What we're saying here is that when you're speaking in English, try to 'form' your ideas etc. in English, and not in your Mother-tongue. Also, try to understand English expressions (like "go jump in the lake") in English, and don't worry about how they might translate into your Mother-tongue. Thanks for your comment. Hi Nancy,
