ESL or English as a Second Language, is when English is not the primary or first language.[1] ESL can be detected when you read it (if you're an EFL).

When you write like an ESL, particularly like a person who is from a certain culture such as India, it can serve as a form of bait; this is because Americans can't help but point out the ESL and derail the thread.

Things ESL speakers do[edit | edit source]

  • Word order: The order of words in English is different from other languages because English uses SVO (Cobson posts gems). Only 41% of all the world's languages follow this word order, while 45% follow SOV (Cobson gems posts) word order, so ESL speakers struggle a lot with putting the correct words to form a sentence with proper grammar.
  • Verb tense: When an ESL speaks, he has trouble using verbs correctly, such as using irregular verbs or verb form that, in their first language, are different.
  • Subject-verb agreement: ESL learners may struggle with correctly matching the subject of the sentence with the appropriate verb formage.
  • Pronoun usage: Sometime ESL learners can use pronouns incorrectly (using "I" instead of "me") or not say pronouns completely.
  • Articles: ESL learners may have trouble using "a", "an", or "the" correctly, especially since some languages do not have these articles.
  • Prepositions: When an ESL learner talks, they may use a preposition that is wrong, or use it unnecessarily.
  • Plural and possessive forms: ESL learners may have trouble forming plurals and possessives, especially with irregular nouns.
    Example of ESL on the sharty that is used as satire. In this case it is used when talking about the impact of FNF upon the economy.
  • Adjective and adverb placement: ESL learners may place adjectives and adverbs in the wrong position in a sentence.
  • False cognates: ESL learners may confuse words that look similar in their first language and English, but have different meanings.
  • Idioms and Slang: An ESL learner may find it difficult to learn slang because their meanings are dependent on context and in most cases do not have a direct translation in their first language.
  • Saying: "I deeply apologise for my poor English. I promise, from now on, my English will be much better."
  • They often use Google Translate to write in English.
  • ESL learners usually live in Mexico or India.
