Dear AG,
it's very good to preserve your inner child. If you give too much space to the brooding adult, all too often this seems to lead to bitterness.
I studied English for nine years at school, and in high school I took courses in German and English literature. I improved my skills through several stays in California. But they fell asleep over time and so I consider reading and acting on Steem/Hive a real chance to refresh my foreign language skills.
The reference to my text should not be a "fishing for compliments", but was real interest. Now you have made my day - I am touched!
Best wishes,
Chriddi
Hi Chriddi,
Yes, our skills do fall asleep. But there is a certain muscle memory, and it seems to be working well for you here. I've always loved languages...even dubbed films in unfamiliar languages offer the opportunity to pick up a word here and there.
Writers don't recognize fishing. We all crave objective (though not harsh) feedback. It's a pleasure to read with an analytic perspective.
Have a happy, healthy Easter.
Warm regards,
AG
