The way I learned the English language? Sheer memorization! At least English doesn't always sound 'angry' like some folks say our German language does, with all its guttural sounds! <br /><br />Have a lovely week-end! Got to get the house cleaned today! Hubby was with the kids in PA for a month and I've been sick at home!
