I think about the American language quite often when I am doing crosswords. (I do them in my car every Friday while I am waiting for our local food pantry to open.)
When I look at the clues, and guess at the words, I realize that almost every word we use has at least two or three different meanings, depending on context.
I don't think a non-American-English-speaking person could DO a crossword.
I assume EVERY language has the same twists and turns, but for Pete's sake, don't bother learning a difficult language unless you can use it in daily life. Immersion is the ONLY way to really learn languages like a native.
