NamJap, this is a brilliant post. There is no hope for the weary when it comes to the English language. You do not know how much I applaud any person who learns English as a adult, even a person who struggles to say just a few words. That is courage. That is bravery.

Repeating myself -- but Everyone who can should learn Gurmukhi -- not only is this the language of Guruji. But!!!! Every letter always makes the same sound all the time. And the grammar is very predictable. At least that would be one chance in a lifetime to have a peaceful bi-lingual experience.
