Languages (translated)

[Erich Kolenaty]

May be a translation is helpful:

Yes, it is an extra challenge to think, understand  and write in another
language. Especially, when it is not small talk.
Professional questions and answers always need precise descriptions and
wordings. This is not always easiliy to go
for me in english and sometimes has been a bar to participate in discussion.
But I am learning continouisly, thats the good news.

And it makes me feel good, when sometimes somebody notices and appreciates
that people from other languages have to take a little hurdle to be there.
(this might be one of the reasons why so few folks e.g. from south of europe
are on the list)

thank you and greetings to everybody from Vienna
Erich
