Little help?

Ayo, there's a thing. I'm about to have an exam, final one and I see that I do have a trouble with formal form, I see myself as a kid who grow up with more of slang style. I mostly know English from songs like Ice cube maybe eminem and lot of others. They use slang in lyrics so is there anything that could make me sound more formal in front of "special people". It's kinda funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm sayin' stuff that she doesn't get easily, makes me feel kinda weird? maybe that's not the right word but I get it, in my school they want me to learn british english and I'm more of the USA fan right here. Anyway I'm curious how many mistakes I made in that short post. Have a great day peace out!

Ayo, there's a thing.


Ayo, there's a something I want to talk about. Ayo, there's something I want to talk about.

This is slang that I've never heard before, but I haven't been listening to new artists for a while.

Ayo, thHey, all. Here's athe thing. Hey, all. Here's the thing.

Keeping it casual but correct

I'm about to have an exam, final one and I see that I do have a trouble with formal form, I see myself as a kid who grow up with more of slang style.


I'm about to have an exam,my final oneexam and I see've noticed that I do have a trouble with formal form, I see myself as a kid whoEnglish, probably cuz I groew up witaround much more of its slang styleas a kid. I'm about to have my final exam and I've noticed that I have trouble with formal English, probably cuz I grew up around much more of its slang as a kid.

This kind of elaboration ("I'm about to have my exam, final one") is fine in real conversation, but it's better to be more brief while writing, even in informal conversation. "I do + [verb]" is more used to emphasize something after a comparison (for example, "While I run a lot, I do indulge in cake from time to time.") Used "I've noticed" just to avoid redundancy. While understandable, your final clause makes it seem like the cause and effect is you seeing yourself a certain way, rather than how you grew up.

I'm about to take|have an exam, final oneexam, and I see that I do have a trouble with formal form,language. I see myself as a kid who grow up with more of a slang style. I'm about to take|have a final exam, and I see that I have trouble with formal language. I see myself as a kid who grow up with more of a slang style.

- You could say "I'm about to take an exam, a final one". But you're writing, so you're able to edit your sentence, and you know what you want to end up saying. The more concise and more polished thing to say is simply "I'm about to take a final exam." - The auxiliary verb "do" is only used with a verb in the present when you want to be emphatic, such as when you want to contradict what someone just said to you. For instance: "You never clean up your room." "I do clean up my room when I feel like it." - Here "trouble" is a non-count noun, so it's not preceded by the article "a".

I'm about to have an exam, a final one, and I see that I doknow I have a trouble with formal form,communication. I see myself as a kid who groew up with more of a slang style of speech. I'm about to have an exam, a final, and I know I have trouble with formal communication. I see myself as a kid who grew up with more of a slang style of speech.

Final exams can be referred to as just "finals" Past tense of grow: grew

I mostly know English from songs like Ice cCube, maybe eEminem, and lots of others. I mostly know English from songs like Ice Cube, maybe Eminem, and lots of others.

Names of people need to be capitalized.

I mostly know English from songs from singers like Ice cCube, maybe eEminem, and a lot of others. I mostly know English from songs from singers like Ice Cube, maybe Eminem, and a lot of others.

- Ice Cube and Eminem are not songs. They're singers. - Capitalize people's names. - The expression is "a lot", not "lot".

I mostly know(learned / picked up) English from songrappers like Ice cCube maybe e, Eminem, and lot of others. I mostly (learned / picked up) English from rappers like Ice Cube, Eminem, and lot of others.

"Picked up" being a bit more casual and to mean that you naturally absorbed information (very fitting here). You wrote "songs" but mentioned artists, or specifically rappers

They use slang in lyrics so is there anything that could make me sound more formal in front of "special people".


They use slang in lyrics, which has damaged my formal style, so is there anything that could make me sound more formal in front of "special people".teachers and the like? They use slang in lyrics, which has damaged my formal style, so is there anything that could make me sound more formal in front of teachers and the like?

"Special people" sounds like an innuendo here. While I get you mean authority figures, it's better to just say it outright, because "special" has a very negative connotation to mean mentally disabled people. I'd add another clause here to make the cause-and-effect certain, because it sounds unnatural and unfinished to move directly to the "so" clause without explaining why that's necessary.

This is a question, so it needs a question mark.

This is a question (IS there...), so it needs a question mark Another option, "important people"

It's kinda funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm sayin' stuff that she doesn't get easily, makes me feel kinda weird?


It's kinda funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm sayin' stuff that she doesn't get easily, makes me feel kinda weird, y'know? It's kinda funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm sayin' stuff that she doesn't get easily, makes me feel kinda weird, y'know?

You should add "y'know?" if you want to make this a question.

It's kinda of funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm sayin'g stuff that she doesn't get easily,. It makes me feel kinda of weird?. It's kind of funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm saying stuff that she doesn't get easily. It makes me feel kind of weird.

- "Kinda" is so-called "eye dialect": it's meant to capture an informal use of language. Unless you want to emphasize informality, use "kind of". Another example of eye dialect: "gonna" (= "going to"). - Putting a question mark at the end of a declarative sentence is informal. If you want to express doubt in more formal writing, say something explicit like "It makes me feel kind of weird. Do you know what I mean?" Note that this is the opposite of your previous sentence, which was an actual question and should end with a question mark.

It's kinda of funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm sayin' stuff that she doesn't get easily,; makes me feel kinda weird?. It's kind of funny when I'm talking with my teacher and I'm sayin' stuff that she doesn't get easily; makes me feel kinda weird.

"Kinda" and "makes me feel weird?" are fine in casual writing but wouldn't be considered correct English

maybe that's not the right word but I get it, in my school they want me to learn british english and I'm more of the USA fan right here.


mMaybe that's not the right word but I get it, in my school they want me to learn bBritish eEnglish, and I'm more of thea USA fan right here. Maybe that's not the right word but I get it, in my school they want me to learn British English, and I'm more of a USA fan right here.

You say "a [noun]" when you're talking about being a fan of something. "I'm a Braves fan," "I'm an Eminem fan," etc. You should clarify more in the first clause, foremost because we don't know what word you're talking about, and secondly because "get it" could mean multiple things here.

mMaybe that's not the right word but I understand|get it, i. In my school they want me to learn bBritish eEnglish and, but I'm more of thea USA fan right here. Maybe that's not the right word but I understand|get it. In my school they want me to learn British English, but I'm more of a USA fan.

- Avoid comma splices, where a comma joins what should be two separate sentences. Look up "comma splice" on the web.

mMaybe that's not the right word b. But I get it, in my school they wants me to learn bBritish eEnglish andwhile I'm more of thea USA fan right here. Maybe that's not the right word. But I get it, my school wants me to learn British English while I'm more of a USA fan right here.

A bit clearer

maybe that's not the right word but I get it, in my school they want me to learn british english and I'm more of thea USA fan right here. maybe that's not the right word but I get it, in my school they want me to learn british english and I'm more of a USA fan right here.

Anyway I'm curious how many mistakes I made in that short post.
