re, "DITTO" (to e's comments about learning curves, aptitude and learning a new language)...
i appreciate where you are coming from.
i would ask of you (and anyone else that shares this feeling), that when you receive a reply from someone here on the cl thread, and it is not in terms or language that you understand, please, please, take a moment to say that to everyone. the results may turn out to be quite satisfactory for you, as i am certain that every member of this thread who gets involved in trying to help you will do all that he or she can to communicate with you in such a way that brings enlightenment and resolution.
just don't give up on the folks who try to help. in a sense, you owe them the opportunity to make themselves understood. there is a reciprocity involved in learning, and it really only begins to function when the person with the question has the determination to say, "sorry, i don't quite get what you have told me."
