Re: weight lifting miracle today
Wow, I had to read the Tale of two cities, but I couldn't concentrate back as a kid, and would daydream when I read, so I got "C"'s in his class as a sophmore in high school.

That was another tough one for me as well. David Copperfield nearly killed me.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

For woods or forest, you say "les bois" or (ou) "le foret" with a hat ^ over the e (for^et) I think (je crois).
I may be wrong however.

No I do not. I have no language after english. My parents did not think it was necessary for me to learn my native tongue.

When I was playing chess I absorbed a little russian and a little german. But that was long ago.

Re: weight lifting miracle today
Did not do any travelling at all. Played in tournaments in NY. Chess books are usually written in german or russian and have to be translated.

Re: weight lifting miracle today
I think you should study a book for a week, then take a course to get the "sounds" down a bit, then read a lot more after the course, and then take a second course.

Re: weight lifting miracle today
Yes, I know that is true from visiting Quebec for weekends 12 years ago. Once someone pronounced tomato in francais in quebec with an "s" sound in it, which is not like France (paresian). I had her say it four times at the deli counter when she made me a grinder (sub). Really weird.

Re: weight lifting miracle today
Yes, they understand your basic francais in Quebec, but many times, you can't understand their reply is what usually happens. Sometimes I have to repeat and use hand gestures or try different words or multiple words with similar meanings to get past my (mal) bad (prononciation) pronunciation.
