text: Chen: Hallo, wie geht's?
  Philip: Omg, do you speak German now?
  Chen: I'm attending a course, learning the basics right now
  John: Ok
  Chen: The funny thing is it's easier for me than Italian. I don't know if it has to do with having Chinese as my first language, but my frend Tao also finds German easier, so... maybe?
  John: Damn, I'd never be able to learn German :/ Italian is the way :D
target: Chen started learning German. It's easier for him than Italian.
