Strange Japanese English skills
I guess this article is maybe amusing and amazing for almost all the native English speakers. :-)
There are a lot of funny things which I found out when I studied by myself at home.
Of course, the articles, which I've already posted on this blog, are funny English, too. :D
Most of the Japanese who have just started studying English often make such the following.
Take a look if you have time.
- A is a native English speaker.
- B is a funny(?) Japanese who likes studying English.
A: Don't you like studying English ?
B: No ! I like it.
A: (confusing...Which one is right ???? )
B should say : "Yes, I do" or "Yes, I like it."

Haha, I think these little English problems are funny. When I learned Spanish, I had a lot of similar problems. You seem to be doing really well with your articles.
>>Ms.niltiac:
I'm doing well ? Thanks a lot.
But I sometimes(often?) make some mistakes.
For Example:
"When I drove my car..."
I had to write "When I was driving my car ...".
I've already corrected the mistake. :-)
