I once took a course in Second Language Acquisition and Assessment. One of the course requirements was to brainstorm with a distant e-mail partner issues pertinent to learning a second language as an adult and ask questions for clarification and further discussion. What follows is my e-mail conversation with my Swedish partner over a period of five months. I hope you will find our conversation stimulating and enjoyable.
