the keyword would be misunderstanding
with so many languages, a new comer to a language
usually (pronounce, spell, grammatic correctness++)
you know
if you ever talked to someone from a diferent language
you know you have to focus to understand the point they are making
unless they are extremely proficient in (say) english
like my mom, she grew up speaking spanish
now she has been speaking english so long
her spanish skills have somwhat declined
what i'm trying to say is, say you were in the middle of china
with 4 years chinese
and you went to a web site and was trying to explain what you
have learned from the college you went to
with only 4 years in chinese, you may have to restate yourself alot
