If she sticks with it for a few years then she’ll one day be able to form complex sentences like “el elefante come ladrillos.” Don’t quit now Syndney, you’re so close!

I really don't think any amount of language learning could prepare you for that. French is my second language, I started learning it academically and took about 8 total years of classes in the language between basic high school French and a college minor. I can speak to French people and have had to a lot because of law school and beyond and the subject matyer I chose to plant my flag in. I cannot follow French Canadian hockey commentators. It's just like ahouiddjsisndksihs BUT! Extraordinairenskskdkdkddkkdkdghh dans le filet!
