Is English A Difficult Language?

I think I'll keep Goodfella away from my laptop just in case. ;)

Cool Gray!

Think we aren't, right? And thanks to Muhsin.

I agree sooo much with Peter, the only way to learn a language well is to use the language, I know this by experience, it doesn't matter how well you study it, as long as you won't be able to bring it into practice you will never master the language.

Exactly :)

English is really a very difficult language and of course it is very unscientific.

There is no good grammar in English and it is not not a flexible language. English is spread just because of the warriors or through its imperialistic domain.

But now after reading and writing much through this medium I started loving this language. Now it can not go unloved.

I agree with you hundred percent and indeed there are not even nuances of doubts in your expressions.

Then obviously you are well placed to say that English is the most difficult language in the world? And my bet is that beside English the two languages are Nepali and Hindi, which are very similar? One way or another, that doesn't make a very big sample.

I can speak both German and Swedish fluently and I think my English is quite so too, even though it isn't my native language like the other two. And I have a lot more trouble with spanish. Then again there are people I know who can't understand the simplest things in english but who at the same time are far better at, for an example, spanish than me. So I guess that it's just Extremely individual, like everything else

Superb! You can speak many languages like this. Wish I could do the same. But don't know why; language is never fortee.

English is BY FAR the silliest, easiest european language. Only emotional americans would think otherwise. I mean: no gender, no word agreement, no declension, arguably no grammar!

Let´s drop the PC talk already. :)
