("set" is both the past-tense and present tense of the verb "set", a weird english thing. But if you sit now, then you sat down in the past. Or you could just set yourself down. But if you sat down two times, that could be considered a set of sats. English is weird. )

(My only regret is that my mind could never grasp more than 1 language, and poorly at that. I took 2 yrs of French, 2 years of Latin, and I'd be lucky to tell you that "rodent" means "they gnaw" in Latin (from "rodere": "to gnaw". one of the few I remember because it is what it says ), or I could ask you if it's cold outside with "Il fait froid?" 4 years of study, shot to hell, wasted on me. I'm highly envious of your linguistic skills, to say the least.)

In other case it could just waste of time.I studied English in regular school more than 4 years. But after that I had studied just the alphabet, I would say. Because, in the USSR in that time there was no usage of English language. All goods were made domestically. No international films, no satellite TV, no Internet yet. So, no other languages were needed to know, except Russian.Then, I fell in love with... a computer. I had to read a lot of manuals and programming references. But it helped to study just technical words. I absolutely did not bother about form and tenses of sentences because they are unnecessary for reading manuals.Three years ago I changed the company I work for. Since that I have had to learn English, because in my current job I have a lot of email conversations and phone meetings with colleagues from other countries everyday. So, I could say that I study English just 3 years (2 hours per week). And now I'm trying catching any chance to practice in it.If I had had English language as my mother tongue I would have hardly imagined to study an another one.
EWAVR also claimed, that he do not speak English at all. But after a month he joined us in a discussion on this forum. Either he studied English for a month, or ...
BTW. I also insist that my English is very ugly and simple, despite Barney's lessons...
