Lingua Franca

Because English is not my regular language, some points I needed to say is wrapped in my native tongue which then is translated into English. My English teacher used to tell me among other students that we need to think English in our heads in order to speak it effectively. It would be like having a pre-processor of everything before you write or speak the language.

Their are points in our heads that are just hard enough to explain thoroughly in English that, as it turns out, misses some significant points. The feeling is like trying to set foot on the sand while your body is floating on a body of water above your waist. Desperate enough to afoot against the current, you hover and momentum is just so difficult to achieve.

Nevertheless, learning the matter is somewhat an adventure. All my posts are experimental. It will usually take me several re-readings of my posts that I find them either awkward to read and needing reconstructions.

I welcome criticisms. After all, this is just part of my learning. After all, like everything in my work in IT, nobody taught me stuff. After multiple mistakes and discoveries, I can say that I'm doing well and just like any other endeavors, I'm beginning to set foot firmly.

(See not even the picture has something to do with what I'm talking about here) BUT, it's for you to find out the relevance, HEHEHEHE! Let's just say some stuff need to learn are tough as a game and we need to lighten up. :o)
