Got any 5’s?

English is one of the hardest languages to learn and speak properly. Lots of foreigners have problems with it. The word “foreign,” for example, doesn’t sound like it’s spelled, giving some people an awful lot of grief!

The writing is harder than speaking. “Foreign” is an easy, uninflected adjective. “Forun? What does that mean?” “It means ‘not from here’.”

It only becomes difficult when you see the word.

Actually, I would have put those down in a game of Rummy 500, right?
