When asked what is the hardest language to learn, the majority say that English is hard?

Do you agree?

From my point of view, it is the Spanish cause most things has at least two to three names. Such as bedroom: pieza, cuarto, habitacion. Depending of the country in witch it is spoken. And it is still the same language and not a dialect.

What I meant from that term is that one has proved that he is really committed to his profession which is proven from the long years of working.

Context:

The requirement needed to join the Institute as a member is that one must have had a long journey into their profession, either they come from the government institutions or private sectors (i.e. business enterprise, educational and social institutions).


If it is not good English term, can you please suggest any alternatives?

answer a question about Spanish language?
The so-called translation these people give you is pure nonsense. They just use a computer translation and throw it here. How would the person who is asking know which answer is correct? Are these people playing games and they just don't care if the other person gets a real answer to his/her question?

Somos arrepentidos preguntar pero el jugar constante de su música ha sido un alboroto grande a nosotros diario y es considerado la contaminación del ruido.

Nosotros no pedimos que usted girando lejos su música pero solicitando que usted rechaza simplemente su música o bajo. Posiblemente aún cerrar su puerta.

Se apreciaría sumamente. Gracias tanto

We’re sorry to ask but the constant playing of your music has been a large disturbance to us daily and is considered noise pollution.

We are not asking you to turn off your music but requesting that you simply turn down your music or bass. Possibly even shutting your door.

It would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much

-Your neighbors.

Americans generally don't use much of the english language (i.e. doesn't work instead of incompatible) and also have more simplistic spellings (color vs. colour) do english people dislike Americans for this?

I'm wondering what the exact use is of the auxilliary form of the verb "to do", such as "I do like vegetables" or "I did have to be there". It seems to only modify the secondary verb and sometimes it seems a sentence would be more concise without the use. Is there another reason for its inclusion in the English langauge? Are there equivilents in other languages?

It is for a birthday card. He reads Latin, but unfortunately I do not. The phrase is a command, as in "you! Live your life!" if that makes a differance. Again, any help would be most appreciated. Thank you very much for your help.
