kek KEK

Even americans can (more or less) speak it

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

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.

>eyes
>ice
>night
>knight

But "eyes" and "ice" sound differently (to a native speaker anyway).

Try this m8.

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

but i cant speak it out with any difference, no matter how hard i try

Haha English incredibly is easy learn to use faggot hahaha

>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

It's my third and probably best language, mate. Have you actually attempted to learn any other language?

>he's learning a language without dual

Norwegian is even easier than english

>vanilla ice cream pronounced as vaniller ice crem
>philippa pronounced as philipper
>anna as anner
Can someone explain this

I'm not sure m8
Norwegian pronunciation is all fucked up

>he thinks English is difficult

Literally a babby-tier language

>voiced consonants at the end of words
stop thin nonsense reeeeeeeee

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.

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"

>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?

>questions and statements are the same besides way you pronounce them
That's why you add a ¿ at the beginning

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

who the fuck talks english like that

>english

>every word pronunciation is different

yo quiero aprendere l'español tanbien que lo frances desu (mfw being an italian speaker with basic culture lets me just make things up)

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

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.

eyes is more "eyez"

and what about
>pray
>prey
>knew
>new
?

Those are true homophones.

That's Australian English. I don't know why they do that.

it's still the easiest language out there, even though lots of things make no logical sense

Try Toki Pona. XD

Not really, I think new sounds like "noo" (like the "oo" in boot), whereas knew is more along the lines of knyu

Brits don't enunciate well at all.

more than

Norwegian has 1058484 dialects though. You can pronounce it any way in some part of country it will be correct

...

Depends on regional accent.

>"vanilla ice crem"
Never heard a native English speaker say it like this; "creem" yes, "crem" no.

Because it was originally a reference to Odin, and spelling reform never happened to change it.

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

That they do, Deutschbro

>Because it was originally a reference to Odin
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woden_(disambiguation)

homophones again, there's a lot in the English language.

> English
> difficult

I know English is very different from your native Arab dialect, but try learning the same things you're ranting about in Spanish.

...

Are you a wizard

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

This

I sort of understand why people have a hard time learning English

Just look at Sup Forums, we make up words and exceptions on the spot

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?

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

* learnt

Every sentence is Engrish.

wow well done analyzing lad xDDDDD

Is English America's greatest invention?

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

we are #1 in visual media

>inb4 weebs

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

Because native English speaking people are 9 times out of 10 terrible people and worse women
