Learning foreign languages
I've heard that once you learn a foreign language for the first time, it's easier for you to learn a second foreign language than for another person to learn a first one. Do you agree? What do you think; is it true or false? And what is your experience?

Another exercise on CONDITIONALS. Please, correct my mistakes! :)
Dear Shaun,
I haven't heard from you since I lost my job. I've tried to phone you but you don't answer and my emails keep getting returned. Everybody believes I was the one stealing laptops. Now I think I made a big mistake.
If I *hadn't been working* late that evening, I *wouldn't have seen* you stealing the laptops. I *might have spoken* to you first if the boss *hadn't asked* me about it early the next morning. I *would have told* him it was you if you *wasn't* such a close friend. Unfortunately, the boss knew I was hiding something and sacked me. If I *were* a better liar I *might not have lost* my job. I have one question for you: if you *had known* that I was going to get fired, *would you have told* the truth - that you were the thief?
