Hey, thanks! Guy who wrote the article reporting in, I just registered so I can reply. You're right, my English isn't the best (working on it, mostly through lots of reading, though I wish I had the chance to speak it more often). Either way, the story felt like an easy one to write because so many fascinating things happened in so little time. I'm glad you like it, it really means a lot. I'll make sure to jam at LD28 as well!

The Economist has lots of short pieces showing off a nice command of the English language (if you like word play and puns). Good reading material.

As for speaking: don't worry about that too much, but try to listen to spoken material or songs. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehension_approach)

I highly recommend the audio edition of the Economist, available to subscribers. It's the whole damn thing, 6h+ of mp3 each week. Made my bike commute into a politics and business briefing.

I'm curious about how you could tell English isn't his primary language. Are there any dead giveaways? Or is it something more subtle?
