English learning Have you ever felt that the more you study a foreing language, the more you like your mother tongue? That is what happens to me with English. Do not get me wrong: English is my favourite foreing language but, as I am so accustomed to speak with gender and numer for everything (niña alta, coche caro) and with a verb form for each person (yo tengo, ellos/as tienen) that I find English grammar rather simple (which is good as it is much easier to study). I love English. I feel it is a very beautiful language and sometimes I find it rather challenging. The question opening this text is to say that while studying English I eventually realized that without gender and number and without verb form for each person you can communicate perfectly as well. Two options: either English is very simple or Spanish is too tricky and we could do without so much grammar. Anyway, I by no means will never give up studying English because I love to communicate in this language. Right now I am enjoying writing this :), and when the opportunity arises I speak in English as much as I can.

Have you ever felt that the more you study a foreign language, the more you like your mother tongue? That is what happens to me with English. Do not get me wrong: English is my favourite foreign language but, as I am so accustomed to speaking with gender and number for everything (niña alta, coche caro) and with a verb form for each person (yo tengo, ellos/as tienen) that I find English grammar rather simple. (Which is good as it is much easier to study.) I love English. I feel it is a very beautiful language and sometimes I find it rather challenging. The question opening this text is to say that while studying English I eventually realized that without gender and number and without verb forms for each person you can communicate perfectly as well. Two options: either English is very simple or Spanish is too tricky and we could do without so much grammar. Anyway, I by no means will ever give up studying English because I love to communicate in this language. Right now I am enjoying writing this :), and when the opportunity arises I speak in English as much as I can.

Comment:  One of the differences between English and Spanish is that in English double negatives are grammatically incorrect whereas in Spanish they are correct.  You could have said ¨Anyway, I will never give up..¨  or do it the way I corrected it, but when you put ¨no¨ and ¨never¨ in the same sentence it is incorrect in English.    My spell checker shows favourite as being misspelled, but I think in British English it is correct.
