Thanks for your detailed answer, Elanra. It was really, really interesting. I totally like the image of those old used dictionaries – it’s like a witness of your hard work, fascination and curiosity. Admittedly I have to say that I always hated it to look up words and I didn’t understand the importance of the English language when I was still a young student. I started to learn the language when I was 10 years old, but it never awakened my interest completely during my school career, although I chose English to be one of my intensive courses and started to like it a bit more then. When I started to study I needed it, because a lot of specialist literature is in English and it always came in handy when I wanted to read scanlations or subtitled animes…
But yes, it’s not only useful, it is beautiful as well. Although, the same applies to other languages. :3
Sometimes I regret my laziness when I was younger, especially when it comes to talking. I always die a thousand deaths when I have to take English calls at work. Writing is way easier and it gives you more time to think about everything you want to say. But now I also want to learn it better. ^^
Thanks to No. 6.
This series is so special. I guess it helped so many people… Thanks to it I found my creativity again which was lost in a monotonous rut of work and nothing but regret concerning bygone times.
By the way, “The Fall” is really beautiful. (Q_Q) Thanks for your recommendation. I totally understand why you like it so much. Even if thesexymaid is pissed now.
