She always does such a great job of understanding and articulating the problems we have with the language, whether as individual learners or as a society. She's not a native speaker, but she is an absolutely excellent teacher.

@scandigonian Haha, I agree. We all learn Germanic languages at school (German, English, French etc). So after being exposed to a false variety it comes as a shock.

Actually I think grammar is insane in pretty much every language.

My grammar is appalling I never really mastered it in any language and o had English, Irish, French and Latin in school.

I still have the vaguest of understanding of what should be a unifying layer under all languages.
