Iwould like to learn a simplified version of english. it is enough to communicate with foreigners, and the traditional version of english is very complicated and seldom used. to communicate over the internet you do not need to know a lot, you need to understand your interlocutor. simplified english can be used in many fields. and if it seems to somebody that the simplified version is not enough for him, he will be able to learn the traditional version faster than if he has been learning it from the very beginning. this is my opinion on this issue, it may not be appreciated by many persons, but i think exactly that.

Little hans had many friends, but the most devoted friend was big hugh the miller and hans always gave his friend a handful of sweet herbs or plums and cherries in the fruit season.    hans felt very proud of having a very clever friend. rich miller gave little hans nothing anything.  but he had a hundred sacks of flour, six milk cows, and a large stock of woolly sheep.       in spring, summer, and autumn hans was happy, because he had some food, but when the winter came, and he had nothing to bring to the market, he suffered from cold and hunger, and often had to go to bed without any supper. and he was lonely, as the miller never came to visit him.      his friend miller often said to his wife, that when people were in trouble they should be left alone and needed nobody. it was his idea about friendship. and only miller's youngest son told his parents one day that if poor hans was in trouble he wouldl give him half his porridge, and showed him his white rabbits.
