Well I began some English as a second language training to help newcomers to these English speaking shores cope with conversational English. Our teacher, Mary Jane, was effective and entertaining.

I knew a little Spanish, however what we learned in school and what I was hearing was very different. I cannot imagine the impact the strong, local southern accent has on these people's understanding. It should be interesting....
