English Thread

In this thread, we attempt to learn to read, write, and speak English, a language which would be very useful to know. It is widely spoken throughout the world.

Do you speak English? Are you fluent? What resources did you use to learn? Can you give some examples in this thread? Posts some useful links.

Let's help each other out and learn a new language.

It sounds like you're trying extremely hard to make long, complex sentences, but it just comes out jumbled and confusing. Like the passive phrase "in whom the feeling of repulsion was implanted", that's nearly incomprehensible. Or the noun phrase "grammar serious consideration principle of education system of Japan".

Unless I'm misunderstanding your intent, it would be much better if you broke it up and avoided large noun phrases. For example,

"So I think it would be good if Japanese people learning English used Lang-8 to try and improve their English. Many of them have been bored to death by the strict grammar-oriented classes of the Japanese educational system, but language learning doesn't have to be this way."

This is a very loose translation (I am honestly not sure what you mean by "it is ridiculous to join Lang-8") but this kind of writing has a much better rhythm in English. Your original sentences still sound very Japanese.
