English can actually be a really hard language to learn

Its not a very good language but I'm too lazy to learn another one.

Luckily for me, its my Native/First language. I also speak German which is a lot like English, but makes more sense.

Why does German make more sense than English?

My point was that not too many speak it. Even those who learn it usually only know how to read and translate it.

Also:

Church Latin is different than Latin. Over the past millennium, the Catholic church has added and changed a bunch of shit!

lol that's a perfect interpetation of Jebus.

Although the Christian conversatives might be a bit more than angered...nihahahaha~! :3c

Learn our senseless language, pussies. It's hard as shit.

English is hard. I'm from the USA and after learning French and Spanish, it's very different.

English is a collection of more than just a few languages though; we've bastardized many words to fit into English, including many French, German and Spanish words. It's Germanic based with some Romance languages thrown in.

However, we have many in the US that have their own forms of language. Creole, Gullah just to name a couple. Those have strong French ties and nothing like French/English at all. Creole has some spanish ties as well.

Knowing English doesn't mean you can understand those though. It took me years to understand spoken Gullah and I still have problems reading it, even though I have YEARS of French under my belt.

To English speakers, it's just straight and everything else is backwards. To everyone else, we're the ones that are backwards.
Rio Grande (river big) is to us Big River (backwards!)
Same with french, you have to think backwards.

Everyone I know who has been learning English all complain about it. The verbage is difficult. Are/Is We are, you are, he is, she is, it is, etc. No different from aller really but something gets lost in the translation I guess.

My first language is french and I would say that english was quite easy for me to learn. Of course I make mistakes sometimes but it took me less than 4 years being able to understand and speak it quite fluently. French Is much more harder than English because there's genders, and every verb is congugated differently. In english, there are only few irregular verbs but in french I would say that 40% don't follow the usual rule of different groups because each group of verb is divided in other cathegories.
Also I know many (like a loooot) of people that are still unable to speak and also write french correctly because it's too complicated!! I'm in the rare who only do a few mistakes sometime, but nothing important. Many don't know how to conjugate past participle with verb to have (and somtimes to be) and I know many that have big difficulties. And they have been speaking french their whole life!!

hahahahahaha that's so true Kismet!! But sometimes spanis sounds backward to me (adjectives) because i would say "grande rivièere" for "big river". But some other times the adjective is after the noun ^^ so you both sometimes sound backward to me hahaha
