Here in Brazil, learning English at school is reviewing the verb To Be all the time. If you get lucky, you can learn some verbs in the present, past and gerund. That's why attending a language course is the thing to do.
It has been a long time I don't go to school anymore. I went to college, improved my English in an intensive English program in Boston, I attended Miami Ad School in USA (Miami Beach, San Francisco and internship programs in Chicago and New York City). On June 14th, I'll finish my basic Russian program. I learned some words, expressions and a new alphabet.
On my 9th class, I learned that in Russian, there isn't the verb To Be in the present. Afters years of learning the verb To Be in English, I get the notice that there isn't the verb To Be in Russian, in the present.
So, what am I in Russian? I Brazilian. Where am I in Russian? I Brazil. It seems in Russian I was and I will be, but I am not. In Russian, I eat, I drink, I think, I speak, I listen, I dream, I make, I play, I know, I show, I ... I ... I ..., but never I am.
I don't see it was the end of the world, because I'll have more space in my mind to Russian words, a language that as long as it gets complicated, it sounds beautiful :)
