Negative Sun Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Bob Lion and Kitty have it spot on, IMO. Re: grammar - if everyone used the correct grammar and form, the language would be far easier to understand, but when, like, you be using, like, bits that aren't right or don't flow good, it goes across really bad, right? See what I mean? Interesting fact: the word 'desert', meaning hot, dry place with lots of sand, is thought to come from the Ancient Egyptian 'desheri' meaning 'the red land' I've always thought that the most difficult literature in the world, however, is French. Why, you ask? Proust. Even in translation it's hell. I got to page thirty-something of 'Swann's Way' and decided he could shove his bloody madeleine cakes up his rectum. Well said, madeleine cakes suck anyways, go donuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Lasiter Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Id rather learn Japanese... atleast its something I could use. lol The written language is not all that difficult, some types of kanji are a pain in the ass to draw though.

Samuel Dravis Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I'm not sure about English being as hard to learn as you make it out to be, but it definitely takes time. I am a fairly advanced English user and I still make misstakes with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balderdash Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 ^ I think jmac7142 spelt wrong wrong on perpuss too. Words that sound the same but have different meanings are called homophones, and they are found in most languages, so this doesn't make English more difficult to learn than most other languages. English does have quite a large amount of irregularities in certain grammatical rules though. So, it's not always easy, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
