| Anybody who's learned a language will empathise with this. It can be a hell of a slog and you have to be a self starter because nobody can do it for you. The great thing it isn't all or nothing. Every little step forward makes life a little easier. For me that's it's own reward. You might not earn any more but you'll save a lot of hassle!  | |

I think it makes a difference where you start out Nev. If you are in a well paid job where English is the working language then every little step forward is a bonus. If your condemned to "skivvydom" then it's the only way up and beyond.
