Re: Is the English language difficult to learn ?

Missed a comma or two, but close enough . General gist of what was trying to be conveyed at least gets through with that iteration .

No, we just cut down trees to build parks (lyric from a Norwegian song).

I was a couple of days in Holland last week, and at Schiphol Airport there was a sign near the restrooms that said "Baby Change". Wonder what they change them for.

No smiley? Was that a serious question?

In the restrooms there are "stations" where parents can take in their babies to change their babies diapers .

Again, no smiley but I'd assume this one would be at the end of that last sentence:
