It is very easy to sit on the tiger's spine, the difficult thing is to get off


This is what my mother says. It is true! "How can I teach you Bulgarian, when you do not understand your own (English) grammar"? - this is what I say to my students.
Adults in their forties, or thirties, they do not know what adjective means, neither - passive voice, or accusative case.
Is that a surprise?
A professor at one of the leading UK universities told me he had seen undergraduates, who did not know how to start, compose and finish a letter.

Have your say.
