Episode notes
If you're writing, and certainly when you're speaking, on the whole, subjects are short before the verb. If you do it the other way around, if you put the length of a sentence before the verb, it immediately gets difficult to understand or more difficult to process as it were. That kind of long thing is disturbing and not only in speech, but in writing too. Don't front load the sentences for early learners. Or I guess the same thing would apply to early adult learners as well. You know, keep the sentences as natural as possible by keeping the subjects short.
