wow, thanks! i've been looking more and more into this recently and i'm not sure how all this EU withdrawal stuff affects it all but i'm really pushing to go to school in the uk either way. thanks a ton for your help, i'll look over all the links you sent me! i heard that it was close to LLanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch because my girlfriend's mum actually lived in Conwy so they were relatively close to both places.
vocabulary really is the best place to start. grammar is easy enough to pin once you get into the swing of it; it's just like language maths. i swear i'd be fluent in german if only i knew more words! but it's german so you can usually just germanify an english word and get by. i like when i pick words out too, though. although i also think it's infinitely amusing when someone who speaks another language natively says something english. on german radio, they say all the song titles in english and it always makes me laugh for some reason. but their pronunciation is always very good!
my teacher grades almost entirely on homework. i did my final, though! i got an A. but i had a C in the actual course so it balanced to a B. which isn't bad, i think! i'm a few years ahead in maths so i'm content with a B.
