i'm not a person whose native language is english,so i can't speak english very much.that's also the main reason i come here for contacting as much as english.and so there's a question in my mind so long that would be need some more answers to share by the native enlish-speaker.there it goes:since there are more than 200,000 words in the dictionary relative to a wide various field so that no one can know them clear all,so in your life there must be many many words appeared in conversation,books,tv or any other situaitons which you guys have never heard of,but how you guys can know its meaning immediately?
by the way,and how you guys can pronounce correctly to those name-words you never seen it before(include people's name and trademark or something)

its because thats our native lanuage, most ppl may not know the meaning of a word if they hear it but if they want to know it they can always look it up :) Actually im going to have my kids sart on spanish and french this summer . I think I will do the whole family alot of good as well the kids education wise to know more than 1 language . Im hoping tha by the end of the summer we can have days where we only speak french or spanish :)
wish us luck!
