some of you americans pronounce words differently to us brits...but i'm sure you get the idea:wink:

yeah i got it, lol. funny, but i agree, english is definitely one of the tougher languages.

What does this have to do with philosophy?

I mean, the dictionary does have verb, noun, adjective, etc. definition forms.
Its nothing surprising.


Meh...

No, it's not

I don't think it's hard at all. Yes it's my first language, but it is very mechanical. There are subjects and predicates, nouns and verbs, and really that's all you need to know before you can distinguish what a word is.

There might be several words with the same spelling, but there are certain ways you would not use them, and it's very logical. It's just that we have so many suffixes and prefixes that I think is difficult.

Moved to COT, :repost: but still a goodie.

sorry, mandrin and cantoneses rank higher i think. or at least one does. english isnt that hard, considering how many girls i dated learned it as their 2nd or 3rd language or were learning it. They said it was easy. So...i se eno proof in it ebing hard.

i think every language has its more difficult aspects. often we see languages such as mandarin or russian because it has a whole new set of characters and sounds to learn as well.
