English is a simple language, only the French spelling kind of sucks.
>english
>difficult
I learned it completely on my own, never devoting more then 30-40 minutes to it per day, and I didnt even study it every day
>>61639019
That's the weight of TRADITION for you.
That said, it could be much worse. Imagine your first language was Chinese or Japanese (or Akkadian...).
English is literally the easiest language that there is to learn.
>>61639019
>eyes
>ice
>night
>knight
>>61639585
But "eyes" and "ice" sound differently (to a native speaker anyway).

English is simple as fuck to learn
Easier than French, German and Italian
Can't really say it's easier than norwegian
>>61639689

>>61639019
Haha English incredibly is easy learn to use faggot hahaha
>>61639019
>learning Portuguese
>every object has a gender that changes possession
>every verb completely changes on every tense and context of sentence
>questions and statements are the same besides way you pronounce them
>>61639019
It's my third and probably best language, mate. Have you actually attempted to learn any other language?
>>61639882
>he's learning a language without dual
>>61639792
Norwegian is even easier than english
>>61639019
>vanilla ice cream pronounced as vaniller ice crem
>philippa pronounced as philipper
>anna as anner
Can someone explain this
>>61640001
I'm not sure m8
Norwegian pronunciation is all fucked up
>>61639019
>he thinks English is difficult
Literally a babby-tier language
>>61639689
>voiced consonants at the end of words
stop thin nonsense reeeeeeeee
>>61640033
For me it's easier than english pronounce
I tried to learn it (I left it in the third day thought) and everything was pretty easy to understand. Very simple language.
>>61640178
Fuglen (the bird)
The "g" is silent
Hvordan går det
the "d" of "hvordan" is silent, so are the "d" and the "t" of "det"
>>61639882
>questions and statements are the same besides way you pronounce them
How is this a bad thing? It makes things so much easier.
>wednesday
why is there a "d" when you pronounce it whensday instead of wet-nes-day?
>>61639882
>questions and statements are the same besides way you pronounce them
That's why you add a ¿ at the beginning
>>61639882
Moments like these make me feel glad we aren't a spanish speaking cunt, portuguese is so filled with bullshit it works perfectly as a base to learn other languages
>>61640022
who the fuck talks english like that
>>61640263
>english
>every word pronunciation is different
>>61640503
yo quiero aprendere l'español tanbien que lo frances desu (mfw being an italian speaker with basic culture lets me just make things up)
>>61640471
The British afaik, Gordon Ramsey says vaniller ice cream and the english voice actors in the Witcher 3 say e.g. Philipper Eilhart instead of Philippa Eilhart. It sounds masculine and strange
>>61640578
It's all going to depend on your regional accent on how words are pronounced. The UK has loads of them, America has quite a few too.
>>61639833
eyes is more "eyez"
>>61640659
and what about
>pray
>prey
>knew
>new
?
>>61640997
Those are true homophones.
>>61640022
That's Australian English. I don't know why they do that.
>>61639019
it's still the easiest language out there, even though lots of things make no logical sense
>>61639019
Try Toki Pona. XD
>>61641131
Not really, I think new sounds like "noo" (like the "oo" in boot), whereas knew is more along the lines of knyu
>>61640022
Brits don't enunciate well at all.
>>61639096
more than
>>61640263
Norwegian has 1058484 dialects though. You can pronounce it any way in some part of country it will be correct
>>61646381
Depends on regional accent.
>>61640578
>"vanilla ice crem"
Never heard a native English speaker say it like this; "creem" yes, "crem" no.
>>61640390
Because it was originally a reference to Odin, and spelling reform never happened to change it.
>>61639019
M8 it's fucking easy, I learned just by playing vidya, both by having games in english and chatting with the other players. School tries to teach you but...eh.
The first thing I learned was to swear of course.
Don't Isle and Aisle sound the same?
Whenever I hear the latter used (as in clean-up on aisle so and so) it sounds identical to the "isle" you hear in say Isle of Men
>>61646708
That they do, Deutschbro
>>61646634
>Because it was originally a reference to Odin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woden_(disambiguation)
>>61646708
homophones again, there's a lot in the English language.
>>61639019

> difficult
I know English is very different from your native Arab dialect, but try learning the same things you're ranting about in Spanish.
>>61647139
Are you a wizard
>>61639019
just talk proper and dont talk foreign or nothing and you'll do
why does everyone use C or derivations of C, Ada is way better. English is a cheap whore of a language easy to learn hard to perfect but for 20 bucks you can have a go.
kek, git gud faget
>>61640503
This
I sort of understand why people have a hard time learning English
Just look at 4chan, we make up words and exceptions on the spot
>>61639067
lol yeah Americans are retarded lol still #1 and also a major source of innovation lol fucking Spain
this thread is just a big bait... well done
Thing about English is it's easy to understand someone once you get the basics but second language English speakers still fuck up our little rules like when to use a and an and past vs present tense verbiage
second languagers, do you have a hard time understanding us when we talk fast or watching fast paced dialogue in our tv shows and movies?
>>61650807
One thing America is #1 at except military funding?
I have learned English about for 10 years but still even now I don't understand it perfectly.
I don't say Japanese is easy. But English is also not so easy.
>other languages than my own are so hard: the thread
>>61651009
* learnt
Every sentence is Engrish.
>>61651012
wow well done analyzing lad xDDDDD
Is English America's greatest invention?
>>61651005
Space
>muh comet landing
yeah, didn't land right and now has to wait until in a position to collect sun light
Worst of all
>dialects and accents
>>61651005
we are #1 in visual media
>inb4 weebs
>>61651074
It's true. They're just too lazy and stupid. Luckily English is a global language so why even bother learning anything else?
I am proud of our gigantic vocabulary, it makes for some great literature and poetry
>>61651164
Because native English speaking people are 9 times out of 10 terrible people and worse women
