3 LANGUAGE LEARNERS

I

I no understand new words berry gud
so prease help me speek like reel person should.
I want to talk bout many things
but ability is week.
Also, most of natives talk to fast.
It's a big headack . . . you

II

Now confidense is growing,
though sometimes feel weak.
There are more things
with this language I can do.
Most speakers make good scents,
but others just move their lips –
ah, these ears itch!

III

At first my grasp was tentative
now it feels strong.
I've learned to wield language
as a versatile weapon
and express ideas in varied forms.

words can do
and moments when the best thing
is let the tongue be mute . . .
