A good point Harry T. Unfortunately, in many English speaking countries the teaching of foreign languages in primary and secondary school is very poor. Most secondary school students graduate without a good grasp of a foreign toungue (or even a good grasp of how English Works).
I admire your knowledge of Latin and Old English. Well done.
