Or do you think they know what he means and like the way he talk as-is?
People on this site are not very good negotiators. As I look around I see the same thing every single time
"Looking for 50/50 language partner". How come you never see anyone looking for a 60/40 language partner to get a little more time. Or a 70/30 split. Or somebody that drives a hard bargain, perhaps a 55/45 split, for just a wee bit of extra learning. Dont you think it's strange?
Language is not needed for comedy. A talented person can be hysterical without speaking one word. Have you ever seen the TV show "The Benny Hill Show"? If you haven't I suggest you watch it. You will be in tears laughing while they say very few words if any. Or the cartoon show "Tom and Jerry", most episodes have no words and yet they are very funny. And some of the old silent movie comedies or the famous Harp Marx. Moral of this thread? Maybe it's that if you have talent, language is unimportant. Or maybe it's that comedy transcends language barriers. Or...?
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
If Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Then I guess Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
Does that mean that the world is the root of all evil?
Can you guess?
What if you learned a foreign language by reading Science Fisction books, and then realized that half the words you learned are made up Sci Fi words about things, people, and places that don't exist. Would it still be useful?

I think more than 3 lessons per week is not only expensive, but sometimes hard to find times that match with tutors/teachers. For example for German, I have to take lesssons either very late at night or very early AM due to time difference. And professional lessons at that point would cost $60-120 per week. I think I could possibly do 2 community tutors per week if i found the cheapest ones. What do you think about the challenge? And will you try it?
