You guys realize that English is the easiest language to teach and learn right?
There are tons of European counties where many speak English as a second or third language, and do it better than many in North America and the UK. There are also many who can write extremely well even if it seems that they can not say 2 words.
praise be jah. |

You're saying that based on what, exactly?
(This is one of the things I take seriously, sorry for being anal :p) |

I dare to differ
Perfect English, spoken & written, takes practice.
Europeans might know how to give directions, but
their accent is still thick. A good English education
will take your accent away. Trust me, |

For example: It takes excellent English to translate novels written in other languages. It has usually taken four to five translators to transcribe masterpieces. E.g - Thomas Mann (German to English), Marcus Aurelius (Latin to English) & Leo Tolstoy (Russian). |
