Who would have guessed that by being a physicist I would end up needing a firm grasp of grammar concepts? My poor grasp of English grammar is making it more and more difficult to keep up in my German class...help!
I should have paid more attention in my middle school English classes. I guess there was actually a point to diagraming sentences....
It probably doesn't help that English grammar is so loosy-goosy. You can just tell the Germans to combine their language with Latin, Greek, French, and some random Norse languages, and they'll see what you have to deal with.
ReplyDeleteYeah, except that most people here already speak English, can get by in French, and studied some Latin as well!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't think they'll have much sympathy for me...
