After reading the work twice, I have counted only two simple sentences: “Nor was this widespread fear a simple neurotic obsession” and “Victorians dealt with their uncertainty in two ways.” Both sentences contain a single…

In the accompanying article, “Learning a Second Language”, the writer, Meg Butler, mentions that students learn a second language through making flash cards and spending hours memorizing verb conjugations.
