Cunning Linguists Languages and their use. What languages do you speak and why? What do words really mean? Can you say things in one language that you can't say in another? Should there be a national language? How many languages should a person know and what are they?

Default English help

Hi.

As you all know by now, English is not my first language, and sometimes I need help with it.

For example, I don't know how to convey that I am during the course of my menstrual period in colloquial English. Do I say, "I am on my period"? Or do I say, "I just got my period", or do I say, "I just started my period"?

This is one of the many things that you have to grow up being a native speaker in order to pick up, because once you are past a certain age the people in your immediate environment simply don't talk about anymore. Such as in my case. By the time I came to Canada I was too old to be having this kind of conversation with girls my age and the only person I talk to about it is my mom, with whom I speak my native language, and this doesn't help.

So, help me please.

The best thing to do is: show people. Just pull your pants down & show them. When it's over? Pull 'em down & show them again.

well jesse, all of the statements you just said are correct.
so congrats.It all depends on the situation you're in.

some one asks why you are so bitchy, you reply with
Quote:
I am on my period"
someone asks why you are all out of tampons you say.
Quote:
I just got my period
Someone asks why you are not going swimming, you answer,
Quote:
I just started my period
Of course you wouldn't want to bring up the subject of having your period in polite society, but if asked, tell away.

Any of the statements you said would suffice.

"I just got my period"

I'd refrain from using this one, as it sounds like you have your periods delivered to you via UPS.

The other two sound fine.

Considering English isn't your first language, I'd say you speak it pretty damn well. There is really no difference between those 3 statements. But kudos for the whole striving for perfection gig.
