Fortunately I have had the opportunity to learn English in school. It was not my best class neither my favorite but these days I am happy about every snatch of conversation I can do in English. As a blogger and moderator in shrimpnow.com I have daily practice and try to improve my language skills whenever possible. Most people I am talking to are ashamed of talking English because they think they talk clumsy or incomprehensible. They forget about the best: The main point is that English gives you the opportunity to exchange ideas, beliefs, know-how and experiences. And this plus is not limited to shrimp keeping. Dwarf shrimp have fans around the world: One should not think that sticking to his own country or language brings our hobby forward. But lately, there is an unpleasant vanity in German forums: to think that German shrimp breeders will be in pole position soon. Germany = ‘Black Tiger Land’; how priggish! They will be brought back down to earth soon. Let’s wait and see who will be smart ass in the end.
