The complete id##ts guide................

In response to games, dummies and a#al retentives (ESL_IN_ASIA)
Why we learn English is completely covered when an ESl student asks a monolingual English teacher the question...Can I go to the toilet please?
Communication is the basis of learning English, the foundation, cornerstone, what-have-you. Why we learn a verb tense is more of an intellectual exercise best suited to someone more intellectual or of high school age upwards. Perhaps you are an intellectual-ex-medical student, but believe me, not everyone thinks intellectually like that, some do, however. May you find those who do.
