Going to School in a Foreign Country.

Going to school in a foreign country is not always easy. Two things that mainly get in our way of students in foreign countries is usually having to adapt to a totally new language and having to take things from other students who may laugh at you when you may be trying to pronounce words you've never even heard of before. It doesn't just make us feel worthless, it also makes it hard for us to try and commit ourselves to strive to be better. It's not all about the students though; the English language has a big role in it too and the following shows a few examples that I found online of things that often threw me off when in English class shortly after coming to the United States roughly thirteen years prior to the existence of this blog.


As you can see, there are many ways to get confused when trying to find the plural of words and it can most definitely throw you off if a foreigner. I have to say for this reason that the founders of the English language could have done a better job although it has vigorously changed in the past few centuries.
