Gaming and the English language

We Swedish people have tendency to overestimate our English language capability. All native English speaking people here on GameReactor EU (are there any yet?) will undoubtedly see a lot of grammatical errors when helpful Scandinavian people are trying to write texts so as to make the appearance that this place isn't totally vacant. Readers will probably see a lot of singular "is" when it should be plural "are" and like most people who have English as a secondary language, there are bound to be a lot of errors regarding conjunctions and especially all things regarding the apostrophe and the apostrophe s.

Why am I writing this you may ask? The answer is that I have recently ended my studies to become an English teacher. After tons of grammar seminars, language proficiency tests and Shakespeare I am finally ready to teach the English language to Swedish pupils. This is what the university thinks anyway. However, I am not so gullible as to think of myself an English speaking, reading and writing expert. I still make enough errors in my texts to see that English is something I must practice on a regular basis. So why not combine my love of electronic gaming with English? It makes sense right?

Although I am probably not prone to post things on a daily basis, I will try my best to write a decent amount of texts here in GameReactor EU and hopefully make this place a little bit more alive. I hope to see a few responses here and there from the community and I will try to read and respond to your texts as well.

You can't go wrong with this book! It's pretty much my Bible when it comes to English
