I am trying to learn spanish as an individual goal, it has been a goal for a long time, I've just now gotten around to it. For some reason language fascinates me. As I study Spanish I've learned that in general we take for granted how complex verbal communication really is.
I learn more about English by learning Spanish as well. In the past, I understood bad grammar simply by hearing it. I would say in my head "that doesn't sound right". But now I can read something and describe in technical grammar terms what the problem is. Just last night I explained to my daughter that asking "how come the sky is blue.....?" is not proper grammar and that it is more correct to start with "why is the sky blue.....?"
