When I first came to England in 193

When I first came to England in 1938 I thought I knew English fairly well. In Europe my English proved quite sufficient.In England I found two difficulties. First, I did not understand people, and secondly, they did not understand me. It was easier with written texts. Whenever I read a leading article in The Times, I understood everything perfectly well, except that I could never make out whether The Times was for or against something. In those days I put this down to my lack of knowledge of English. The first step in my progress was when people started understanding me while I still could not understand them. This was the most talkative period of my life. I reached the stage of intelligibility fairly quickly, thanks to a friend of mine who discovered an important linguistic secret, namely that the English mutter and mumble.
