The joys of the English language!

[rebeccas-sewing]

I'm constantly in awe of the number of people in Europe who speak English. I don't understand how they managed to learn our language. So many exceptions to the rules. Where did they find the time to not only learn their own language but ours as well? Americans, on the whole, really don't need to learn a second language. Over here I really see the need to converse in more than one. I guess the schools over here put a greater emphasis on learning multiple languages.
