[QUOTE="Jackson Ellis, post: 1011775, member: 70795"] Hugh - My senior year of high school - all the way back in '88 - we had an exchange student from what was then Yugoslavia. He was he same age as us, and he spoke English with an accent, but with no problems as far as searching for the right word or using the wrong verb tense. His only problems were hearing English with a southern accent, slang, and Imperial units in math and science classes. He found our math (differential equations), science, lit, history, etc. easy. In math, he would skip over several steps that he did in his head. It was cool to watch. I don't remember if he was considered an excellent student in his country; I assume you have to be pretty good to get into the exchange program. But he was a cut-up, a troublemaker, and liked to chase girls, so math wasn't the first thing on his mind. [/QUOTE]
