gerbieI'm getting annoyed with myself, as quite often when rereading old posts I notice language mistakes. For somebody pretending that his second language comes as natural as his first that's not a good sign. Perhaps I should be less pompous from now on.

Compared to Russian or Spanish, I can see where English would be difficult. There are a lot less exception to how grammar works in those languages. It's a lot easier to memorize things because of it.

I was never any good at my Spanish classes. Working in the Dominican Republic made it necessary to learn fast though. Having to write my thesis in that language was the last step.
