Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): writeaway, franglish, British Diana

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thanks Thanks for your comments, EngPupil. The KudoZ community will be glad to see your imput on the GE-RU and RU-GE pages!

You could also write: I spend much time learning English (or learn English in my spare time) and work really hard to get better.
British Diana May 30, 2010:
Another thing, EngPupil If you are really serious about trying to improve your English all the time, then keep on visiting KudoZ. Although your own knowledge of English may not be very good, I assume you are a NS of German, living in Germany and probably young to boot. Thus you might possibly be in a position to answer a question in the EN-GE language pair about something you know about from your own experience.
If you do visit the site regularly, you will notice that when asking translation questions the Askers ask their peers politely and afterwards thank those who have given of their time. If you don't do this yourself you will find that in future you will not get much help. This is a Web 2.0 community and it is all a question of "give and take"!

newcomer? Dear EngPupil
I think you are new to KudoZ, so may I point out that you should only ask for translations of terms, not of whole sentences. And if you decide not to award points for the best answers, you will get fewer people to help you, because it is fun to collect points!

English is a hobby of mine and I work on improving it all the time

I don't know how close a translation you want, this one is not as close as it could be..
The first bit could run "As can be seen in my CV" or "as is evident from my CV"

"The English language" might make it clearer, depending on the context
