~~So what’s where correct? And what else to consider at your (English speaking) place?
Consider:
- I want that.
- I want this, too.
- I want the same.
I’m asking this (and that) since I participated a discussion with only native speakers and it crushed me. Apparently I am the worst English speaker anywhere.
Teach me things, Lemmy. Pleeaase!
Post scriptum: You may prepend your comment with a common, international country code to don’t fuck with me too hard.~~
I am struggling to participate in conversations held in English. Simple choices of words like such named are making me insecure. Which may contribute to the issue that other people have trouble understanding me. I am already trying to keep my sentences short and consume media mainly in English.
Additionally I hoped that countries with English as a second language could provide me with hints to simplify my spoken English.
I learned UK - English back in school; But this has nothing to do with real Englishmen speaking.
Current comments prompt me to revisit the basics of the language. Another task hard to put into daily life.
Can you give some more context for your question? It sounds like you might be replying to someone who just expressed a desire for something that you also want, but the specifics of the situation might make one reply feel more natural than another.
But based on nothing else, I’d say “I want that.” Or “I want that, too.” sounds natural to me, an East Coast American in the NYC area.
Also, looking at your posts, your English seems pretty natural, I wouldn’t guess you’re a non-native speaker reading what you write online. I can see some over-formality that I know to look for something deviant, but it’s not immediately apparent.
Thank you for your time taking a glance. Tend to correct every written sentence multiple times. I am struggling to participate in conversations; But the top reply shows that my expression skills are underwhelming.
