I think American English is hard to learn - it is inconsistent -
a lot of us use slang and idioms that make no sense when doing a word for word translation.

Some of the slang and idioms make no sense to us, either, when taken literally.

I understood your message - and your spelling and grammar are as good as some "natives" use of the language.

The suggestion that you ask for clarification of something is a good one.

That will also help us write more clearly and understandably.
