Is it weird that my first language is English, but after learning Broken English for my job I something think in Broken English? I not know, you know. We not have dis in Old Country. For sure, for sure. Tak, yeah. :H
weirdo I catch myself thinking stuff in french or german from time to time.... sometimes phrases just sound better in other languages, english is a pretty ugly language
Heil ze fuhrer... you can't not have "ze" pronounced "zeh" like that guy who had to hold his arm down to keep from giving the fascist salute to the president on Doctor Strangelove.
"ze/h" isn't normal German though. Maybe an accented speech? Or Sie, but that's not particularly good grammar to say heil Sie Fuhrer, as far as I can remember anywho, I really ought to brush up on my German before i worry any more about grammar n vocab
English is the best language in the world and anyone who says differently should be strung up by their goolies from the nearest tree We have more words then any other language (654,000 if memory serves) Plus we stole words from other languages so people didn't notice that we were conquering them. And its the world language thus proving that English surpasses all other languages in sheer awesomeness. And anyone who says its "ugly" clearly isn't using it to maximum effect. Ciao!
for example. P+H=F...E+A= hard A (sometimes a soft E) (example, read and read)... It is suposedly the hardest language to learn
I bet Japanese is harder, because if you don't grow up speaking it your mouth muscles don't develop in a certain way and you can't say the words correctly...Chinese is the same. Hell all languages are like that, like in afrikaans G's are often a really strange sound that english people can't do and is really funny to watch them try and do
no, english really isn't hard to learn, I mean ph =f, that's just something you have to learn once, and then you know that it is pronounced like that - and I'd say everyone can pronounce the "f"....that#s no problem... so I agree with all_rhodesian_reject, those languages from distant countries or countries with a totally different culture, like africans and asians (and system of writing of course, if they do have one) are way harder to learn.... I think, of the world's main languages (like not some language from any African tribe) Chinese must be most difficult to learn, with all those thousands of signs...I heard that even most chinese adults don't know all of them - dunno if that's right though....
Mandarin isn't like Japanese or alot of other languages in that it isn't structured (I think that is the word I'm looking for). Apparently every single word is made up by a completely individual symbol, not a collection of simple symbols of about 20-50. in number. I'm no good at explaining things incase you hadn't realised
