IMHO the fulcrum of your parent's comment was exactly how bad we are at helping those in need, and the fact that we assume government regulation would fix our greed is the proof. Hasn't Shkreli' story shown us that medication

Isn't that the point of being in an Union, each one participating with what they do best and within their possibilities? You begin to take some refugees without complaining and sunny southern european countries give you some of their s

Get a native anglophone partner and go live with them, force them and yourself to speak in English exclusively, especially when you argue or when you do errands together. This forces you to simplify concepts to get your point straight at fi

Side note rant on languages: the fact that on Duolingo there are more people willing to learn made up languages like Klingon or High Valyrian, rather than Arabic, says a lot about how invested many anglophones are about opening up towards o
