I just have a few questions to this topic:


I don't understand why you said that you are dissatisfied (with your English) - I highlighted in red. Why did you not say "I am unsatisfied"? I meant unsatisfied, sorry, a typo
Here's the other question of mine: If one is not satisfied, is he or she unsatisfied or dissatisfied? If someone is dissatisfied, does it mean he or she is not satisfied?
now you are asking abou being not satsified, for me not satsified = unsatsified whereas dissatisfied is much more then not satisfied.
By the way I susspect that the thing with "not satisfied" is like with "impatient", "unhelpful" etc. one says not "helpful", " not patient" and so on, if you know what I mean.
