to get lectured on English by a German
If we were weighing people's opinion based on their native language,
which I advise against, German-speakers would fare pretty well since our
languages are so closely related.
Ime, foreigners tend to have a better grasp of English than many of us
native speakers, since we are mostly not taught our own language. I
learnt nearly all the formalities of English in my Latin lessons!
The two big problems for foreigners are our large vocabulary (since
we've nicked so many words from elsewhere), and (a problem with all
languages) where the literal meaning and what we really mean aren't
necessarily the same ...
Cheers,
