Can you suggest good websites to learn English grammar? Or simply improve it?

Of course! Sorry this is a bit late. But hope that it’s still useful. My main advice for people who wants to improve their English is WRITE WRITE WRITE WRITE WRITE. Don’t use a computer, because of all the spellchecks and grammar checks are really accessible. Too accessible. Use pen and paper. Read over it. See if there are any obvious mistakes that you catch, just by editing yourself. Then type it up and send it to someone else. I personally offer personal editing services as a helper. I will gladly read over anything you may have written and help you edit, whether it’s an academic essay or an application to a RP. I will read over it and tell you what grammar mistakes you have made. It’s always easier to read someone else’s work and point out mistakes. Does anyone else offer the same type of work? If so, please comment or reblog this post stating that you do so. I would also recommend any University tutors, if you can fork over that money. There are many websites out there offering essay editing and tutoring services. Always good to find someone else to help you. But make sure that you are writing the material and they are only looking over it. Anyway, here are some resources I have used in the past that has helped me.

Next, I would really suggest picking a website that works for you. My mom used to buy me so many grammar books, but I always finish two pages and then abandon them. If you want to improve, it’s just about finding that motivation to get you going and be able to complete all the lessons and quizzes from the website. If you don’t like one website, change! There’s no point in trudging through something you hate. With that said, grammar isn’t something that’s very interesting, it’s often very dry. So that’s why I always recommend writing and asking someone else to edit for you as the best way to get better. If you have trouble understanding some concepts, look it up then.

Some Editor Websites:

Lang-8: It’s this amazing website that finds people to translate your text for you. In return, you translate something else in your native tongue for someone else. Never used it before, but highly suggested to me by some users. It’s free! So that’s always good.
Prowritingaid: One of those automatic editors online, so I wouldn’t trust it too much. But it gives you a summary report at the end, so that’s definitely something that WORD can’t give you. It also tells you things like how many sentences you repeated or spelling consistencies. With payment, you can go premium and ask a pro. Whatever that means! But check it out.

Some Grammar Websites:

SAT Website: Although the SATs has been the bane of my existence in High School, it has no doubt ingrained some of the most important grammatical theories into my brain. Hopefully, it will help you a lot too. Don’t just do the practice tests. Study the theories, learn the theories, and the reasons first. You can also sign up for daily practice questions. They’ll send you an email daily and you can have a chance in figuring out the answer. When doing so, always give a reason why you think the answer you picked is correct, not just willy nilly this sounds right. It’ll help you out a lot in the long run. They also have some amazing vocabulary updates. A lot of the vocabulary I have now is due to studying for the SAT. Sighs, don’t you just hate it when something despicable actually taught you something.
List of Interactive Quizzes: I have personally never used this website before, but it seems quite interesting. They teach you lessons and then makes you play games. It’s a really comprehensive list of rules. So if you’re really gunning to learn grammar from scratch, this might be a good list to work towards completing. I just looked at their vocabulary quizzes, and it is quite hard. But the other grammar exercises looks good.
English Grammar Exercises: This is taken from a Deutsch/English website. The grammar lessons are less interactive than the website above. But still very useful and helpful. Lesson than quizzes.
Self-Study Grammar Quizzes: I don’t really like this one because of how the quizzes are set up. I like to fill in all my answers before checking all of them at once. This one makes you do it inside your head, cause then they show you the answer at the bottom of each question. They don’t have lessons, so this one is definitely just a list of review quizzes.
OWL: I use this website for everything, especially when I’m writing academic essays. So many resources. So many essay structures. So many tips on grammar. There’s a special section on ESL. The material is a bit dry though, especially when it teaches you about grammar. Nonetheless, handy to keep in mind when writing essays.
EGO4U: Bright colors to engage you. The lessons are short and simple. No quizzes but if you’re confused about something, this website explains it really well.
Grammarblog: This is actually an amazing website that uses humour to engage you with grammar. If you’re bored, definitely waste your time on this blog. More educational than buzzfeed or 9gag, or whatever youths visit these days.
Lousywriter: Easy to navigate. The cheatsheets are genius! Very in-depth explanation for everything. It’s hard to learn it all, but the basic principles are still explained there. Works if you really just want to take your knowledge to a next level. It is hard to memorize everything on the cheatseets, but good to take a look over.
Dailygrammar: Partners with Yeah Write! Sign up for email subscriptions of daily grammar tips. Never used it. Doesn’t hurt to try.
Grammargirl: Cool infographics that engage you on some of the principles and reasonings behind the mystical English Grammar.

Hope that helps!

sincerelyrelle asked:

Hey, may you please give me some reasons why a teenager would get kicked out and also runaway from home? Thanks in advance.

I’m so sorry for the delay on this. No excuse but I’ve just started working and things are a bit hectic.

I just want to say that sometimes getting kicked out might not be voluntary so you might want to look into the actual motivations of your character. Is it because they want to run away and do so by getting into trouble so that they can get kicked out from their home? Or, is it because they have no other choice due to circumstances that they have to run away? So really, voluntary or involuntary might be good. Or, they might just be lashing out their anger and might not even want to get kicked out, just want some attention.

I would also suggesting researching at the specific place you’re building your character in. Simply because I know that the foster care systems work very differently as well as some child protection services around the world.

Also, there are a lot of diverse reasons why someone would either get kicked out or choose to run away. There are also a lot of ways that they can escape the “system”. So make sure you pick one reason and research into detail. Look up personal experiences in particular so that you can based some of your character’s feelings and behaviour on facts. It also doesn’t trivialize someone’s real experiences and in fact allows you to explore this more fully.

But here are some good resources that you can start looking at!

Hope that helps!

Hello, I'm the anon from yesterday who asked you if you had any tips or any links on how to write about a sick diseased not mental character. Since my iPad was being sketchy yesterday, I wasn't sure if you had gotten the other thing I had sent. I was looking for tips on how to write about character with respiratory illnesses, or a matter of fact any illness that involves breathing problems fever delirium, the whole nine yards. If you can help thank you, if you can't,still thank you for trying.

Hello! Yes I did get your message. Sorry for the delay, had to fly back to Toronto and unpack. I’m not well-versed with this but here are a few resources that you can perhaps look at.

I think the most important thing about writing a character with an illness is not to make it simply as a plot device. Try to flesh out your character like any other, and make the disease a factor that affects their behaviour which then triggers on mental health. You can make them tell everyone or not. Diseases are easy to hide sometimes and some people don’t feel comfortable as being labeled at that one thing, especially someone with a lung disease.

Second is to make sure that the discovery process of this disease is genuine. People often find out by going to the doctors after some warning sign. I know someone who has chronic bronchitis but didn’t even realize until one day in Drama class our voice teacher pointed out that she couldn’t breathe into her stomach. She went to the doctors and found out. So, make sure you research personal stories about lung diseases and take inspiration from that.

Third, in regards to breathing problems, they might be a symptom of some other kind of important disease in the body. So make sure that, again, do your research and pick a lung disease that you can understand and explore the experiences of.

Hope that helps!

Anonymous asked:

can you help me roleplay a fortuneteller? one who specializes in tarot cards?

Sure! I just want to warn you from conforming to stereotypes.

First of all, I think you really need to be specific about where your fortuneteller comes from. Different strands and types of fortune telling comes from different places and cultures. Tarot cards specifically originated in Italy in 1391. It’s actually related to Catholicsm. They were associated with the Romani because people thought that Tarot cards came from Egypt and the Romani were thought to have come from Egypt. These are all false myths. Tarot cards existed in Italy and France way before the Romani settled in these respective countries. Tarot cards are a type of playing cards and playing cards inherently are related to divination. Actually, fortune telling with cards were sort of interpreted by these three writers who thought it was fun to insert symbolic meanings into the cards disregarding the history of where the cards even came from. They also wrote extensively about occultation and the relation with the Romani. But really, it’s just false. The idea that Romani are tarot card readers and fortune tellers is a horrible stereotype that should really be dispelled. So, it depends whether your character wants to portray the eccentric vagabond in order to get money or someone who really believes in what they’re doing.

Read more about it here:

Which brings me to a second point, if I see another Romani character calling themselves Gypsy, I will throw something at you. Gypsy is a slur. That’s it. That’s all you need to know. Don’t use it. Also, please please please research Romani spiritual believes before throwing any sort of magical act for them. Playing a fortune-teller is great, seriously, so much fun! But please be respective of someone else’s culture and beliefs. Make sure that whatever you’re doing, whether it be tarot card readings or reading tea cups, you’re grounding it into something factual.

Read more about beliefs here:

Third, as seen from above, I don’t think that a fortune-teller would ever call themselves Roma, unless they’re trying to con you out of your money. Which is totally fine, playing a con-artist is fun on its own.

Research on these types of characters:

Fourth, if you’re playing a modern-day fortune teller, it is way easier to make her a real human being with no association to romani stereotypes, and simply make her someone who realizes the art form and is proud of it. There are academics based on the art of tarot cards, and you can make this person a scholar.

Examples:

Finally, I would suggest talking to your RP partners about their future plots. For example, if a character asks your character a question you don’t know the answer of, don’t make it up, just ask! Fortune tellers are there to guide you when you need them and really offer the counselling that someone is searching for. Therefore, it’s important that you build the relationships between the characters and understand what you need to say. By doing so, you can help others further their plots and build the reputation for your character in the fictional community. Also don’t be afraid to offer your services to other people. Let them know that you have a character here who can be a non-biased ear to someone’s character and a guiding light. A fortune teller should always be someone who is open and ready to help discuss problems with their clients. Unless, they are a con-artist, then plotting with other people would be really useful there.

Hope that helps!

Anonymous asked:

Hello! So I am absolutely terrible at arguing, but my OC is not supposed to be. He is way more persuasive and clever than I am, and he can easily win a debate, so how can I RP someone who is far above my level? I'm afraid of writing weak arguments that will make him look stupid.

It’s actually really easy to be good at arguments and debates, especially if you’re in an rp setting and can make shit up. :D Here are some personal tips from me on how to construct an argument. Remember the PEA! Point, evidence, analysis. Before constructing any argument, try to know what your point is. Try to write a topic sentence, as concise as possible, like “The Avengers will kick the X-Men ass in a battle located in New York City”. Evidence! Try to have at least three pieces of evidence possible in order to back up your point, and always analyze this evidence afterwards. “Because The Avengers have Captain America” Evidence! “Who really has a nice ass and no one can beat his ass cause he has the best one, duh!” Analysis! “Because Wolverine will totally help the Avengers. As seen in graphic novel blah blah blah, Wolverine’s loyalty lies with the Avengers and not with the X-Men.” That’s basically how I would do it in any sort of essay writing slash pseudo debate scenario.

Here are some links to help you with constructing arguments:

Depending on how you want to play your character, there are a lot of ways to be persuasive. Your character can be more intellectual, coming up with good points to persuade someone to do good. Or, your character can be cunning and achieve it through subtle psychological hints and body language. For example, if you’re drinking with someone, every time that person laugh, by taking a drink you can make them associate the happy and free feeling of being drunk with you. So they naturally listen to you more. Obviously, that’s really sneaky, so it’s up to your character traits on whether that would be included. All persuasive characters have one thing in common and that’s confidence. So as the writer, you have to be confident in what your character’s motivations are. Be sure that you know why your character is persuading someone to do as such. Is it because they always want to be right? Or, is it because they are more manipulative?

Here are some links to help:

And for playing someone more clever than you are, google helps. Really. I’m currently playing an electrical engineer and I have no idea how to even begin. But it’s always about the research. When a specific topic comes up like, building a tiny robot camera, I google how to build a robot camera. It’s legitimately all I do for every character. When I roleplay Hawkeye, I think I had thirty tabs open at one point telling me how to shoot an arrow and how to calculate wind direction affecting said arrow. So you know, bullshit a little bit, and google a little bit. Throw really long words at your roleplayer and it’s all good.

Hello! I was wondering if you could maybe give me writing tips on how to write a character who's in the Royal Marines. Thank you very much in advance!

No problem!

I would say just make sure you know that it’s hard to play someone in the army in an RP. Just because you need to keep in mind deployment times and how long they are away for. They can always be in the reserves but they might need a civilian job meanwhile. Are they retired? Voluntarily or involuntarily? Due to an accident? There are a lot of nuances amongst how to incorporate this type of character into a roleplay, but very fun to explore too. I know someone who is in the army but doesn’t want war. It’s really interesting to delve into the particular motivation of picking this career and how this changes over time. If they aren’t in the reserves than what operations are they part of? There’s a lot of research that follows through a current operation. But you can always make something off based on what you have read, in order not to offend or simplify a complicated event. From what I’ve heard, people in the army generally try to put on a different persona when they’re deported versus when they’re in civilian life, to help them keep things that has happened separate. It’ll be interesting to write about your character’s traits before training and deportation and after. How do things change? How does body language and behaviour change? Just some things to think about off the top of my head.

Here’s a few helpful links to what it is like to be in the Royal Marines (or the Royal Navy which includes the RFA).

Anonymous asked:

any ideas or links on how to play a character who acts childish and naive who is secretly anything but? i've played childish/cutesy characters and manipulative characters, but i'm having trouble combining the traits and they just end up more cynical and manipulative than anything. sorry if this question's been asked before!

No problem! Here are a few tips and links I’ve gathered for you!

Personally, I think you need to have a reason for the facade of being childish and cutesy. They could be childish only in public because they know that this person can bring them what they want. It’s hard keeping secrets in the roleplay because you want your partners to know the character well. But only write the cynical and manipulative as thoughts (in italics) during paras or just write self-paras. I’ve written a character like this before. And basically I use her innocent side as a character in itself. She puts on her makeup and dresses as an armour to protect herself. But when she is alone she takes off these performative things and becomes a different person. I also found certain people where she could be herself around, where this childish and cutesy syntax falls apart and she speaks with more advanced vocabulary and more complicated sentences. That way you can play with the difference in voice. I think it’s also a good thing to incorporate body language as well. By adding “bats eyelashes” or “pouts” or “shifts her weight”, you can easily add this childishness to the way the character works in public. You can also add clumsiness as a trait. I think it’s important that your character isn’t just being childish in order to get something. You can play it that they are always childish and it just so happens that by playing innocent and the victim they can get what they want easier. This means that you really need to figure out why they are being childish in public even though they are cynical and more than that. But this facade should be maintained throughout, or else the public will easily notice that they aren’t… really nice.

Anonymous asked:

Hey I was wondering if you could help me with something? I'm trying to play a character who's kind of an enigma and I was wondering if you had any tips on that? Thanks in advance!

Well, the definition of an enigma is “a person that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand.” With any sort of characteristic, you have to know why that person behaves a certain way. Is the character simply just quiet? Doesn’t like to reveal background? That’s why he is perceived as a mysterious figure? Or, does he do it consciously? Is it a facade that he builds up to protect a secret of his? Or, is he doing it for shits and giggles?

How is he puzzling or difficult to understand? Does he say one thing and behave a different way? Does he say things that no one understands? Like, Luna Lovegood. I would consider her an enigma because she believes in things that others don’t. But she’s not crazy, she’s still down to earth and loyal, she just has a different belief system. Sometimes her terminology confuses others. That could work with a kind of enigma character.

I would avoid writing the tall, dark, handsome stranger of the night, the bad boy or bad girl, someone with a deadly secret, or spies. You can write an enigmatic character without making him quiet and drawn to the shadows. He could be an introvert that is bright and bubbly when spoken to. But goes off to have side adventures that no one knows about. They can have light secrets, but doesn’t tease everyone with it. Wanna know my secret? Wanna know my secret!? Isn’t always mysterious. The most mysterious characters often hide their secret close to their heart, and in every way try to avoid talking about it.

How did your character get there? If you’re roleplaying, there must be a reason why your character decided to move to that place or stay there. Others might think that they’ve appeared out of nowhere, but you must be sure of their reasons.

Don’t just make your character “just” one with a secret. Once the mystery is revealed, then your character would have no more reason to be enigmatic. Your character might be puzzling because they’re trying to avoid talking about the secret. They might suddenly walk away from a conversation because they feel that they are on the edge of revealing it. Who are they when they’re not thinking about the secret? Who were they before? How did it change them? Develop the character beyond this one characteristic. To be fair, they don’t even need to have a secret. They could simply be someone who is different in the way they think and approach people. They could be way too happy all the time. That’s confusing and puzzling in itself. They can be really rambly and go off into tangents, and that’s difficult to understand.

Anonymous asked:

Hi, do you have anything on how to roleplay an android or cyborg that looks almost indistinguishable from humans, but is internally robotic? I have in mind a character that has similar construction to The Terminator, except she wasn't built for combat purposes.

Mhmm… Like David 8?

I think that it’s crucial to notice the difference of your robot vs your humans. What makes it different? Is it the way it thinks? Can it learn? Does it understand human emotion yet cannot recreate it? What is she built for? To fall in love? What is it’s goal? An artificial intelligence is programmed for something. That it’s motivation. Shy away from the robot falling in love trope. It’s not very realistic when your robot is only programmed for one reason. Think about Siri. She hasn’t taken over the world yet. Her job is to help the iPhone user by providing quick and easy way to the phonebook, safari, facebook, etc. I think it is best to start with the goal of your character before anything else. Isaac Asimov developed the three laws of robotics to govern his characters. If you came up with something like this, it would make the intention much more clear and help you with the way you play it. You can always take it back and if you are stuck, go back to the big umbrella. It will help you develop how the character acts and behaves.

Second, it’s a good idea to differentiate between a robot, android, and cyborg. A robot is something that’s definitely artificial and its form doesn’t distinguish it from being a robot. An android is something that’ internally robotic but resembles a human form. A cyborg is part organic and part mechanical. Let’s take I, Robot as an example, Will Smith’s character is a cyborg because he used to be an human but uses a mechanical arm. Sonny is therefore an android, internally robotic but resembles a human form. Therefore, when you are writing a cyborg, you are basically writing a human being that has mechanics in him. He/She would have the same feelings as everyone else, even though they might move differently or pick things up differently. If you leap even further, the mechanics might be in the human’s brain, limiting or increasing brain power. Anything like that would then change the way the character thinks, but does it change the way the character feels?

Third, what plots do you think you can take with this character? Development is important no matter what, but with robots you don't want to be stuck in the "good robot with human feelings" or "evil robot with no human feelings and just wants to do 'good' for the humans". A lot of robots are taken as creepy at first, humans are inherently afraid of what they don't know. Androids, cyborgs, robots all fit into this category. You can play a creepy android character, but remember that the creepiness is only perceived by the humans, not the character itself. How does the character see itself is also very important. Does she knows that she's capable of doing much more than the humans? If she does know that, how does this affect her relationship with everyone else?

I have a few links that might help you:

bittersillage asked:

What about japanese characters?? Do ylu have some tips?

I think a lot of media fetishizes Japanese culture. You can see it in 47 Ronin, The Wolverine, etc. Don’t write a Japanese character just because they are “exotic” to you, and you want to portray the “coolness” of the samurai culture. Big no nos. Do lots of research if your Japanese character is into mainstream culture such as Cosplay. Watch films that portray modern japanese characters (instead of this weird imperial historically inaccurate Japan that we are getting). There’s a great character played by Rinko Kikuchi in Babel that you can look at. I’m not too well versed with Japanese movies, but I’m sure that if you ask around and search around you can find a great list. (When I was growing up, I watched this live action tv series of Sailor Moon. Don’t know how accurate that is….) I grew up watching a lot of Japanese cartoons (Doraemon, Gegege No Kitaro, Arale-chan, Chibi maruko chan), so I sort of can see how Japan is portrayed through their eyes. You can check that out and incorporate these into your character.

Here is a list of media tropes of Japanese characters. Be sure to note the stereotypes and try to find a way not to conform.
