One of the sentences I used early on as a motivator for grammatical (not vocab) development was, "To walk around the Gzarondar Mountain is a chance to consider hundreds of features that keep this place unique in the world". This would come out as "You walk [...] is you can consider [...]" where the pronoun/article used depends on the formality (second person for informal). Adrian.
