fuck = mierda WTF? fuck means carajo, then fuck you means vete al carajo!!!

F= fornicate
U= under
C= consent of the
K= king
oh k ;)

It's all relative to the context. When the guy yell "fuckkkk" because he is late, it is like yelling "shiiiiit", it has nothing to do with any sexual connotation. But I didn't know "carajo" en espanol, in french we say "merdeeeee" for "shiiiit" or "fuckkk" we can also say "putainnnnn", it all means the same lol

Welcome paisagringo, anything u need to know, any question, just ask right?, anyone in here would help you w/ anything u need.

[PaisaGringo]

Thanks!

This is a lot of information on the forums.

Nice pictures too!!!

[Wilco]

hi gringo nice to meet you, I'm a gringo too lol

I think so many discover this forum while looking for paisas haha (me too)

People here are nice

[bucito]

well, i'm not paisa but rolo or cachaco or however you wanna call us, that mean for you guys that are not from colombia, that i'm from bogota and i'm very kind too, have a nice day

[Wilco]

Well nice to see you bucito, I didn't know the word "cachaco" hehe

[shampoos]

Wilco and Bucito, remember that cachaco also means "well dressed"

[Wilco]

oh k, so its not pejorative, it's rather a good thing ;)

[AndrewMack]

Nice to see that this topic is getting more ppl, keep it going!

[Wilco]

yes some times it dies, and reborn from its ashes, what we need is a big subject that would have PROS and CONS and make people yell at each other in english haha

[shampoos]

Pro choice or Pro life?

I'm pro choice if the baby is coming out with severe handicaps or when the woman has been raped...

The three ways in which abortion in Colombia are malformation, woman likely to die, and rape... am I right?

[AndrewMack]

Im agree w/ u Sheldon, if the baby has several deformations or any sickness, i mean, it won't be good for the baby to grow up whit pain, satanding all the critizices and laughs of ignorant people. It's actually a pretty controversial thing and anyone has an own opinion.

[PaisaGringo]

What's up in Colombia?

Shout out to all my Paisas amigos in Medallo!!!!

[kakashi elric]

i dont know much english i do my best

[PaisaGringo]

[Edarone]

Hello everybody, it's nice find people who wants to practice english. I hope this post keep going for a while more.

[L E G O L A S]

[Wilco]

hi legolas i'm fine, what about you?

What about everyone, are you happy in your lives, jobs etc?

I have a new job, all the time on computer, I get asleep in the afternoon in front of the screen, so boring.

[jcvr]

jejej... I understand you Wilco... my work is made 95% in the computer, so you have to get used to the rutine. Or if you feel you're falling asleep, stand up and do an active pause

[Santiago C.]

So wassup everyone, jajaja i don't even know that this topic exist :P is a nice iniciative for practice english :)

[AndrewMack]

Damn, finally ppl started to comment in here, such a lonely topic.

[◘DoN JhoN◘]

God day everyparty!!!

[triplehh]

I understand nothing

[AndrewMack]

yaaa, this is wht the topic's all about, practice. Keep it going people.

[bucito]

well, just to let you know guys, i learned english in canada when i was 14 years old and i lived there 7 months, then before i turn 15 i went to USA to finish my high school but i just did 1 grade and that was it, then i came back to colombia. my english is not perfect, but i can hold a conversation, my grama it bad, bad very bad, that why i think this topic can help me. have a nice day

[AndrewMack]

Yeaa bucito, I actually think that the hardest thing in english learning is grammar, most of us are really used to talk n write wht our own vocabulary, and like i said before, its cool that people started to practice in here, peace!

[Alets]

[Santiago C.]

well well well, this topic was left or what? :L

Lets revive it :P

[Toro7]

interesting, to practice our english althought only con write, it´s a good idea, to improve the knoledge of english.

[Diego San]

well well well, this topic was left or what? :L

Lets revive it :P


this thread is dead.

[shampoos]

This is one of those threads which were "in" when Denunciando started. If you look back in pages, you can see there were many people whose track cannot be found anymore. Hence, the level of popularity in this thread is low. Besides, "estudio y cultura" does not seem to be such an appealing forum on denunciando.

Anywho, it's nice to drop a line once in while here.

Cheers!

[Diego San]

Actually, I think the problem with this kind of threads is that we don't have an specific topic... it would be good having a complete place for English where one can post news, sport threads in english, politic threads in english and so on...

[DarkCrow]

Good point!!!!
Lets set some type then!

[shampoos]

Specific topics have been agreed upon before... but they occur only in the context of THIS thread. It's not like there are sub-forums where English can have its place. It should have one, though.

What about the administrators? Does any of them use English? What do you think their say would be?

For starters, how about just discussing a topic? Let us say...

1. Experience in learning English.
2. Swear words in English or slang we may know and teach each other.

[Wilco]

Ademas, such a section would be nice for non spanish speaking people :D

[Rick1]

I just found this thread.
to be fair I have only read a few pages but from what I gather it was mostly about people practicing the language and some others correcting them

I agree there needs to be some corrections if someone is lacking in their writing but I also think that it kills the thread when all you read is what seems to be put downs

people stop contributing and just stop coming in altogether because there is no direction either

I think more than picking a specific topic there should be subtopics where people can contribute in different areas being politics, society, technology, sports, economy and such

this has potential people, all we need is to move forward with it

very soon the language will come
nothing better to practice reading and writing and speaking than being able to interact with other and this is an excellent medium

lets take advantage of that and enjoy the thread

if anyone has any questions please go ahead and ask, I am sure there are a few people willing to lend a hand and help out

I know I am

I will leave it as that for the time being and see what the reaction of the people is before continue rambling hahaha
looking forward to seeing this topic revived

[Isidorito]

What's the point of this thread?

[Rick1]

I think thats the reason this thread is dead

there is no clear objective of what the thread is for

what would you like it to be?

[Diego San]

I think thats the reason this thread is dead

there is no clear objective of what the thread is for

what would you like it to be?

do you like sports?

that could be our first try...

another thing we could talk about is the English proficiency tests such as TOEFL, Itep, Mellicet, IELTS, etc

[Wilco]

Sorry for being off-topic but i'm angry against my (french) parliament today, they just voted a law that gives the government the right to blacklist any website they want on the internet, just like in China and Iran. Officially it is to fight against paedophilia and cyber-criminality, but in fact they are fighting against internet's wonderful freedom of speech.

I hope this government will go away in 2012 and that the left party takes their place :angry4:

[Wilco]

The news in english (I hope other democratic countries will not take France as an example for this ! )

"A new episode in French internet legislation — French ministers have passed a bill (http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://www.lepoint.fr/high-tech-internet/le-gouvernement-pourra-filtrer-internet-16-12-2010-1275995_47.php) (original in French (http://www.lepoint.fr/high-tech-internet/le-gouvernement-pourra-filtrer-internet-16-12-2010-1275995_47.php)) allowing the government to add any website to a black list, which access providers will have to enforce. This black list will be defined by the government only, without requiring the intervention of the legal system. Although originally intended against pedo-pornographic websites, this bill is already outdated, as was Hadopi (http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/09/24/0942227/In-France-Hadopi-Reporting-Begins-With-Only-10000-IP-Addresses-Per-Day) in its time, and instead paves the way for a global censorship of the 'French internet.'"

sadly, I think the whole world is thinking toward that kind of laws against the internet freedom.

btw... I just made this suggestion (http://www.denunciando.com/sugerencias-35/366508-sugerencia.html) and gladly they are going for it, so, hopefully it will help us to increase the participation in English on this website
