Hi Almaz,

how interesting !

Learning languages is always useful because it is not only being able to speak several lanuguages but it is understanding in a really better and open-minded way other peoples !

I think that I am very lucky as I teach Latin languages (Italian & French) and a Saxon one (English) and I have noticed interesting and puzzling ways to build sentences, to use prepositions and ideas... A very rich means of improving the general way of thinking.

Hugs to all and a very good Monday.

Maryse.
