I already watch a lot of English series without any subtitles or English subtitles. The problem isn't common tongue, it's more the professional terms used in English. I think my vocabulary is the weakest part of my English.quote:Op zondag 3 april 2016 01:45 schreef Seven. het volgende:
Watch English telly without subtitles (lots of it), this would be a very good first step towards using English in a more intuitive manner.
As long as you keep 'translating' your English skills from Dutch, it will always be steenkolen Engels, you might end up in a position where you're not making any grammatical errors, but you'll always struggle with vocabulary and choice of words.
I started with Star Trek which is fucking hard work during the first 3-4 episodes but after that, Dutch subtitles will only annoy you as too much is lost in translation.

I think you really should repeat "I" at least 5 times in every sentence. Since you are studying in Utrecht everything will be fine, they are already accumulated to dunglish overthere.
Then work in England. That's the only thing that will really improve your business vocabulary.quote:Op zondag 3 april 2016 19:03 schreef Brammetjuh94 het volgende:

The article/book I am reading for UU doesn't seem like dunglish. It seems a lot more like a text a native speaker would struggle with.

Thanks! Goede tip! I zit al actief op Reddit, maar heb er nooit aan gedacht om dat soort subreddits te volgen.quote:Op maandag 4 april 2016 17:21 schreef LelijKnap het volgende:
Oh, trouwens, probeer voor een tijdje Reddit.com (ipv FOK!)... vooral de 'intellectuele' (/r/philosophy, /r/science, /r/politics, etc) zullen erg helpen...vooral wanneer je zelf mee gaat doen met discussies.
Ik weet niet welke onderwerpen jij interessant vindt, maar dit zijn nog een paar goede van redelijk niveau;quote:Op maandag 4 april 2016 17:22 schreef Brammetjuh94 het volgende:
