English only :) - Strona 6

Chwila oddechu dla stałych bywalców i świeżych owieczek. Trunki oraz coś na ząb w gronie znajomych, jak i dla tych którzy chcą podumać bądź przygadać sobie ramię w ramię z barmanem.

Well, not necessarily village per se, but the school district. My former school district (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octorara_ ... l_District) spans 91 square miles. you'd be hard pressed to find a single school district in the northeast without any people from the south of the border. After all, Puerto Ricans are US citizens, so it's not all immigration. I'm curious how it is in real rural America, but with 35 million Hispanic people in this country, I bet each county has at least one family that speaks Spanish as their first language.

So, what do you guys think?
RoShaun Williams is renowned for having blistering pace, having beaten Olympic gold medallist Darren Campbell's school's 100m record in 2014, sprinting 100m in 10.99 seconds. Despite still being an Under-16 schoolboy, RoShaun has found himself a key part of the Under-18 side in the 2014/15 season, forming a good centre back partnership with Axel Tuanzebe - another fantastic talent from Man United academy. He is 17 now and already became a regular in "Red Devils" U-21 team. Youngsters James Weir, Regan Poole, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Donald Love, Joe Riley, and Marcus Rashford have all made their senior debuts this season and RoShaun is the next one tipped to make his senior debut sooner rather than later.

Ycu, how do you feel about speaking (not writing or reading) English? I think you might've mentioned this at some point but I don't remember.

You mean how hard it is for me? Always, in the beginning, I feel a bit awkwardly, but it also depends on people, who are around. For example - if I'm walking with my girlfriend down the street, and some stranger shows up and asks about something in English, I feel weird talking to him, while my girlfriend is listening. And I know she'd feel the same, if she were me. But let's imagine another situation - I'm walking down the street alone, because my girlfriend pretends that she's writing that thing you need to write to achieve a master's degree (google translator tells me that is called a 'thesis', but I don't believe it, how to say 'praca magisterska' in English, haw?) and I meet a few guys from USA, who ask me how to get to the airport. In that situation I feel confident, maybe besides first seconds - it's always the hardest to start talking in other language. Of course that confidence could quickly disappear, if I forget some words or simply don't know how to say someting, and thereby I start to stutter ;).

PS: What a goal from Messi, it's been a while since he makes such a rally on the pitch ;)

Doctore, it's all good for me, if you did it by yourself, why you're asking others to do the translations? :D The only thing is the beginning, which sounds weird for me, I'll write it like that:
RoShaun Williams is well known for his blinding speed/pace / RoShaun Williams is famous for his blinding speed/pace

Blistering has also another, ugly meaning ;)

You're serious? I think I like them, but I cannot say it for sure, because... I never get in touch with any of them :(. That's just Poland, sometimes I see them on the streets, but it's rare. No one of my friends knows a negro, so I never got a chance to meet one. And it sounds like I'm talking about some kinda animal :D.

Otherwise - why so quiet, guys? You promised me, that you'll be keeping this thread alive! :)

No worries mate. I'll post something during the weekend so we can have another brainstorm like last time (remember "comparing to"?) ;)

Yep, you suck in English, but as I said before - you'll become a native speaker thanks to me and Bartholomew!
