Nice use of calque. You don’t see that term every day!

Did you guys catch any fish? What kind? What was the weirdest thing you saw while rowing out in the Atlantic?

That light dance is awesome! Good on you guys have having such enthusiasm! Thanks for the dorado pic as well! All the best!!!!

I'm interested in why you chose English is Stupid, Students are Not as the title for your book. What makes English "stupid"? What about "challenging" (like any other language)? I tend to agree with a lot of the things you say in your answers here (people learn best by doing, instructors shouldn't focus too much on grammar, they should frame things communicatively and encourage learners to take risks and embrace mistakes) but (without having read the book) that title just seems a little off-putting. English seems like one of the most useful linguistic tools a person today can "arm" themselves w/r/t jobs, travel, access to information, etc.
