In my opinion, learning a foreign language is a great time for learning the "whys" of your own language. <br />Re: The nun! I love it.

Other languages are so much easier if you understand what 1st person singular and 2nd person plural (the "y'all" form) are.jenhttp://grace-filled.netnoreply@blogger.com
