Though I spoke way too much english while abroad, I still find myself not always remembering what certain english phrases or words mean. The week before last I had to ask what concentric meant and now, I don't really know what this sentence means for my homework:
"Callicott suggests that Muir may have secretly pondered if species have inherent value."
I know who Callicott is, and who Muir is and what inherent value is, but does secretly pondered mean that he may have not been 100% convinced that species have inherent value? I'm confused...
And another thing I do a lot - is not know how certain english words are spelled or capatilized. In German you capatalize nouns, while the letter "I" is not captilized. So a sentence would look like this:
"Should i go to the Market?"
instead of:
"Should I go to the market?"
Hence the reason, why I don't have any idea what words in English should be capatalized or not. I mean, should "English" be capatalized?
Anyways.. back to homework I go. Maybe someday I'll figure it all out.

well secrectly pondered means that they have secretly thought about if the species had inherent value. and secretly means that it is like a secret. you could always look the words up on dictionary.com too.
