While adjectives always relate to nouns, adverbs (adjective + -ly) always relate to verbs.

Thanks for the correction.

Thanks for the kind words! :-) Actually, I never had any lessons besides seven boring years of English in school. However, I always had some affinity to languages. I started translating texts for fun, chatting with foreign guys in English and such. Later, I got in touch with Muddy Waters, who is currently Global Mod and somehow Head-Translator here on epvp. He helped me to develop a better feeling for English, and that's all.
As for me, translating is the most effective way to learn a language. You need to look up many words (you will only remember half of them, but it's something :-p), you need to know your grammar and given difficult pieces of text, you need a certain level of creativity (which I actually don't have lol).

It's still so annoying. Even better, this nomad guy has no posts at all. I doubt he was active in years. Anyway, I started dreaming about a new nickname months ago. Flirting with a few names of good ol' Baldurs Gate heroes :-)

Same goes for me - with the difference, that you were my "mentor", who's shown me the way to go.
btw. I died, when I saw that lovely picture of you, looking forward to get sloshed.

Only seven years? *cough* my whole school career has English lessons. Mainly because I'm from England, I wish I could learn German instead. It would be useful around here.

He actually has one post
Oh, Baldurs Gate? I haven't heard that game in quite some time, man...I loved that series. I think I played the "spin-off" one?
I think it's Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance?

The teachers chose you to pick either French or German, sadly, they made me do French for two years, I forgot it all -.-
