Wow had to read it a couple times

If the plural of goose is geese, should the plural of moose be meese?

Ho meowner

I will one up you. Every E in Mercedes is pronounced differently.

I didn't kill your dog. I DIDN'T kill your dog. I didn't KILL your dog. I didn't kill YOUR dog. I didn't kill your DOG.

English is considered one of the easier languages to learn - it gets much more complicated out there people

While learning English, you either sound like an idiot, and write well. or you spell like moron but talk well...have to learn much by experience, because the language is schizophrenic and doesn't know what it suppose to do at any given moment.

this could be read as a poem because language rhymes with bridge lol

English is not that bad. When I came to this country I learned english in 6 months, granted I was 7 and absorbed everything quickly. I think if I ever tried to learn French it would destroy me.

Try Polish, then we can talk xD

Basic English is pretty easy to learn. Fluent English is hard. Correct written English is nigh-unto impossible, unless you were taught by a native English speaker (teacher or parent) from young childhood onwards.

As somebody who speaks english as a second language, I can tell you there are some very confusing parts. One simple thing that has always confused me is the difference between turtle and tortoise, because in my language we only have one word for it.

Millions manage !!

You should try to learn some Slavic language ...

It's like kanji characters in Japanese, two can have different meanings but they're pronounced the same.

And somehow, in Swedish "De" is pronounced "Dom" and there's historical reason for it, but it breaks all of their own pronunciation rules anyway. English isn't the only one with broken language XD

Read, reed, read, and red 😩

It's easy: Read rhymes with lead and read rhymes with lead, but read doesn't rhyme with lead and read doesn't rhyme with lead

Again, English has more than five vowels with only five letters to display them.

English is far easier to learn then french!

If your ID jumps off a bridge, will your ego and superego go with it?

The language is only difficult when it comes to idioms and slang. For example, "wanna" is now the accepted version of "want to".

How about read, read and red

I am a native English speaker and have always struggled learning another language (took 4 years of Spanish, 1 year of French, and 1 year of ASL, but still don't know any of them). I just always thought English was easy to learn. Then I had kids. Teaching them to read made me realize no language is easy if you're not immersed in it constantly.

One of the main problems is that 'English' contains words from many other languages. We who were immersed in it and grew up with its idiosyncrasies only trip over the unusual. This has lead me to believe I'd never figure out any other language to any degree of proficency at my age. Much too late!

And live and live

i might shed a tear

Tare and Tear are pronounced the same. For this is maybe the ONLY reason why we had such a Man known as Rip Torn.

I'm Russian. It was hard

It is not a problem really! Context is everything! And I'm german... dealing with an irregular language daily...;-)

If I haven't already READ the book, I will READ it tomorrow. Come on‽

Some of the messages I've had on eBay from Chinese sellers have totally blown my mind. A polishing stone I received arrived broken in half, they told me they must not have used enough "bubbles" in the package, hoping they meant bubble WRAP. Another item didn't arrive and I was informed that the carrier pigeon must have got lost (?), another item that took far longer to arrive than stated was coming from "Backland China". I think I cried at every one of those but most especially at the "bubbles".

I'm still working on my pronunciation... I'm this close 👌 to jump off a bridge...i really felt this

english was my second language but i starter learning at 4 or 5 so i was okay.

As a French I gave up on pronunciation years ago (hence the awkward accent) aaaaaaaand also on some grammar (but I never liked it either in french) 🤷‍♀️

In our English class' (I'm not from England or US) I just sit aside and just try to contain my laughter lol

Much easier to learn than to figure out different spelling if it's your native tongue

Read and read.

We south Asian have less bridges, that's why we are still Populated.

Sweet summer child

Amen

I'm SO Glad that English is my first language. I can read Lewis Carroll (The Rev Dodgson) in the original, and Shakespeare in the original, and Charles Darwin AND Charles Dickens in the originals!

Try reading this out quickly..
