That's always like this. If you read or (even if it's a bit more difficult) listen to it's easier to understand. Even in your home language - someone who speaks his national language very fluently will be understood by masses of people that can't speak so fluent.On 2002-10-01 19:00, zezappa wrote:
What I mean is that I think english (either french whose I've studied both at school) is easier to understand if I read or write rather than if I try to speak or listen to.
That's us humanbeings - we can understand a whole context not understanding all the words are in it. Otherway we weren't able to understand movies - they don't show us whole situations - only main parts (like someone is leaving his car and next we see him sitting in a chair of his house - we don't need to see his whole way).
Children understand their parents even if they can't use all the words we use.
If we write in a foreign language we can watch our mistakes and correct them before posting it.
