Dear David,
thanks for putting up this article that English is to too two tu toe
Tue twho tew x-ing difficult for kids to, too, two etc for kids to
learn (lurn,lern,lorn). I will be dealing with this very issue on
Thursday at ETAI in my presentation. If i don't get murdered along
hwy 443 thanks to tthe government's lenient travel for terror policy.
Regarding the article, If we could teach reading in 3 months instead
of 10, we'd need a lot less English teachers.
