I'm only in Week 3 here, guy. And having weird interefrences fomr opther languages...French obviously seeps in. For example "Creo que no" arrived crystal clear, and suddenly up seeped "Je pense que non," a construct that I wrestled with for a long time, my brain resisting the que clause construction. We are learning to always use the peronsal pronoun (as training wheels), so every time we say "Yo" I write "You" and my brains says "я" and shortcircuits, switcing briefly to Russian, then disintegrating into a Babel of words. Same thing with numbers: tell me a year "1721," say, and m ybrain saysmountains of words suddenly releaed from syntax, defintion, or any osrt of rule ...ai, ai, ai
