English is the hardest language to learn
I don't understand why I got this sentence wrong;
"The folks were installing a hound house for the hounds." Can you explain why is this sentence wrong? I am German BTW.
>>
"The folks were installing a hound house for the hounds." << It should be The folks were installing a doghouse for the hounds.

Ich erkläre Ihnen was ich an dieses denke, meinem Freund in Norwegen: I'd rather talk about the reproductive system of the sea slug. Sheffield Wednesday? No interest so no comment. Rainy weather? This isn't Bergen you know! :-) Nah!..you're way off beam with the topics my mates and I discuss! Of course I understand that I may well have chatted with other Brits without knowing that they speak German fluently. We just never got round to the subject of language I reckon.
Bruno - did you try to lean polish language? I thik that is the hardest language I have ever learnt.
Well, Bruno, I am from Shanghai, China. I speak Wooglish(Shanghainese) in a long way while normally Chinese has always escaped me since I learnt it from primary school. When it comes to English, I found it wayyyyyy easier than Chinese as soon as I pick it up in high school, no bones about it.
Now, u no wat? I am learning German! I gotta say, it ain't EZ! In my opinion,English is one of the easiest languages in the world if you put a little bit heart into it. Wish u luck!
"English is the hardest language to learn."
Well, you can't really confirm that statement truthful, can you? I mean, honestly, have you tried learning every language out there? I do agree that it might be one of the most confusing, but not the top. Being an American, I've been taught in to speak English naturally, but I could see how for others it might be very challenging. Of course, it depends on where your from and how you pronounce words and sounds. If you have difficulty pronouncing English words, then people may not understand you, and if people don't understand you...well, then what's the point of learning the language?

>>I speak Wooglish(Shanghainese) in a long way<< Could you explain to me what you mean by speaking a language 'in a long way'???
wouldn't y'all think that an asian language would be harder to speak...such as chinese. i mean you would have to learn to read and write it too.
in fact i think Latin is pretty hard to learn, considering it is the mother language to the romance family
In fact, there's no difficult or easy languages. It all depends on the native language the person speaks... For example, I speak spanish as a mother language, and learning english, french, portuguese, italian and latin wasn't difficult at all... Anyway, I had a few problems with learning German... That's because German and Spanish are in two different branches of the Languages Family Tree... But what's really true is that English is not really a difficult language... As long as you get the short and long vowels sounds and diagraphs, there won't be any problem on learning it...
I'm a native speaker of English, and I think English is the easiest language. All others are much harder.
"I'm a native speaker of English, and I think English is the easiest language."
Obviously, you're fluent in the language.
Mother tongue affects the way of thinking because we think in a language. Then, when one comes across a language whose structure significally differs from his native language he finds it difficult because learning it implies thinking not the way he has got customed for.
