Home Forums Job & Work Life Broken English Broken English Name * Password * Email Speaking like a native? You must be kiddin’. I came almost half century ago, still I am frustrated with my English daily. The other day my six year old grandson told me I am wrong in saying “worm” and “warm.” In another occasion I thought my English is better than my wife’s. Way better! But, when I speak to the machine over the phone, the answering machine frequently does not understand. My wife has no such problems. I was depressed and felt defeated for a while. My point is that don’t spend your time if that’s not money’s worth. Look! I am still workin’ and my American friends call me I am funny. Your English is good. Cheer up!
