I think an issue for me is “tone”, as in “getting the precise tone across.”

Wondering why ICANN organization is lowercase o

01:32:51
Community too

01:36:36
How do African's express themselves in communication. I'd like to hear your opinion like the Russian example

01:39:16
We do tend to say a log

01:39:18
*lot

01:40:02
Yes, I noticed that my Latin American tendencies are quite close to what I saw in some African colleagues in IG.

01:40:02
So much background information, mostly because our languages are so filled with justifications

01:40:03
It would have been nice to know how Anglophone Africans express themselves especially Nigerians. But it's fine.

01:41:39
Yes, do send those exercises, as they should be useful

01:41:41
@Caleb, we your West African neighbours easily identify our Nigerian siblings from their accent and how they pronounce certain words (-_-)

01:42:23
I’ve a comment if that’s OK. Hoping my audio will work

01:42:35
Does it matter writing in first person or second person or third person view when you write formally?

01:42:45
>>>smiles..... Anyway this webinar is for non-English speaker. Let's be quiet :))D

01:43:42

Does it matter writing in first person or second person or third person view when you write formally?

01:44:18
I also have my hand up (:

01:44:26
great content

01:45:07
how long does it take you for being fluent in english

01:45:13
Most formal content should be written in third person.

01:45:41
Hi Benjamin! First person tends to be informal, but in a lot of cases, it may be necessary to use first person to explain a scenario — using I statements can also diffuse tension, so while second and third person may be preferable for formal writing, I wouldn’t say it’s a hard and fast rule.

01:46:05
and for a resume?

01:47:07
Hi Muriel! Everyone is different so I it depends a lot on context, but more practice definitely increases skills at a faster pace.

01:47:35
Thank you @Alex and @Betsy

01:47:41

01:47:43
