I've never heard you speak but you write very well. Maybe the fact that you have worked so hard to speak so well has you a little over sensitive to our right to mis-use language however we see fit.
Personally I am impressed with anyone who can learn a second language, especially after the age of ten. I am trying to do it and gaining very little ground.

Its not too hard in the right situation.....I speak two languages fluently.(english and Italian)..and two not very fluently but enough to get by..(french and Spanish).....
I can only write in one of those...(english) but can read in three others.
I the second language I learned without and schooling in it..which is why I never learned to write it. One of the not so fluent ones I had in Highschool.(french).and the other I can read fairly well and understand it but have trouble answering it (spanish).
True the situation is very important in learning the language and for me the classroom is the hardest way to pick it up. Total imersion is the easiest and fastest method
