A mí no me cuesta trabajo, porque desde los dieciocho años sólo leo en inglés y eso son muchos años... Pero en Octubre leímos Persuasion en el book club que tengo con los alumnos y les pareció difícil... pero se apañaron.

Of all of these options, I'd rather primera lengua, which I propose to substitute the idioma natal that appears in the Spanish interface of Tomísimo. Since nobody until today has been born talking a language, we might think that idioma natal is not an accuracy phrase. We could consider change it again as soon as the first talking baby is born.

There isn't a single girl means no hay ni una sola chica (it doesn't refer to my marital status...).
And you say: this is great news.
