Yeah, I guess writing for this platform is quite different than a formal language school might teach. Although shouldn't they strive to be the same thing? I've spent some time in Europe and at one point even lived with a German family. They loved this little anecdote about the language school up the street. How proud the school was of their academic heritage! And gosh, how they managed to sustain pure linguistic lines. Just incredible! Thing is, all the students came out speaking 200 year old German. People loved it! It was beautiful to hear. But no one talks that way any longer, and the students were politely patted on the back as general oddities of a different time. I wondered if the school was doing a service or a disservice to the students?but here is quite different.
