> As for educating myself, I sure will. Thank you very much, Mr. Kwaku.
> I proud to say that I have taken advantage of the years Ive had with

> Mind you, my dear Mr. Kwanku, I have had me six good Americans

> I have to sign off for now and go sit for my silly examination.
> Oppppss. Wish me luck, Mr. Kwanku and all my foreign friends in here.
> I may need it.

Anne, as many people here know (smile), my wife is Chinese and her English is so good that they have hired BOTH of us to teach in South Korea. I have taught in China for more than two years and I am very impressed by the very wonderful students that I have had. I am glad to read your answer to Kwaku and congratulate you on the hard work that has led you to be able to write so fluently in your second language.
