Rate my english please

After 3 years posting on GB, I think my writing is a little more better, what do you think? I'm interested in learning French (it should be fun) but since sometimes I think my english is far from perfect it may be a loss of time, I mean, I should be trying to improve it instead of trying some new language.

So, how good am I? (no homo)

I learned english just for fun and it has been really useful, sometimes some info related to my career takes up to 5 years to be officially translated, so speaking english gives you an advantage.

What is your native language?  Your English looks pretty good just a couple minor mistakes in your post.

Spanish, yeah the bad thing is I don't know what's wrong with my post, so that means I still need a lot of work lol. Thanks!

haha true but I would really like some honest opinions.

I would ask syntax.

I learned by imitation, don't know what a noun, verb or any of that shit means.

OP should say "waste of time" vice loss of time.

That woman isn't fishing for compliments. She's fishing for breasts! A visit to a plastic surgeon would seem like a better plan.

Man, your grammar is better than a lot of native english speakers. French would be a breeze for ya...it's like a mix between español and english.

Is her fly fishing technique good? The line isn't supposed to look like that, correct?

It's very good, there are a few errors in punctuation and syntax, but all together it is as good as many native speakers. It's actually better than many of the current crop of high school students here in the US. The sentence structure, inclusion of a few words, etc... give you away as a foreigner, but it isn't off putting.

Yes, so I've noticed!

Overall, you write pretty well. But since this is getbig and you asked for it, I shall critique your English inline, but I won't spend too much time on it.

After 3 years posting on GB, I think my writing is a little more better, what do you think?

I think that you shouldn't write "little more better?" Minus 3 points – one point per year.

I'm interested in learning French (it should be fun) but since sometimes I think [*] my english is far from perfect it may be a loss of time, I mean, I should be trying to improve it instead of trying some new language.

The struck-out "since" is weirdly placed. You should have used "that since" in place of the *. The comma in the green section should probably be a semicolon. The blue "it" should probably be "that" but that's a minor nitpick.

So, how good am I? (no homo)

Overall, pretty good. Certainly better than many posters here. I'd say that you have a few issues with some idiomatic usage of English (e.g. phrasal verbs) but that's expected (and accepted) even from native speakers.

Actually, I really appreciate this, I think I should join forums like "wordreference", it looks like they do this kind of analysis pretty often.

Haha "dook" fan...funny what River Monsters can teach you...

You're welcome – glad I could help.

I'll tell you that the most difficult thing in learning any language is learning to actually think in that language. That's what makes you able to speak the language with native proficiency.

I do not know Spanish, but I assume that sentences are structured slightly differently, and if that's the case it can be difficult to think in Spanish and write in English. I suppose that might be the root cause of the small issues, but the more you use and polish your English, the less those things will "creep up" on you.

It's funny, one way that I can spot people who use the language perfectly some people but didn't grow up speaking English natively is by how they handle references to certain obscure cultural references, children's cartoons, jokes or such.

Exactly! when I'm writing in English and I'm not sure about what should be next (which happens most of the time), I think in Spanish again and I end up mixing up both languages. I haven't noticed that, thanks.
