The issue is that it's not taught as a language to speak, but rather to study and read. It has five declensions, numerous verb conjugations, prepositions, three genders, and many words that don't have a clear single definition. Most of the learning that was done included memorizing words, memorizing some of the somewhat complicated grammar, and reading ditsy short passages for the entire 3 years of learning. We progressed very, very slowly. I learned more in 1 year of German than I did with 3 years of Latin.
>>59761135
Latin itself isn't an awful language. It's difficult, but the way it's taught is awful.

As if that really mattered considering roughly 30% of the English language is made of French loan-words, especially in the fields that are actually relevant such as war or cuisine.

As a Finn I find English to be insanely illogical. There are more exeptions than rules in grammar, and pronounciation is just a mess. Words like live and live or lead and lead are pronounced differently, even though they are written exactly the same. Who thought that was a good idea? You even pronounce letters differently depending on word. For example accent is not pronounced as [assent] nor [akkent] but as [aksent]. Why can't you just pronounce everything just like it's written? Why make language so unnessessarily complicated?
>>59762613
> What would un Anglais know about cuisine anyway
>>59762534
You can't reach the level of murder the French accent is to your mothertongue.
Je ne parle pas Francais, un deus troix
I think it's the doing of USians. If I know correct they had a election about the national language and English won by being 1 vote ahead of German.
If not for 1-2 votes going for English that day maybe there would not be one dominant international language
>>59762534
Nein es war einen Franzosichen Trick
>>59762659
>Why make language so unnecessarily complicated?
It keeps plebs from trying to talk to us

>>59762707
>If I know correct they had a election about the national language and English won by being 1 vote ahead of German
We don't have a national language
>>59762659
Same problem for my people. Italian it's mostly pronounced as it's written, so at the beginning it's hard to understand how words are pronounced.
>>59762849
And does that mean there was never any election about which language would be used by the government and stuff ? They just used English by default ?
Like I said I just heard it from someone I really dont know
>>59762659
so... finnish's easier than english?

>As a Finn I find English to be insanely illogical.

>An urban legend, sometimes called the Muhlenberg legend after Frederick Muhlenberg, states that English only narrowly defeated German as the U.S. official language. In reality, the proposal involved a requirement that government documents be translated into German.[21][22]
We used English by default because most of us were English, Scottish, and Irish. The proposal would have made government documents bilingual, but Americans would still have spoken English

Hmm that makes sense. I used to think There was roughly equal amount of English, German people in US and some French, Italian etc
>>59762669
I don't know, have you heard the Brum accent? French English sounds positively sublime in comparison.
>>59763131
those are perfectly logical
>>59763335
>I used to think There was roughly equal amount of English, German people in US
In some states(Pennsylvania, some places in the MidWest), Germans were the majority. After WWI and especially WWII the Germans tried to distance themselves from Germany and so they ANGLO'D themselves hard, with last names changing from Schmidt to Smith, Braun to Brown, etc. German language use fell pretty harshly after that
>>59763243
Leck mich am Pimmel, Kerl.
>>59763335
Forgot to add:
There's a pretty heavy Italian influence in the New York/New Jersey area, Poles and Greeks aren't uncommon, and there are plenty of Russians in New York. There isn't much of a French influence except in Maine and Louisiana
>>59763437
>>59763509
Why did they all let them selves get anglo'd though ? They were white so it's not like they were being oppressed or anything right ?
I suppose today US would be a whole different country if they protected their racial and national idendities
>>59763436
sure m8
>>59763639
Nazis should abandon their previous evil culture and language in order to live in US
>>59763131
If you knew Finnish grammar, you would find it simple, flexible and efficient. An exact opposite to English grammar.
>>59763131
it looks very logical
>>59763639
>Why did they all let them selves get anglo'd though ?
There was some pretty heavy anti-German sentiment after the World Wars, so they changed their names and stopped speaking German in order to distance themselves from Germany
>I suppose US would be different if they protected their racial and national identities
It would be a worse country. Memes aside, almost all immigrants are able to assimilate and become "American" if they try to.
In countries where immigrants refuse or are kept from assimilating, they just end up hating the dominant group. Other than some of our shittiest blacks, that doesn't happen all that often here
>>59763786
Nazis were white and fairly democratic. Why would Americans hate them ideologically ? We know they fought them in Europe but it was a political thing and Americans did not do it for the favor of Europeans
>>59763852
If you were a native English speaker, you would find English grammar simple too.
>>59763922
>Nazis were fairly democratic
For all intents and purposes, Nazi Germany was a dictatorship
>>59763639
>Why did they all let them selves get anglo'd though ? They were white so it's not like they were being oppressed or anything right ?

Our royal family even changed their name to Windsor from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha because of all the anti-german sentiment.

wow I never knew German hatred was that big no wonder Germans literally allied with Ottomans against the West
>>59764270
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_federal_election,_March_1933
After Hindenburg or whoever it was made Hitler chancellor, the legislature had little to no power and Hitler essentially ruled by decree. I think executive decree was one of the powers given to him by Hindenburg, but I'm not certain about that
>no wonder Germans literally allied with Ottomans against the West
The hatred of Germans started after WWI
Turkish should be the new lingua franca of Europe. Why, you ask? "Oh my God, it's Turkish!", "Fucking kebab!". And you're right to believes so. But the language they speak is not matched by any in precise information, stupidly good brevity and fluid harmony. It's criminally sensible and intuitive
- Agglutinative
- No gender
- Inflexion is literally baby tier
- No articles
- Words are very rarely pluralized (the number before is the indicator)
- Very flexible word order (though literary, it's almost always verbs coming at the end of the sentence)
- Negation is simply putting "me" in the middle of verbs. Split the verb in half by pronouncing syllables and place "me" in the middle - gelmek -> gel-me-mek. To negate nouns, put "degil" after noun. "There is" = "var", "There is not" = "yok"
- Verb endings are 100% regular and consistent/intuitive
- Extremely phonetic - pronounce it the way you write it
- Stress consistently on the last syllable. You have a very, very small chance (loanwords) to miss the stress on words
- The plural is 101% consistent (either "lar" or "ler", dependent on the vowel that goes before - harmony - highly intuitive)
- Adverbs are made LITERALLY by duplicating an adjective ("slow slow" => "slowly")
And so on
Example:
Köpek - dog
Köpek - It is a dog

You'll probably miss English once Mandarin takes its place

Well, the world is just too stupid to learn Germanic languages. I guess thats why. English is pretty easy, even kids learn it in about 2 months fluently.
