Oh my gosh, this is over my head. Here is the perfect sentence:

Language enthusiasts ARE bananas!

(because they enjoy a heavy computational load on the brain!)

Once you get used to it it’s not really a computational load. And really learning other languages helps you understand your own, the best way to learn how we put sentences together is to learn how to put them together some other way. It also helps that most other languages are conjugated, it’s a lot easier to figure out what that adverb is modifying when it matches the verb in some way. And then once you learn that you’ve increased your understanding of adverbs in general, which makes you better at English. And Latin has the additional benefit of being where we stole so much of English from those Latin roots really increase your English power.
