English is such a bullshit language.
Look
they're all pronounced the same except lock and lack
>very specific word in every germanic languages
>404 not found in english
>have to use long, contrived sentence to describe the concept
hol up what word
not here lmao, its all very clearly different
more likely you just don't know the word since english has super obscure words from rando etymologies for anything. If we are lacking something important time to import the original word e.g. the official English word 'schadenfreude'
Usually really basic shit, like
>distinction between maternal grandmother/father, aunt or uncle, combined with if the person is a blood relative or married into the family
or just compounded words like Schadenfreude or Waldeinsamkeit. These are obscure terms in English but have precise definitions and words in every Germanic language as well as Finnish.
>luck
>pronounced the same as look
don't think so.
Americans don't even have full grasp of the language. I know I don't.
what a tough though thought through post
What fucking language do you speak where look and Luke are the same sound?
>They foreigners know. Crash it. Make the language have no consistent pronunciation or spelling, and make it so hundreds of verb endings are irregular for no reason. And while we're at it, make the word for the second-person plural the same word as the second-person singular.
>We're right on it, Mrs. Windsor
Ironically, English is the America of languages
fucking northerners
isn't the oo in look like the oo in foot
luke is different
Lol, try learning Czech.
mer, mère, maire
vers, verre, vert, ver
ou, où, houe, houx
paire, père, pers, perds
>learning Czech
I think you meant the superior Slovak language
only luck and lock
Are pic related just autistic boomers?
Laahk the fucking door Sheila!
English should be written with Kanji, since the spelling doesn't make any sense anyway.

Kind of, but it's a good thing with all the arabs and africans shitting the language with ape talk.

I legitimately don't know how lock is supposed to sound
Also it's shuh-cah-goh, with the cah being pronounced the way aussies say car :)
Try learning Bulgarian.

I speak french and it's such a bullshit language, it's actually disgusting.
What the hell rural Yorkshire village did you grow up in
>make the word for the second-person plural the same word as the second-person singular.
All of the cool languages do this though
Pensé, penser, pensais, pensait, pensaient
It's the same for all regular verbs
>criticize the French language in any way

>immediately resorts to name calling and denies there's anything wrong

Those aren't English though
kek my grandparents are from lancashire and they pronounce look and luke the same
I agree!
fucking Norfolk
you are one of the best cross-board posters
lmao has to suck learning it, im just imagining spanish cuck trying to pronounce these words and all i hear him say is "Look" for all of them
I also have a hard time with french tho, au dessous and au dessus sound the fucking same to me
>and all i hear him say is "Look" for all of them
More like "luke" except for the last two, but yeah that's exactly what happens.
Are you retarded? They are all obviously different, except maybe look and Luke.
>except maybe look and Luke.
are you retarded?
I wouldn't pronounce them the same, btw. That's why I wrote the "maybe", since there are dialects.
>have one of the most confusing languages to learn
>make it the lingua franca
why did the british do this?
Blame the French.
>or just compounded words like Schadenfreude or Waldeinsamkeit.
You might consider that we're not nasty evil Gypsies who enjoy others suffering, so we don't need those terms?
But that's uncool
>confusing
People exaggerate it a lot desu
it's easy for many western europeans because its a hybrid of gemranic and romance based languages. and we have simplified grammar since english is a creole language
>get invaded by pretty much every European power up until the 1300s
>language sits in ruins
>become the global superpower and put continental Europeans in their place finally
>just in time for the internet and mass media to enshrine English as lingua franca for at least a couple hundred years (if not permanently, oh god)
It really couldn't have gone any worse, couldn't've it?
for the last fucking time english is literally the most simple language to learn on the fucking planet. a monkey could learn it.
>have one of the most confusing languages to learn
have you ever tried to learn another language?
It's easy for everyone
[citation needed]
You want to know how it's obvious you're just parroting shit you've heard and never actually asked people how they've learned English?
>mega ahtism
OP here, I'm one of the dumbest brainlets ever and I do agree English is, overall, an easy as fuck language to learn and even master, but I still find its pronunciation and spelling to be fucking bullshit.
>tfw trying to say "squirrel" out loud in front of an anglo

There weren't enough vowels in the Latin alphabet.
The only notable thing about the chicago accent is the TH sound is said like a D. it is almost an extinct accent though, people born and raised there phased it out since is was kind of subtle anyway.
Da bears are da greatest football team on planet ear'd. Im goin ta see dem over dere at soldier field on the 15'd in october

Shut your damn mouth you american soyboy
>The only notable thing about the chicago accent is the TH sound is said like a D
Wait, don't you all do this in the US?
It was based until the cringe end
No, not at all. However Chicago was a very culturally-significant city in the 1970s and 1980s so I wouldn't be surprised if you saw a bunch of movies and such with that accent on display, and thought it was normal.
>it is almost an extinct accent though, people born and raised there phased it out since is was kind of subtle anyway.
That's because the City has done a great job of exiling working class whites and blacks by bringing in illegal immigrants. Sanctuary city my fucking ass, it's all about slave labor.
