At the beginning of my Al fandom, I was sort of familiar with English language. Since our University's Philological faculty supplies very high level of teaching foreign languages, English was the first on the list, since it is definitely the modern world's favorite. If you want to get some job or just chat with foreigners - learn English. Thought I.
But then, luckily, I started being heavily involved into Al's music, and I was absolutely speechless for the first time. I never thought that the language that is now starting to be Esperanto-like is so REACH, FULL of words and POWERFUL to express thoughts!

Needless to say, he improved my English somewhere even better than my University professors. If you look for my previous messages, you'll find terrible, unexplainable mistakes, mistakes that look pretty obvious to me today. And, I couldn't even count those great phrases&proverbs he uses in his songs! Especially those who are heavily connected with American history&events - "yes, Virginia" and others; not to mention just single words like "swoon", "shriek", and "sauerkraut", I still go crazy when I see them.

So, got any story how Al improved your English? I'd love to read about it! And the reason why I put it in the International section is, I'd love to hear WHiZZi's and RWDW's stories about the whole thing, since we three are supposed to be the only non-English speakers here. Oh, and our French friends, of course.
OE's among the first ones who invited!! Discuss!
