Since I'm the only non natural English speaker in here, I'd like to get some feedback about how's my english quality 'til now.

Until you say "set us up the bomb" you're okay in my book.

No problems yet... you're easier to understand than Dave for sure.

I think he's the boredest boy in the history of the world. He's spamming refresh. =) And to answer your question I couldn't tell that you weren't non natural English speaker. I guess I'm not either though. Born in America but my first language was Russian.

Your written English is better than many native speakers, Yino. I would say "excellent", in fact.

I have no clue what your spoken English sounds like, but if it's anywhere near as good as your written, then you're solid.

HA
If you would hear me speak, you would be more than disappointed.
I have some speech problems (just as you have your color blindness and you dan has his .... I don't remember the name) that make me speak faster than normal, so sometimes I skip sillabes. So good verbal speaking is a concious act for me.

speed speaking is awesome if you can perfect it.

I remember an old commercial for toy cars. Had this guy speaking ungodly fast. Really cool

Your English is grand! Like a staircase. Or piano.

Very fine. The only mistakes I've seen you make aren't nearly as bad as mine. And to Kara 'Ya govaru po-russki' (don't have russian letter coding memorized sorry), 'maclo' anyway.

Yeah, I would say you speak English very well! I also probably wouldn't have known you weren't a native speaker if you hadn't mentioned it.

So a random story popped into my head.

Back in '04 when I was on my Study Abroad program, we went up to Edinburgh for a few days during Spring Break. Anyways, I got sick and was put out of commission on the hostel bed... Dave and Amos (the guys I was traveling with) were talking to a couple of german girls. Anyways, they told me their master plan of winning their affections for the day, so I watched.

Later that day, Dave was laying in bed talking to the girl and said this to her.

"Your English... It's very well"

I lost my fuckin' mind laughing... I texted Amos (who was in the bunk above me) because I didn't wanna say shit out loud... Dave is the champion for that shit.

(Different Dave btw)
