>>278-279 This is what 2ch is all about. It won't change the tide no matter how you insist.
In fact, my stance on 2chan is not that negative like youz guys'. In fact, I always enjoy lurking here. I figure this is rather a good place of the kind to develop our media literacy, than to butter up each other in Mixi, which is way beyond my favourite.
>>294 What is a pro-IDist like you doing in a place like this? You'd better be used to this kind of communication style to develop media literacy.
There's a positive side in 2ch. With anonymity, we can make most of the right to freedom of speech. There's some truth even in those rude, offensive comments so reading such comments help you vent out frustration you'd have to endure in real life.
It's not easy to say which is a better way of communication on the Internet, Mixi or 2ch. Sometimes I grew tired viewing the disorder in 2ch but I have to admit that sometimes I like it.
>>391 You want this place to be like the one in non-democratic China? Heck, NO. All you care about is to dog a guy with the same ID all over english@2ch. Besides, what >>390 said was letting out steam by reading rude, but true comments, not creating a battle field like you did now. Shame on you.
ID反対派(現状に満足) *If the system ain't broke, don't fix it. *It's a good place to develop your media literacy. *There's some truth even in those rude, offensive comments.
Huh? Who said that? Would you mind rephrasing that in other words? I have no idea what you are talking about. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm an English major, and what I have learned/believe is completely opposite from yours. Basically speaking, all foreign language learners virtually follow the same simple, uniform course of study, regardless of your intention whether you want to acquire English for practical use or to study for Japanese college.
Take vocabulary building, for example. You encounter a new unfamiliar word, and grasp one general meaning of that today. Then you come across the word tomorrow and the day after again and again, you finally begin to use it by yourself. But a native speaker of the language someday tells you the usage of the word is somewhat unnatural, and you get even closer to the true meaning of the word. The rest is infinite repetition of this cycle.
That's our "常識" if I may say. If my words sounded rude, that's because I'm offended by your ignorance and arrogance. What makes you think you are different from other commoners really? As long as we all learners are essentially the same, we are open to communication.
"I" said that. Can't you see? The subject is "俺" there.
OK, you are an English major and it seems you write pretty decent English. Good for you. And you believe that there is the golden rule in learning English and everybody should follow it. You know what? I somewhat agree with that too. But the question here is, Are you or Are you not "受験生" or "英検合格やTOEICハイスコアが目的の人"? You are obviously not, and I don't know what made you the PR for them.
Let me tell you something. You said there is only one way of learning English, and I concur. I believe that people should start from real basics like vowels. Yes, they should start from mumbling different vowels like babies do until they can differentiate them. Then the consonents. Then they should re-learn all the basic words with the correct pronunciations, the words like cat, dog, together, etc. This is crucial to English proficiency as the ability to recognize phonemes correctly is strongly related not just to listening and speaking alone but also to memorization and acquisition of vocabulary.
However, do I recommend this to 受験生s?Hell no! They will be 2浪 while they are still mumbling 'mama' and 'papa'. I have a friend who managed to bring his 偏差値 up to 70 something from 30 something in a year. The trick? Thousands of 単語カード. Minimal Japanese translation par word. This is possibly the worst way to learn English but probably the most efficient way to get a good 偏差値, and you know it.
It is very noble of you to think every English learners should aim for the real English proficiency but face it, 受験生 care about 偏差値, and 偏差値 alone. They are not interested in basics that will help them 4 years later, and they are right, they shouldn't be. The same goes for TOEIC and 英検. While they require more well-rounded skills, you'd be mad to recommend re-learning of basic vocabularies to a サラリーマン who needs to get 730 in 2 month for 昇進試験 or something like that. I'm not bashing these people, different people have different goals in life, I just said it's hard to talk to them. And you see all these TOEIC and 学歴荒らし? While it's not their fault, it could be completely avoided if we have different boards or at least abated if we have ID.
I'm actually not counting on changing the board policy and I don't even post on this thread much, so I don't really care about this, but you are saying you want to "enjoy" 荒らし and cussing anybody who supports introduction of ID, so I believe I have the right to make some sarcastic comments. I'm not enjoying those 荒らし, and I believe I have as much right to want to get ID introduced as you have to not want to. You make yourself sound like your opinion is supported by the majority of people here and acting like your own this place, take it or leave it, but really you are just attacking anybody who have different opinion than yours. You cuss people, and you get cussed. It's as simple as that. Actually, I didn't even once cussed you girl. Look at your posts and think about it.
お主、上のほうで荒れてるスレの例を挙げてない? 何でやめちゃったの? あと、それに対してなされた反論を読んで当たってると思わんかった? 解決の糸口は論客の主張の中にこそあるものじゃろJK *There's some truth even in those rude, offensive commentsってね。 お主の頭なら普通わかりそうなもんなんじゃが、、、
>>493-494 Yes, I am an ex-受験生 and 英検合格やTOEICハイスコアが目的の人. What I mean is, you learned English as Basic→Basic→Advanced, And ordinary Japanese are more or less B→A→Back to B.
Both have two Bs and one A, the total amount of study hours are the same. That's the way 2nd language learning is, I believe.
受験生s should climb up the ladder fast for 大学受験 preparation, and 受験 is to assess students' academic achievements, not for 'mama' 'papa', you know that. It's not the matter of which is better or worse, it's no biggie. All's well that ends well, man.
So the bottom line is, there's no need to split the english板。
>>494 Hey, I don't enjoy 荒らし! You take I'm someone else.
At first I thought you must be smart since your English is good, but I'm starting to feel you are a kind of natural-born troller.
You are half smart, but half stupid. You are half adult, half child.
I guess you think you need ID because as soon as you write something, more spammers flock around you. In short, you are too charming for 荒らし, I guess. Your logic is weak, but I don't have time to correct each.
>>511-512 I didn't ask if you HAD BEEN a 受験生. I asked if you ARE and you are not. Also when are you taking 英検? Which grade? And what TOEIC score do you need to get on the next exam? What exactly is your target? You didn't convince me there. Give me something more specifics.
>受験 is to assess students' academic achievements, not for >(assessing the skill to pronounce) 'mama' 'papa' Thank you. That's exactly what I said. Being able to recognize the difference between the first and the second vowels in Mama and Papa is critical to listening and speaking and is also related to the ability to memorize vocabulary. But It'll take years to get to the level where they can differentiate all English phonemes correctly and 受験生s simply don't have that kind of time to spend on what little contributes to their 偏差値. They can typically spend only 1000 or so hours which is merely sufficient to get to the level a little better than "survival level", but as you said, they will be tested for "academic achievements". They will be required to read paragraphs that are similar to "academic" writings such as reports and treatises, comprehend their meanings and answer tricky questions. And the amount of time they can allocate to get to that level is extremely limited.
In order to achieve it, they'll need a lot of vocabulary memorization using direct translations in Japanese because memorizing words in English with correct pronunciations will take them a lot longer, 3 times more from my personal experience, while knowing only the Japanese translations will get them to answer the questions correctly most of the time. They will also need to learn ”文法” in Japanese for a similar reason. It'll take them thousands of hours of reading to recognize diverse forms of sentences and different grammar rules, while learning "文法", instead of "grammar", will give them the skills to accurately, for the most part, decipher intricate clause and to pick out the grammar errors in the questions in relatively short time, probably about several hundred hours.
While this 文法 and 単語 thing is crucial to 受験生, does this apply to me ? Should I do a lot of 文法 and memorize単語 in Japanese? I don't think so. I've never done "A", as you call it. I just did a bunch of BBBBBBB, and I don't think I'll ever need to do "A" unless I decide to start teaching 受験生 and 大学生 who need to get the ability to read books and theses rather quickly.
I'm not saying we absolutely need to split the board even if that is possible, I'm saying that What is needed for 受験英語 and the real-world English proficiency are quite different, and the difference in the mindset towards English can cause conflicts.
Conflicts are actually OK, what's 2ch without conflicts? But as someone so pertinently called it, ピンポンダッシュ are not very interesting to anybody but 荒らし. You are right, I sometimes muster a flock of offensive comments, but that itself is O.K. What I don't hold with is that a lot of offensive comments on this board now are ピンポンダッシュ. And which of us would benefit from ID? Me or ピンポンダッシャー? Would you like me to talk to you like this or would you like a bunch of comments like ”ゆとりの肉便器は脳みそまで腐臭を 放ってんなwww”? I mean if you prefer the later, I can be like that too, I've been lurking in 2ch for almost 10 years now after all. But personally, I don’t find it much fun.
>>513-514 Hmmmmm. >Being able to decipher intricate clauses and to pick out grammar errors in short time. Is that your idea of the ability of 'Advanced English'? Like I said, the tide has completely changed (except some prestigious colleges in Kansai area). Do you find reading a newspaper is difficult? 受験 is not more difficult than that. So you studied BBBBBB.... and have reached A, 受験生s are Baaaaa...BBBB... and real A. Same! Same!
Actually I found a very strange example in here. See below. What do you think of the sentences? They say it's from a long-seller 受験参考書 of English. >The Japanese have an interesting attitude toward Western things. >They have taken from the west a few things whole, >adapted and made Japanese others, and completely rejected still others.
I know 516 is スレ違い. Sorry everyone. >>515 What exactly do you have in mind when you say 'ping-pong dashing'? This?↓ http://academy6.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1234870469/1-14 I don't know. I wouldn't come if the whole board was like that. This place is fun nonetheless, and is functioning... to me, at least. It appears I can take 2ch as it is today maybe because I'm new. Perhaps I'm more resistant to PPD than you are.
>>516 >Do you find reading a newspaper is difficult? 受験 is not more difficult than that. No. I don't find it difficult. I find it "extremely formidable" for people who learnt English for mere 1000 hours. For instance, it takes over 4000 hours for bureaucrats at U.S. department of state to get to the level of proficiency in Japanese where they can comprehend news stories without many misreadings.
And we are talking about the American equivalent of 外務省キャリア here. If it takes those extraordinarily intelligent and diligent people over 4000 hours of dedicated study in an ideal learning environment, is it or is it not realistic to ask Japanese high school students to do the same in less than a quarter of the time? Although it may be difficult for Americans to learn Kanji, I don't think you can provide credible evidences to support that learning English for Japanese is 5 times easier than learning Japanese for Americans.
I have showed you why 単語 and 文法 (take notice of Kanji) are so important for 受験生 but not for people like myself. These are the techniques required to get good "偏差値". They are crucial for 受験生, but would you recommend I study 文法 in Japanese and learn all these 5文型 and such? I doubt it. Inversely, would you recommend practicing the pronunciation of vowels, and re-learning of basic vocabulary without Japanese translation to 受験生? You must hate them and want them to fail 受験 if you do.
>>516 >What do you think of the sentences? I personally find it very strange, but I can understand its meaning (I think) and see no apparent grammar mistakes. Doesn't the fact that it is from a long-seller 参考書 prove my point even further? What is required for getting good 偏差値 and what is required for the use of natural English is somewhat different, and so it is inevitable that 受験生's 常識 and my 常識 are different. As I said, it is noble of you to think otherwise, may be they "should not" be different but they "are" in fact different, and I'm not talking about the matter of principles. At least for now.
>>517 Yes. These could be some examples of ピンポンダッシュ. Which of us do you think would ID benefit ? Them or me? Definitely me. You are entitled to your own opinion, and I don't usually post on this board that much, you're probably spending more effort on this board, but I think ID would generally benefit people who have more English skills as they usually have more "say" in studying English.
>>519 I think I can provide with credible evidences that learning English for Japanese students can be 5 times easier than American high-ranking officers, but unfortunately I don't have time tonight. And if ever, I have to site a lot.
Furthermore, I actually have taken the FSI scale exam, so I know the fact lots of more than you do. Plus my major is language. You don't know anything about it. It's very hard to educate a layperson from scratch, you know that???
>>520 Do you think the entire board is like【末日聖徒イエスキリスト教会】で英会話 thread? If so, I'd shut down my PC. Both you and I have "life" in real world don't we? Did you ever report spam posts to deleters? Or don't you consider you'll be the one? http://academy6.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1238180368/l50 Shut your mouth and don't you be a bother for anyone else.
Instead, I found something interesting you might enjoy. The source is, incredible or not, 2ch. lol Now you know you are many times bigger 荒らし than anybody else. See you tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.
>>523 OK, you think you can prove English is 5 times easier than Japanese but you don't have time. Sure. And you are a specialist and know a lot more about FSI scale but you won't tell us about it. Totally reasonable.
And wether or not this entire board is like that thread is completely irrelevant. You did not answer my question. Which type of people will ID benefit? Them or me? Would you answer me please?
>>524 I was there and he didn't say anything after I said I don't even know what SVOC's C stands for.
>Which means, majority of users don't need ID. Why?? Are you reading my post correctly?
>>525 >Why?? Are you reading my post correctly? It's a matter of simple syllogism. @ Nobody needs ID when they reach 30 A On 2ch, people in their 30's and 40's are the majority ∴@+A= Majority of users don't need ID on 2ch
>And whether or not this entire board is like that thread is completely irrelevant. You think so? >You did not answer my question. You don't answer my questions either. >Which type of people will ID benefit? Them or me? Maybe you? >>526 Why not?
I dunno, I can't tell if you are successful in the real world or not. Your English is very good, but your logic grasping skill is that of secondary student's. I'm bicycle today. 2-tyred. Sorry.
>>527 Oh, I thought you meant "a few" people. I'm the one who's over 30 and I thought you are a collage student. What's the "logic" behind "few people need ID when they reach 30" then?
I don't see any "logic" in your last several posts. What logic do people over 12 years old supposed to find in the posts like "shut your mouth", "you are like a student in secondary school","you don't know anything about it"? I'm really puzzled. I know you are bicycle today, but it would be nice if you could explain when you are not a bicycle.
You said you got your English assessed with the FSI scale and let me guess. You seem to be at R2 or R2+. And how many hours have you spent on English? An average Japanese student spend several hundred hours before graduating high school. Considering you are an English major, you must had spent a little over a 1000 hours when you got into the college. And after that, if you are a good student, which you seem to be, you must have been spending something like 80 hours a month. I don't know what year you are in but this adds up to 2 to 3 thousand hours. If English is 5 times easier, then why aren't you at R5 already with that many hours?
I'm in no way saying 文法 is useless, I'm just illustrating how difficult it is to get to the level where one can read a newspaper, how 文法 is a technic to overcome that barrier, and that people may or may not need to learn 文法 depending on what their targets are.
And all this is not even the main argument. You conveniently ignored my question again.
>>527 >>Which type of people will ID benefit? Them or me? >Maybe you?
oops, you DID answer my question. I overlooked. My apologies for that.
So, this boils down to the question if I am more valuable to this board or those 荒らし are. It's OK if I am not welcomed here and you want those 荒らし more than you want me, but what do you want then? You want to kick me out of here and be an お山の大将? I think you are smart enough to know where your English level is at and where mine's at. You said you seldom come across people with better English skills than yours and I agree. There aren't many people with the level of English proficiency that you have. The question is, what would you do when you do come across one. Kick them out?
Sorry I was a bit tipsy yesterday. >What's the logic behind "few people need ID when they reach 30" then? I have no idea. But I kinda agree with >>521. I'm sure scientists might as well research 'in what age children stop bed-wetting' as waste their time for proving the logic though. What's the logic behind "your friend could bring his 偏差値 up to 70 *only by means of* thousands of 単語カード"? What's the logic behind 受験生's 文法 and 単語 are so different than your BBBB... then? Haven't you ever studied for college or high-school term exams?
>let me guess. You seem to be at R2 or R2+. Thank you, but my score was "Elementary". I guess 受験生'd score "Memorized" or in the worst case, "No Proficiency". Yours would/could be "Limited" (or worse, same as mine). Read the site's skill level description again. The scale is a lot harder than you think, so "you can understand newspaper" would mean a lot better. I don't know whether the scale is really appropriate for our subject.
>You want to kick me out of here and be an お山の大将? Oh no you are most likely to benefit the board and would/had be of my help. I wouldn't kick anyone out for his/her English proficiency, especially when its better. Do you really think all 反対派 comments were and still are mine only? And 反対派 don't even think of kicking you out, they just think the current number of 荒らしs is not intimidating at all.
Which thread do you think is the shittiest? Or a sequence of posts? Does it last for many months? Did you report it? Have you consider you become a janitor? What kind of posts do you hate most specifically?
See why I said "extremely formidable"? 受験生 are asked to do what takes people with 5 times more experience. They have only enough hours to learn to be "Able to read some or all of the following: numbers, isolated words and phrases, personal and place names, street signs, office and shop designations", and yet what they are required to read are materials from the papers and periodicals. Incredibly though, many of them do manage to achieve this implausible goal. How? With 文法 and 単語.
I did not say memorizing 単語 is "the only way" to achieve good 偏差値. I can probably answer most of the questions in センター試験 correctly now, and I pretty much did not even listen to 英語 classes when I was a student. I was always napping in the class and my 偏差値 of 英語 was in 30s. I did not take 英語 for the entrance exams. A twist of fate brought me abroad and I studied/learned English almost completely in English environment without any 単語 or 文法 study. So it is definitely possible to get good 偏差値 without studying 単語 or 文法, but it is not realistic to think that people will be able to comprehend the papers somewhat throughly without a dictionary after only 1000 hours or so of study if they take more "natural" route like I did or people at FSI do.
On the contrary to what is generally said about Japanese English education system (i.e. it being non-practical), I personally think it has its own merit, but I wouldn't recommend studying 文法 and 単語 to everybody in all cases for it is not the best way to acquire the ability to use English naturally. For example, the writings of most Japanese people almost invariably contain many strange collocations, misusage of vocabulary and/or abrupt changes of topic that give them a peculiar feeling.
Speaking of a peculiar feeling, I have a feeling that I may be talking to 2 or 3 people but I can't tell for sure as all the posts seem similar to me. This brings up another point. With ID, it is easier for me and other people to distinguish who is saying what. When the discussion continues this long, especially in English, it is really heard to follow the line of discussion, and ID will help sort all these posts out into a more organized state.
>>532 I don't think which thread/post "I" personally find most annoying is important. If ID benefits me more than 荒らし, and I am more valuable than 荒らし, I don't know why you are so persistently against introducing ID. Some people want it. It only hurts 荒らし. Then why not? What disadvantage will it be to you and all of us?
Whatever you say, I loathe anonymity and irresponsibilities of 2ch, Mixi and suchlike. Full of unethical, detestable excoriation and all that crap. Take notice of this thread, filled with execrable aspersions against others, those make me nauseous and misanthropic. There seems to be no panacea. I especially abhor when 2channelers post whatever they have in mind, to release their unhealthy impetus toward violences inwardly, so more often than not, that leads to blatant abuse. Some people post rude comments for the sake of causing commotions and abusing people, making the most of this stealthy measures to vituperate others. You said one has the right to diss others and one should, but you really are just dissing those who have different opinions from yours inasmuch as venting out frustration you'd have to endure everyday life. Look yourself in a mirror and think it over well girl. I'd rather masturbate than reading self-satisfactory English with a great deal of mistakes. lol
Really. Half of the reason I want ID is not because I don't like people cussing around. I just hate these situations where I can't even tell who's talking to whom about what.
>>531-532 Anyways, let me guess. It seems to me that you studied Japlish by time-wasting class, got very good 偏差値, became an お山の大将 however, met a guy whose English skill is way overwhelming yours for the first time in your life. Is that correct?
I'll tell ya once again. Studying 文法&単語 in Japan is a WASTE OF TIME. Becuz those are fuckin retardedddd let alone 5文型. Therefore you got to go abroad to study English if you want to be a real English user like me. Everybody tells me my English is magnificent or phenomenal and so on, I know that, and I feel you know that.
You got to realize that you are the one who never touched to a real English, and will never NEVER EVER be able to. Its obvious that you were educated only in Japan coz your writings look nothin but pathetic Japshit. Every single time when you communicate in English whichever speaking or writing, English speakers would look "huh?" and have to take a moment to guess what you are tryin to say. Is that correct? You are not standing on the same ground where I do. Nothing more to talk with you. Just fuck off 'n die.
Too many posts, too little time. Let me finish quickly as always.
I guess I have to take back ALL of my words. Sure studying 文法 and 単語 are totally waste of time, your way of studying was so effective it has warped your mind and I can not write English as Elementary as you do. Also, 荒らし is eminent coz we've got a good example here. I should kick you out, shouldn't I?
Here's a question you avoid persistently and a couple of more. Q1. Why don't you work for 2ch to make the board better place? Q2. I don't see how come you put the tripcode suddenly. What's the difference between 偽物 and 本物? You always say two words three many, and you two are identical. Q3. Do you rely on ID 100%? Are you sure different IDs are different individuals? I doubt it. IDs change everyday, and I don't know how the time difference(s) affect, or whether different computers in a workplace display different IDs and whatnot. The fact that you work in the US makes me suspect you'd abuse the system. Maybe you DID already. You came out to say what you really think deep inside (I sort of knew it, I believe everyone does too), abusing tripcode to convince me, didn't you? No freaking way.
Check this out. http://academy6.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/english/1235395105/519-522 The noble 519 guy in the following thread says it all. Coincidentally the Philippine pub idea 522 highly recommends is quite similar to yours however do linguists support his idea? No. His and your idea are called "immersion method", this somehow works in places like French Canada though, it has a notorious nickname "sink-or-swim", or all-or-nothing method. Almost all researchers now conclude that the method works between similar languages such as French and English, not between Japanese-English pair. In fact, due to 教育ママs/パパs who favoured the method for their children, many J-E learning children became "semilinguals", who speak both 2 languages insufficiently for their age.
If you still think 文法 and 単語 that are characteristic to a certain exam exist, go take HSK特級 or 中国語検定1級 or 韓国語検定1級 or DELE Avansado or whatever and pass it in a few months. I bet you can't. That's why I think it's NOT hard to talk to "受験生" or "英検合格やTOEICハイスコアが目的の人".
>>543 >Sure studying 文法 and 単語 are totally waste of time, Oh really? I don't think studying 文法 and 単語 is a total waste of time, I said there are people who need it and people who don't, but if you say so, It may be a total waste of time after all. Please keep in mind though, it is something you said yourself. Not I.
>Q1. Why don't you work for 2ch to make the board better place? Because I don't need to. Why do I have to? Do I need to "work for" 2ch to express my opinion? That's news to me.
Q2.you two are identical. Really? >>533=534=535 and >>539 look identical? Very interesting indeed. Then I sure need a Trip.
Q3. Do you rely on ID 100%? No, and why does that matter? It's still better than nothing and even if it isn't, SAME ID almost always mean same person and that's already a benefit as I stated in >>535 and >>538
>>544 >Do you still believe 英検 is remote from real English after all? When did I say so? I've checked 英検1級's sample exams before and found it pretty good. I don't think "everybody" should take it, but if you are an English teacher for example, it makes more sense than TOEIC do in my opinion.
I always think it is more important to actually use English than to practice for an exam, any exam, after you get to a certain level though. And I don't see why I should take a couple of random comments on 2ch seriously.
>Coincidentally the Philippine pub idea 522 highly recommends is quite similar >to yours I don't think so. Do you seriously think people will start writing like me after going to a Philippine pub for several months?
>His and your idea are called "immersion method" I don't know what the Philippine pub guy's idea is, but mine is not. I did not study with the immersion method. Just because I did not study 文法 in Japanese and did not memorize Japanese translations of 単語, it does not constitute the immersion method. Check the definition again.
> go take HSK特級 or 中国語検定1級 or 韓国語検定1級 or DELE Avansado or > whatever and pass it in a few months. I bet you can't. Chinese and Korean are unrelated to the topic. Didn't you JUST say the results of the immersion method vary depending on the similarity between the learner's native language and the target language? Aren't Japanese and Korean similar than Japanese and English? Also, do you have the data to support your claim? And most importantly, what does it prove? If I study 文法 in Japanese and fail, does it prove 文法 is useless? I don’t think so. It is a vast speculation, is largely irrelevant, and the worst of all, has no significance in proving anything meaningful. If above points are the foundation of your belief, I must say it is quite baseless.
Lastly, I have to ask you theses unanswered questions again.
Do you or do you not recommend I study 文法 and 単語?
Do you or do you not recommend 受験生 practice vowels and re-learn basic vocabulary with correct pronunciations?
>>526&547 Why not? ...In fact I said that in 527. You should've studied before you went to US. It would've made easier for you to learn English, or maybe did even though your 偏差値 was in 30s. 受験生 should too, before 受験 preparation. I know 3years is too short for many students though. Other subjects to study, extracurricular activities, friends and part-time job...
Geez, I don't know where to start next. >What is needed for 受験英語 and the real-world English proficiency are quite different. >While learning "文法", instead of "grammar", will give them the skills to accurately decipher intricate clause. In case you overlooked my refute as well, I'll say once again. Sure, there are weird English like "Should I repeat my words lest you misunderstand me?", but this kind of problems have almost completely died out, perhaps at the beginning of the 21century. Thus you have no reason to bash 受験英語. Get it? If you can, I feel like I can forgive and forget about minuscule misunderstandings you'd caused.
You said "検定命、学歴、受験命、の人達が問題だ", "英検が目的の人と話すのは大変。常識が違うから" As if you claim "'英検合格やTOEICハイスコアが目的の人' are too stupid for me to talk with". Now you say "I've checked 英検1級's sample exams before and found it pretty good". Yeah, the gap between real English and 試験 in Japanese is minimal now. So are the test-takers who are studying hard for those. I'm glad you finally understood.
>Do you seriously think people will start writing like me after going to a Philippine pub for several months? No, not at all. But at first you looked as if you deny basic 文法 study for 検定, 入試, all this and that. It's your fault. Your remark is simply prone to misunderstandings. It was you who engage in 荒らし after all, and I saved you from the negative spiral. Next time, check before you open your mouth. Better keep that in mind, OK?
ITT: 2retarded japs r claiming that each other is a damnass, resulting in an unending series of shit trolling nobody cares about since no one understands english here.
>初中級者 と 上級者 の定義 In my personal opinion, the border lies between 英検's Grade2 and Grade Pre-1 or TOEIC's 700 points. But anyone is basically free to visit any board, 中学生'll come to ask for a help for their HW and so on, so setting a borderline is obviously not a bit better idea than current style.
>>555 Nah. 英語のレベル差 has nothing to do with being 話題がかみ合わずに荒れる. How could it be related ! Use your brain. lol Read>548. I've proved it beautifully.
Besides, you should go to dejima@2ch or foreign language BBS if you think you are 上級者, if you are not, you can go to 大学受験板's English-related threads. In addition, "anybody is welcome" is the great policy of this good old 2dh BBS. If you think your idea will be able to change the tide, think again with your 低級 numbhead.
>>548 I wrote something like 1000 words about "why" and your response is casual 2 words. "why not?". I'm sorry, but this is not even a discussion anymore.
>You should've studied I know that 'I should have'. I asked if "I should now". You seem to have very weak sense of tense and time. When I asked if you ARE a 受験生, you answered you are an ex-受験生. I know you are an ex-受験生 if you are a collage student. Likewise, I know "I should have" studied, and that is totally irrelevant to what we are talking about. Tense is VERY important in English, so please pay more attention to it.
>but this kind of problems have almost completely died out Then why did you think >>539 look identical to me? It is not just very abrupt, but also it contains a couple of grammar mistakes, making it sound really strange. You should have been able to catch that, shouldn't you?
>>548 >I'm glad you finally understood. Good. Unfortunately though, you seem not to understand it yet. This is a Japanese issue. 検定命の人 in Japanese means people who are maniac about 検定 and it by no means addresses ALL people who take 検定. There is a clear and very distinct difference there.
>But at first you looked as if you deny basic 文法 study for 検定, 入試, all this >and that. >It's your fault. Your remark is simply prone to misunderstandings. Most people does not take 検定命の人 as everyone who takes 検定, so I don't think it is my problem. I also clearly stated 文法 is NOT useless >>529 and English education system in Japan has it's own merit >>534. It seems like you are not even reading.
>It was you who engage in 荒らし Simply not true. "検定命、学歴、受験命、の人達が問題だ" does not constitute 荒らし. I can say it in public no problem. On the other hand, do you talk to people like「黙れ」「口開く前に考えろ」「小学生みたいだな」in the real life?
>>548 Now, I must have written almost 3000 words, and every time I write, you just change the topic and start another groundless argument.
Asked if you are 受験生, you answered you are EX-受験生. When you were told I did not ask that, you just shut up and went on to the next topic.
You said you can prove English is 5 times easier than Japanese and when you were asked why you are not at least R3 level already, you conveniently forgot about it.
You said my method is called "immersion method", and when you were pointed out that it is not, you simply stopped mentioning it altogether.
You said the reason you don't think it is hard to talk to these people whose purpose are to get a good 偏差値 is because I wouldn't pass 中国語検定. I illustrated how 中国語検定 proves nothing and your belief does not have foundation. Not a word about it after since then.
You admitted ID benefits me than 荒らし, but you casually took back ALL your word. And the answer to my question for which I spent 1000 words were mere 2 words, "Why not?".
As I said, this is not even a discussion anymore.
I proved myself well enough already. If you think keep bringing up these random baseless arguments the way to prove yourself, good luck.
