Do you feel that the english is a easy language or hard???

Question

This questions for who is native of German,French,Latin,Chines,Japanes and Korean

Answer 1

I think it is a hard language, because it is so widely spoken you have so many variations of it. Even within the UK you have your regional accents and the dialect that comes with that, to say nothing for the rest of the world.

Answer 2

As a korean, I find English relatively easier than other European languages. I can tell you this for sure since I had a chance to learn German during my first high school year. Although the German prounounciation was regular unlike English,(and sounds cooler too :-)) I still had hard time to get used to the complicated grammar. On the other hand, I find English a way lot easier because its grammatical laws are quite flexible. I hope my answer helped you.^-^
(By the way, the hardest Western language would be French. Although it sounds romantic, my French-learning friends(Korean ones) all say that grammar and pronounciation rules are just HORRIBLE!!)

Answer 3

Your question is really hard to answer, because you cannot group Germans, French and Latin (I suppose you mean Romance languages speakers) on the one hand, and speakers of Chinese, Japanese and Korean on the other hand.
For the first group, yes - English is quite easy to learn, because it also belongs to the Indo-European language family, shares certain vocabulary and several grammatical features.
The second group will find it more difficult to learn English, for the opposite reasons.
Still, if one compares English with French or German, the better choice is still English, mainly due to the simplicity of its grammar.

Answer 4

It is one of the hardest if not the hardest. And this is from a native speaker. We have more pronunciations for letters than almost anybody. More words that sound the same and more words that mean more than one thing. The Romance languages, and Japanese or Chinese, once you get past the alphabets and word endings are actually much simpler than English. Romance languages descended from Latin ask you to use suffixes to conjugate nouns and verbs, but they do away with most of the small English words indicating possession or tense. Chinese makes you learn a huge number of pictogram's but does away with the tenses and possessives totally. Remarkably few empty words. Japanese is kind of weird because they have three native alphabets for use in different social situations, Formal, casual or official. They also tend to take words from other languages and us them in the original letters. It makes trying to read a newspaper a challenge. Three Japanese scripts heavily laced with Russian, English, French, Chinese and everybody else's words. Yet Japanese, once you get past pronunciation and counting is again easy to read.
Yes English is the worst of the common languages.

More primitive languages are more complex though.
The Esquimos have over 5000 phrases to describe snow(expletives not deleted),
Languages simplify over time.

Answer 5

It's hard to tell because we hear english everywhere in our countries, songs, movies, news... So our hears are more used to hear english than another language. What about chinese if chinese was THE language of modern culture?

Answer 6
