Yes, don't feel bad. Despite speaking, reading, and writing a
language (English) for over 20 years, I can't understand a single
sentence of Turkish.

Scheme is not hard to learn if you want to learn it. If you make no
attempt to learn it, then you obviously won't understand it! We have
contributers writing scheme who haven't taken a single CS class, let
alone getting a degree in the subject. I have no problem with Jiri's
initial request for help, but don't claim that scheme is hard to
learn.
Now Graham, you know I never once claimed it was hard to learn.
