What is the reason that articles, which are necessary in the case of complete sentences, are otherwise left out, as in "That's a good question," versus "Good question," "I wish you a happy new year," vs "Happy New Year," etc., etc.?

I attended the community college in central Arizona in summer 2007 and I earned an "A" (plus but not factored in gpa) overall upon completing English 101 class that focused on rhetorics, Tennessee Williams and the movie "Pulp Fiction". The female English professor said I was the most sophisticated writer in the class, considering my 'old' age (28). I had written the bluntly critical essays on Tennessee Williams' homosexual identity crisis and read aloud the essay on the amoral nature of Pulp Fiction to the class. I simplified Pulp Fiction essay to make it easier for the class to understand, however I used the word "equilibrium" properly in the sentence and when it was concluded, half the class applauded. This led me to quip to the professor "maybe it's a little pretentious" and the professor asked the class whether my assessment is correct. Most class agreed in unison.

What are the best writers, living & dead, that emphasize simple, down to earth writing style & tone?

I know that there are some sounds that cause a lot of trouble for people who speak another language to pronounce. I was wondering which letters or sounds are easy for almost everyone to pronounce. The more specific you can be the better. Thank you!

When you ask a person if he/she speaks English as a first language,
do you say ' are you English ?'
or ' are you in English?'

I have taken high school French for about 4 years and Japanese for 3 years and about a year ago I stopped taking Japanese and I have recently quit French, because I hated it and was getting nowhere and I was finding the grammar very difficult and it probably didn't help that I had a terrible teacher. But I have found that after about 6 months, I miss learning another language and I was thinking about taking German. My mum was one of her highschools French as a second language speaking champions and she said French is only going to get harder and even more boring, so I don't really want to take it, but I was wondering about German? I can't pick up French again at my school and it doesn't offer German, so I will have to take nightclasses, but does anybody know from experience which language is harder to learn fluently and which is more useful? I don't know if I should take French, because I have some prior experience or German, because it looks like a cool language?

I take Spanish III Honors in high school, and I need a little help. Right now, we're doing the imperfect and preterite tenses. Does anyone know any websites that offer Spanish help? Also, I will give an example of a pass tense sentence, and can somebody tell me what's wrong with it b/c my Spanish teacher said it was wrong and she wouldn't help me b/c she said I should know by now? Here it is:
- Ayer, mi madre y yo fuimos al cine.
- Yesterday, my mom and I went to the movies.
Thanks!

I mean like the mother will speak to the baby only in..Arabic, for example, and the father will only speak to the baby in like French. Will the baby (newborn) grow to learn both languages? How about if the baby is living in U.S, how should they teach the baby English as well as the 2 languages?
Just wondering =)
