A second language - oh what fun,
To start to learn another one.
New sounds for letters to be learnt,
Which looked the same, but really weren't
New rules of grammar that might appear
Far from logical or clear.
Different ways of joining words,
The basic rule that undergirds
Their way of thinking, which may be
One that seems quite strange to me.
So much to learn, but once begun,
I'll keep on till the battle's won,
And after quite some time has passed
I feel quite confident at last
To speak to people, sure that I
In their own language can get by.
