    to be honest, i got plenty of foreigner frens
and they do understand my bad english
thus i think its shouldnt has a problem to communicate with foreigners even my english is poor
anyhow ur proper english will be useful for paper works
its not only wat i said but wat my frens told me as well

They're able to understand you probably because they've been here for a while and are able to understand Manglish better.
Your friends probably say that to make you feel more comfortable or they're just being friendly. What do you expect them to say? Your English sʌcks? You wouldn't tell a foreigner his Mandarin sʌcks either, would you?

    im so sorry to tell, first they are not here for long and they dont understand manglish
thats the reason they had really little frens here except the one from their own countries
second, i dont need to tell them their mandarin scks coz they dont speak other languages tho, even malay they also dont understand, u expect them to understand mandarin?
third, they knew me well, i dont mind if they said my english scks and yes they did said that to me
but compare to others, at least they can understand me
i knew u concern bout talking english with proper grammar and its a good thing for u
but for me i dont bother much bout it
anyhow there is no point to argue bout this with u, u can live ur happy life with ur proper english
and i can live mine with my scks english, as long as my frens understood

我是举个例子，不是叫你去对你的朋友说他们的华语烂，我都不知道你的朋友是否会说华语......
看到了吧？这就是语言造成的沟通问题......
OK，你所谓的“争辩”到此为止，你继续相信外国人不注重语法......

换个角度来看吧，碰到一个会说一点华语的老外，我们常会赞他华语讲得真好，事实上他们发音不标准，语法不对，用词不当..... 而如果他是同事，在工作上他有限的华语造成大家沟通上的问题，我们还会赞他，还会不在乎他语法用词上的问题吗？

    那个人肯定不是我。。我会纠正他的语法
其实根本不能相提并论。。英文跟华语本来就差了一大截
past, present, past continues这些是华语没有的
anywhere, as long as u r happy with it~
ok, grammar is very important no matter its in writing nor speaking, happy?

这和我的喜怒哀乐有何相干？
继续相信外国人不注重语法......这应该是比较轻松的办法......
