Dear Ismo, my favorite (?) confusing thing about English for foreigners to have to cope with is our weird-ass (yes, I've seen your spiel about 'ass') use of prepositions to create different verbal ideas. My nerdy parents and I had a long discussion one night many years ago about which verb could take the most prepositions to create new meanings. We decided it was take: take up, take off, take in, take after (which can mean 'resemble' or 'chase'), take down, take over, take through, take out (which at least usually keeps the meaning of take as in move from one place to another, unless, of course, take out means to kill...), take under (as advisement). Must be forgetting some... Of course, spelling is the other insane thing about English--even to English native speakers
