Do you enjoy the English language? What do you like/dislike about it? Was it difficult for you to learn...

I still do some mistakes years after learning it
I honestly don't like this language, I use it only on this site and when I watch movies (and that's not everytime the case)

I want a latin language as the lingua franca instead

English is 60% Latin; that's close enough right?

Doesn't it also have like 30%+ French words as well?

>You (singular)
>You (plural)
>and all those phrasal verbs

Japanese doesn't even differentiate between singular and plural 90% of the time, you should be used to it.

Maybe but the pronunciation is terrible, can't stand it
That's the main reason why I dislike this language

Also
>Oh my god dude!!!
>Oh my freaking god!!
>Are u fucking kiding me??
What the fuck/hell!!!
>Litterally

A ton of shitty expressions like this, insupportable

My only gripe is the fucked-up way of pronouncing words. The language itself is really easy to learn, though.

Nobody's forcing you to go around yelling OH MY FREAKING GOD.

It's alright, I guess. What I really dislike about it is how weak the link between spelling and pronunciation is. At best you can make assumptions based on similar words, but you never really know how a word's pronounced unless you look it up.

As for the last question, it was easy. I was exposed to it from an early age and never did any active learning. It all just came to me from use.

all french words are pretty much latin iirc

these are all very american expressions...

>judging a language by slang
I'm sure there are just as French expresions

just as dumb*

> Do you enjoy the English language?
I do, it's quite different from my native lang so sometimes it's kinda hard to find words and/or phrases to express a certain concept but otherwise it's quite comfy and useful.

> What do you like/dislike about it?
Well, overall it's a fine language, it sounds nice, it's very melodic and as I said before quite useful in our day and age.
On the other hand.. there are many things that I don't understand about its overall structure, why some things are written like this and the others like that, the formal language isn't hard to understand but rather quite hard to use it on your own.. the articles still confuse me sometimes, but most natives I've spoken to over the years said my English is fine so I don't bother re-reading thru stuff like basic grammar etc.

> Was it difficult for you to learn?
I'd say I had some troubles with it at school but when I started learning it on my own I quickly realized that it's not at all a hard language, by any means.. and I mean like, even it's got a shitton of exceptions in grammar, spelling etc. it's still quite intuitive and the widespreadness of it all around the world, the amount of content you find written or translated to it is simply overwhelming, so it wasn't hard getting used to it and finding resources that helped me.

The only thing I keep fuckin up are verb tenses

Do you know any other languages? I heard Romance speakers can read each other’s languages fairly easy for the most part and figure out what you’re typing, but actually hearing is a lot tougher

Id say english is pretty easy for most europeans due to it being a mix of both latin and germanic if im not incorrect making it somewhat familiar to alot of people

Actually, my native langs are Russian and Ukrainian, that's why I said "quite different".
Italian isn't that different from English on the other hand
And yeah, as for your question, other Romance langs are quite easy to understand. Written french is very easy, spanish a lil' harder (but the speech is easier to understand) etc.

I like English but I don't like how there are 50 billion different pronounciations. I do prefer the southern American one though.

what's a "pronounciations"?

ultra hard language on this planet.
completely different language system.
ultra hard language is world common language.
makes me depress every time when people chatting in English.

English was pretty easy for me, most Dutch people are fluent in English. Don't really care that much for English as a language desu, it's pretty ugly but not as ugly as Dutch. I think it's very interesting how the English language evolved from Frisian.

Pronunciations but with an extra "o", autistic faggot.

I don't have any particular feelings for it. Sometimes, I hear things in English that irritate me but I get irritated by stupid sounding things in standard Slovene as well. And no, it was not very difficult to learn.

The good thing about english is that the language is simple enough that you can learn it (sort of) while making no concious effort to do so, just by media consumption and browsing anglo internet. Sure you will make dumb mistakes and sound like a retard or a robot but who cares, it's about getting your point across and being able to watch movies and shit.

Its really not that easy but easy still. It lack many of the nuances I'm used to being natively from a agglutinative language. Like there is no nuance to be found and its pretty lax as in you need to specify things with additive words.

Overall 4/5

The written broken English of Japanese is amusing though.

Positive things compared to Spanish
-Verb conjugation is a fucking joke. Literally brainlet tier
-No accents on words
-More descriptive words for very specific actions

Negative things
-Retarded and arbitrary pronunciation "rules"
-Too much reliance on pronouns because verb conjugation is weak
-Neutral genders, so shit is left ambiguous most of the time
-No plural you so it must be complimented with you guys or you all, etc

Japanese phonetical english you mean? Its not broken in any sense. It follows a set of rules.

Yeah it's alright.
>Was it difficult for you to learn?
No

I meant their attempt at writing English is amusing

Try any other Indo-European language and realize you were wrong about English being "ultra hard"
Then try shady abstract language groups (semitic, kartvelian etc) and realize all Indo-Euro languages are infinitely easier.
Then you can try ugro-finnic langs (Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian etc) and then look at your own lang and realize your writing is fucked up and you're literally using fuckin moonrunes to express simple concepts.
And as if moonrunes weren't enough you also developed two retarded syllabic alphabets instead of one phonetic.

English is easy, useful and is very good for expressive communication. Only problem is people from britain, they dont seem to be able to speak English.

RARE

So, how you doin'?

Are you the same italian that keeps tagging me in all the threads i post in?

it's a basic language and it's not particularly beautiful but it's just wonderful that the entire world can communicate and i am able to speak with people from everywhere thanks to it
i mean, there are long distance relationships based on the fact that the two lovers can speak english
it's just incredible how useful english is, we arrived at a point were artificial and geographical borders do not exist anymore

U-uhm I'm n-not sure. I've only tagged a mongolian dude twice in my life I think, and it's always been "RARE"

So no, I think I'm not the one

I still don't have a full grasp on commas or "proper" grammar

I can't remember all of this arbitrary shit when my mind is only focused on getting the point across and clearly

Pronounciation in German is the easiest. The grammar was hard for me

i hate the fact it's the only language i actually speak besides russian.
too fucking easy, plus the manner in which most muricans and brits speak it (can't specifically describe) angers me for some reason

cant imagine being a monolingual brainlet

Learned to write and read playing runescape and wow.
Learned to speak it watching countless lets plays on youtube when i was a kid.

You could if you were only bordered by two countries. One speaking the same language as you and the other being a shithole you'd never want to visit. Not only that but everyone learns English so that gives us even less of an incentive to learn another language

And the language as a whole doesnt really feel anything to me anymore since i use it all the time. Only when i meet other finnish people who struggle with it i realize how advantageous it is to know.

I love English. It is the best and smartest and most beautiful

A lot of people don't pay attention to details. It's like they're walking through life with their eyes closed. Fucking infants

I like it because it is simple. It was easy to learn thanks to Cartoon Network in English and vast amounts of English books my parents bought me.

no

i like music only in English, i can't listen to music in Spanish, it simply doesn't fit.

what i don't like about English is how Americans speak it.

Thought english was hottest shit while I was a kid. Learned english, french and later german and spanish @ school.

I now dislike it, it's pretty shitty language, not german shit tier but below even french.

My favorites are now spanish and russian. Russian mostly because of how well it fits tragic slavic narrative, suka blyat pizdec yob tvoyu mat.

Learned loving russian watching dashcam videos and spanish watching narco videos.

Gayest language of them all is czech.

I don't have a special like or dislike for it, but I think it's fun to hear all the different accents from both native speakers and non-native speakers. It's so widely used that you get everything from murrican rednecks to pajeets giving it their own accent.

>different accents

Tull you run into pajeet accent on youtube, fucks me up every time.

>What do you like/dislike about it?

Definitely articles. Literally wtf is this shit and why do you always have to determine whether a thing is "definite" or "indefinite", what do you even need it for, completely useless feature in everyday speech, if you really need to specify it, you can add "this" before the noun.

The worst is by far is the chaotic and nonesensical nature of the language, and the fact of being so far from being phonetical.

But well, with practise you get used to and start to internalize those "exceptions".

Although I haven't developed a considerable language skills in other romance/latin languages, I feel much more comfortable and natural talking them, at least english is retard tier at grammar. Anyway I don't dislike talking english, it's an opportunity to think and speak in a very different way and develope new cerebral structures.

>You (singular)
>You (plural)

Holy shit, that really is the language of a world-conquering steppe people.

God didn't invent that, moonshine did.

t. guy who speaks English only because all of us do

I don't. It's caveman speech. There's no difference between infinitive and imperative

90% of the time i use english online its with other non-native speakers
also brits are cunts so i dont really want to interact with them. americans are a mixed bag
