Hello. I'm a chess player who doesn't english well.

Usually, I'm not saying anything in chess game because I cannot speak well and hard to understand what other player say.

Recently, I'm trying to hello in First place before chess game(Start to using english!). even though i'm not farmiliar with english

I'm trying to say "good game!" and It feels like not native or natural way

how to say hello in first place

alternatively thinking that : "playing well!" , "Have fun!"

Please share your first hello. Thank you.

You can say:

"Hey Bud" or "Hey", or "have fun!"

Or "what's up".

And don't worry if you don't sound native or natural. The important thing is to have a conversation and be yourself!

You can also use translator

이렇게 말할 수 있습니다:

"Hey Bud" 또는 "Hey" 또는 "have fun!"라고 말할 수 있습니다.

또는 "what's up"라고 말할 수도 있습니다.

모국어처럼 들리지 않거나 자연스럽지 않더라도 걱정하지 마세요. 중요한 것은 대화를 나누면서 나 자신이 되는 것입니다!

Good question.

Use mimetic speech. I learned that term in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Cameron, the Terminator, mimics people by listening to how they speak and how they move.


That is how Google Translate works by mimicking people as opposed to ImTranslator or Bablefish which are mechanical translations.


Example. French to English.

enter > come in

Enter the Dragon > Enter the Dragon

and not

Enter the Dragon > Come in the Dragon or The Dragon, come in.


It is a mimetic translation and it's the best.

Mimetic speech can be defeated by an intelligent person. A give away sign is that you are trying too hard.

Captain Marvel detected mimetic speech.

A perfect example of mimicry.

I use mimetic speech on my lady friend. She's about 35, just came to America.

I lived in Vietnam for 10 years and America for 40 years. I could hardly speech Vietnamese or know the culture.

I mined the vocabulary from a 1920's novel Cô Ba Trà. She's like a rags-to-riches Cinderella, Helen of Troy, super hoe of Old Saigon.

I speak to her in this style.

20 Questions. A old game where you try to guess a word by asking 20 yes-no questions.

gams: legs. Root of the word "gambit", to trip someone's legs.

smoke: cigarette.

Boyscout: A good citizen who listen to his parents and follow the rules like a little kid.

Copper = police. Police badges are made of copper.

Yoo-hoo: I just looked it up. A brand of chocolate drink invented in 1928.

Lucky: Lucky Strike cigarettes. A brand of cigarettes in the 1920s.

Sing like a canary: talk, give up information.

hash: hashbrown, grilled potato

dame: woman. Notre Dame, Our Lady.

steel bracelets: handcuffs.

the slammer: a jail where the door is slammed shut.

sucker: an inexperienced person who is easily deceived like a baby still sucking milk.


I just looked up "flat foot": Police officer on foot patrol.

If you want to mimic an American, watch those Film Noir and read detective novels of the 1920s.

You will be more real than real Americans.

Foresics Linguistics.

You're faking it.

You're faking bad English.

There is an inconsistency in your style.

You wrote correctly and incorrectly on purpose. There is no consistent style.

"to say" and "say".

with and without "a".

"who doesn't [speak] english well" is correct but "it feel like not . . . natural" is not, but "how to [saly] hello . . . naturally is correct.

"alternatively" is a rare word that even I don't use.


You, an amateur faker, cannot fake a professional faker.


Everything I said is true for those who want to learn a foreign language.
