Ok but that is three words, what about the rest? Leaning three words is somewhat far removed from leaning a language. (Btw: I can’t grok your final statement in the parenthesis — it doesn’t make sense in English, what were you trying to say?)

It made sense to me: qbasic had good localized help.

It made sense to me as well but I can see how I got there and how I shamed the meaning of the sentence without thinking

> I learned English words like while, for and next from qbasic, for real (it had good help in your local language)

I replaced the word your with the word my in my head without conscious effort. I don't know if it is correct but it is kind of what I expected as I skimmed through the sentence.

There was an article or something saying when we read we can read fast because we don't read every word but rather try to auto complete as we go.

Oh right I see, yes it does make sense you’re right. I was really struggling with that last night, cheers.

The rest will come in when reading technical docs for libraries, APIs and such.
