| A warning to Newbies to this game. If you are isolated from other speakers of English and do not use your native tongue you may forget how to. Seek out opportunities to use your English from time to time with other native speakers or those with native speaker competence. Ward off Linguistic Regression, Dementia and Being Loopy ! |
