What is your English Look like???

As the students of English Program, it surely that we should speak English all the time, especially in college. To the lecturers and also the classmate. However, we are not native speakers, our mother tongue may be influence our English. Some weeks ago, I had started a new topic in MyEc in EnglishClub.com.

However, English is International Language, it is become an alternative for us to communicate to other people who have different mother tongue. It become a Lingua Franca in certain communities in the world.

Many people believe that because of its utility, English almost spoken in this world. It make sure that English has been influence by the mother tongue of a non-native speaker. In Indonesia, the structure of English sentence usually used in Indonesian roles. It is under control actually. The speaker do not realize what English that he uses.

It does not happen in Indonesia only, In Malaysia, the people commonly use English-Malay for their conversation. Also in Singapore, there is SingLish or Singapore-English. What kind of phenomena is this? Is it common happen to non-native speakers? So, what your English look like?
