He also has a solid basic understanding of grammatical structure, which is apparent in his writing skills. However, he is very shy and does not like to communicate verbally. On the rare occasion he does speak, it is either laborious as he reviews and practices mentally to make sure that what he's about to say will be correct, or he becomes anxious and his speech is peppered with errors in grammar and pronunciation.
