I really appreciate your humbly taking "blows" here & there...I think you must be quite patient, which is a big virtue in my eyes, as I am not yet there...I was more as a child though...
Anyway, the problem with TF was also IM unsignificant opinion, that they tried multiple hard to cram English down the non-English-speaking
folks' throat...on the other hand understandable, given the importance the language has worldwide...due to the English "Raj"...with the result though that, stupid me
tried to have a mumble-jumgle conversation with my former mate (Italian) [now what was the English word for ????]... in English (even though we had years in TF plus high school English)...with the result, that our kids missed out greatly Italian, while we were in Italy...what a shame...to me Italian as a language is far more melodious than English...English just more practical...for commerce or otherwise...
oh yes..and German is good to train your dog...as the end of that joke goes...
