;_;

hard as fuck to pronounce

very original post Ling

I don't remember 2bh. Probably something like "I don't want to learn anything. I don't want to do more homework reee"

If X is written like Y, why is it pronounced like Z?

REEEEE I FUCKING HATE SCHOOL REEEEE

I hated it, because we learned a lot of useless shit like "take a dog for a walk" or tourist shit.

Couldn't help myself

"AM" LMAO SHE WROTE "AM" LOLOLOLOL

FUCKING TENSES REEEEEEE

I literally sang in English but I didn't say English words

Wow the grammar's fucking simple

A French dialect with an accent.
I was right.

You're not wrong, it seems like half of English is just french loanwords.

"How do English children learn to write and read if their language doesn't have a spelling system?"

Wow the grammar, phonology and orthography are fucking retarded

>No conjugation???
>Is this a real language?

>they pronounce identical groups of letters in different ways?
>What is wrong with them?

memorization

"Who started the blender"?

captcha:
begins cottonwood

"What the fuck is this "th" sound ? Are they autistic ?"

The truth is that English has no spelling rules.

The other half is """Germanic""" which is really just island Dutch, which you don't even notice because of all the French and Latin loanwords.

It reminded me of Dutch, which I previously taught myself, not only in regards to the pronunciation aspect, but conjointly as to the grammatic aspect, since both languages derives from Proto-Germanic. Nowadays, when we get more exposed to English before, I'd say it's a bit of a tounge twister, since there's no 'th' sound in the Swedish language, which makes it harder for many Swedes to pronounce things that contains 'th' words, e.g. 'thin', whereas many people pronounce it as 'finn'.

I was playing a sort of light gun rail shooter game that was western themed i learned a few english words

after playing more games i learned more english and so on and so on

TL;DR play bideo bames

That is the case in every single language.

goo goo ga ga

Not really, English has 12 tenses, that's more than most languages and twice as much as his native German.

ach schade

WON is also a word, though.

Never started learning it as a choice, my older brothers listened to american/english music all the time and I saw many hollywood films growing up, had a pretty good grasp by the time I was 6. Then I transitioned from playing SNES games to computer games which pretty much perfected my english (vocabulary) and 2 years after that I started reading books in English

Wich is completely irrelevant to my point

>you'll never have to learn another language
Feels good

It sounds nice

Finally I can understand what the hell I'm supposed to do in games.

Actually pretty similar to Russian, and I was surrounded by English media as a child

t. Russian immigrant

I also remember we had the word 'shoe' on the list of words to learn for one week. I had played Diablo 2 and knew you could also say 'boot' and smugly told the teacher.

Many chemistry/medicine books have the IPA spelling for new words like photosynthesis /ˌfoʊtoʊˈsJnθəsJs/

I always thought that children books have something similar.
