Yeah. Night. I too have courses of English for 8 years as of now.

Check this out if you have the time.

Frankly, you're doing well for a second language speaker. English is a very tricky language to get a hold of. As you can tell, even native speakers...make errors. :p

Best thing to do is do what you're doing- reading and using the English language in interactions with real people, like this site. Reading some English books, like even Harry Potter, will also help build an understanding of how the language is structured. Your vocabulary seems well-built. But the grammar rules (which suck) can trip anyone up.

China will most likely be one. If the US gets its game back on, it could also very well be one. But the way the US is going, it won't be one in 37 years.

China has 80% of the US's GDP, in terms of purchasing power parity. Didn't say it was a superpower, but it's pretty close.


It is not even close. A superpower doesn't just have a strong economy (incidentally China's GDP per capita is still very low), it is able to project power in multiple theatres and eclipses its rivals in terms of military capacity and influence. Only the U.S fits that description currently.

I mean, China had a higher GDP than Europe back in the 1820s but...in terms of power, they had far, far less of it. Indeed they were on the precipice of being subject to all sorts of imperial machinations by the Europans powers at that point. You are not using good metrics.

It's your seemingly derogatory "UN - EDUCATED" part that matters. And don't think an A+ also means you've bested everyone else.
