Oh, I never thought of it. This sounds too good.

But what about the options 1 to 4? Are they correct?

I would honestly say 4, and not just because I wrote it.

I know.

The options 1 to 3 was my childish attempt to translate :)

Gray my friend, if I were half as good as you are in any second language I would be over the moon.

Oh, you may not have noticed but I am already over the earth ... to our sun's nearest neighbour ... Proxima Centauri (kidding ;))

But to be honest, my mother tongue is too difficult to learn as compared to English. It is a different topic altogether but learning a second langauge influences your growth in the mother tongue -- both positively and negatively too. The guilt of not being fair with your mother tongue remains forever.
