Question

plz tell me about "PROBLEMS FACED BY NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS IN SPEAKING ENGLISH"

Answer 1

what do you mean?

Answer 2

One of the more notable examples is in phonetic differences. The r and l are related phonetically. In some languages, usually Asian ones, they use a sound that sits right between r and l, which makes it hard for them to tell if the sound of a word means it has an r or an l in it.

Answer 3

Another issue is the use of him, his, he, etc. "This is her book" vs. "This is she book" is obvious to a native speaker, but to an ESL learner, when to use which can be difficult.

I would imagine the difference for engendered languages would be the lack of gender to things in English. They see the engenderment as normal and now it is gone.

@Loser66 could answer better, seeing as how they learned English as a second language.

Answer 4

hehe, I am the right one to answer this question, tag me if you need an illustration for this field.

Answer 5

I think, the most popular (and, sometimes, really difficult) problems are jokes!
Any kind of phraseologisms or idioms are making interlocutor's speech so unclear. If you can laugh in correct moment, I think your language level is very high)

Answer 6

first off, grammar: (I just talk about my own experience ) To my country, we speak or write from left to right. For example: a shirt red. not a red shirt like it is in English
2nd, personal pronouns: we don't separate I and me, or she and her. That's what e.mccormick talked about. For example: I go to the supermarket and give I a book.
3rd, preposition: We have preposition words, too. However, they are used for verb only and it indicate to the aim of the verb. (Ha!!! I don't know how to explain). For example: I go to the supermarket, "to" is used to indicate to the place I go, that's it. From English, "to" sometimes, is used to link between 2 verbs, likely, I want \(\huge \text{to}\) do somthing.
4th, the Verb+ing: sometimes, it indicates to the continuous action, for example: I am working. Sometimes, it indicates to a active feelings, for example: It's an interesting book.
To my language, interesting is interesting, I am "interesting" at something or not interesting at it. That's it, I don't have passive voice for that. Like English, you cannot say I am loved by someone with the meaning of I am passively loved by someone.
Ha!!! I can give you many many more causes about grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and so on. Just stop here. hehehe.. enough for you to write a 20page research.
5th, the combination of Verb and prepositon \(\rightarrow \)other meaning of the Verbs. Ha!!!!
To my language, we don't have that grammar. take care of, take away , take down, take off. OMG !! different meanings for just \(\huge \text {one}\) verb. To native speaker, the mistake we get from this grammar is silly, but to us, we are miserable on it.
6th, prepostion "the" , "a". Too many and the rule to use them kill us. To us, it is ridiculous when we have to repeat just one word on the sentence. For example: (suppose things are indicated before) The professor gives out the handout to the students and summarizes the information he taught yesterday. To us, it looks like "I do this thing I do that thing I go somewhere I meet someone."without any semicolon or linking word. You guys will ask why don't combine them like I do this thing, that thing, go somewhere, and meet someone." to not repeat the "I". The same with us, we ask "why don't we NOT repeat "the" in the sentence?"

Answer 7

Loser66, you're completely right! It was nicely to read your answer. Where are you from? (If it isn't secret) )

Answer 8

I am from Viet Nam. I have class now, will discuss later. Ok

Answer 9

4th is the gerund.

Answer 10

there are a bunch of difficulties we have to face on. One of them is adj, to us, when describing something, just list them out, no order. To English, we have to know put adjective words in order. For example: I buy a beautiful 5inches width old fashion dark red Italian wood table. Ha!!! to us, that rule is killer.
