving time to learn a language that way, and it's easily the worst way to go about doing it. The point was is that in 4 weeks you'd pick up nothing because that way is ridiculously slow and arduous. I learned Japanese from people around me speaking it and from hearing it on television, which is the same exact way I learned English. I taught myself German through just text I found online and my German is loving horrible, the sheer amount of tedium required to learn a language that way makes it completely impractical, and it's a blessing that I'm not deaf because I'd probably struggle to speak a single language were it not for my hearing. Yeah so he knows enough English to read and talk, which is a pretty significant feat for a deaf person learning a second language. And what do you mean "head about grammar"? --- End quote --- Read about grammar. See my only problem is that he already knows English to a huge degree. Why not use that English that he knows, to read about the structure of English sentences, and maybe improve his own. It doesn't have to be in a day. It doesn't have to be in a week. It doesn't have to be in a month. --- Quote from: CpW on August 07, 2011, 03:26:50 PM ----He can read. -He knows some grammar. -Even if he does, he will not fully understand it. As I've stated: It's impossible to fully understand grammar without listening to it. --- End quote --- I don't even fully understand grammar and I can listen to it, he can at least TRY to improve his. --- Quote from: CpW on August 07, 2011, 03:26:50 PM ---Like you are right now, by trying to win an argument on an online LEGO-themed building game forum. --- End quote --- You are too. --- Quote from: CpW on August 07, 2011, 03:26:50 PM ---I know no person who would lie about being deaf. If so, then that would be a sick joke. --- End quote --- People lie about a lot of things, for benefits and other such things. By first language, I meant written language, his seems to be English. Even so I've lost the heart of what I was trying to say at this point. So to refresh I say this. He can improve his grammar, there's nothing stopping him from doing that, just something slowing him down. |

You're seriously being a friend right now. Read about grammar. See my only problem is that he already knows English to a huge degree. Why not use that English that he knows, to read about the structure of English sentences, and maybe improve his own. It doesn't have to be in a day. It doesn't have to be in a week. It doesn't have to be in a month. I don't even fully understand grammar and I can listen to it, he can at least TRY to improve his. [/quote] And you obviously don't know what it's like to be deaf. Get your facts right before you try another comeback. --- Quote from: Dissolve on August 07, 2011, 03:34:56 PM ---You are too. --- End quote --- No, I'm standing up for someone. There's a big difference. --- Quote from: Dissolve on August 07, 2011, 03:34:56 PM ---People lie about a lot of things, for benefits and other such things. By first language, I meant written language, his seems to be English. --- End quote --- Just stop trying. I've seriously had enough of you now. Just stop trying to win and get out. |

Again: There is nothing stopping him from learning the grammar of a language, just something slowing him down. |
