Our past is very important for it molded us to be what we are in the present.

for me, all languages will do. since it's not the language does matter but its the content does. for words are sharper than the swords. creates wounds that are invisible to the naked eyes itself and sometimes doesn't heal over time. a language from the heart is the best! =p

It's not stupidity to learn something new. Learning is a continuous process. Who knows there's something that you knew that they don't know. So you can share new learnings to each other and most of all, have a new friend. So don't feel embarrassed if you want them to elaborate things you don't understand. Just be polite to ask them to. You know, it takes a lifetime for you to learn everything. =p

Well you need to speak for you to be able to communicate. Speaking is one of the ways used for communication. =p

In my opinion, what makes a movie disappointing is our expectation to the movie itself. You know expecting to much and yet it didn't reach your expectation, it's so disappointing. Have you ever experienced that?

Yes. Grammar is an essential component in speaking English. It is a must for you to be understood by everybody. =p
