Im a German native who is studying both French and English. Just let me say that much: English is pretty easy at the beginning, but I think its really hard to master escpecially when it comes to pronunciation. The difficult thing about the last part is, imo, to choose which accent (i.e. AmE, BE, AE etc) you want to go for and stick with it. Its very easy for a German to mix accents or to, in general, to sound like a pretentious douchebag when trying to talk "proper" English. Also, as someone pointed out, there is no clear graph-sound correspondence in English, which means that there are a lot of different combinations of letters which correspond to just a single sound and vice versa. When it comes to grammer, I think French is much harder than English (could even be compared to German in terms of difficulty). In French the pronunciation is way more straight forward than in English. I could go on and on, but this is not the thread for it. Interesting topic though | ||

Do with that what you will. and i speak french german and english, did you expect linguists to tell you that what they study is the most simple language in the world ? english is clearly not one of the most complex languages, and it's the easiest one to learn. did you guys seriously get hurt in your ego because we said that english is easy to learn? reality check, talking your own language doesn't make you einstein. | ||

I dont think this is accurate cause it doesnt make any sense at all. Cloud won 2-0 vs orly, but orly is ahead. Axlav won 2-0 vs strelok and axlav is ahead. but its the same situation. Furthermore, we saw mana winning vs bigs, i dont believe he is 4th in the group after that tiebreak match. | ||

Actualy English being easy is its advantage, not the oposite. You should be glad its that way, it makes native enlish speakers life much easier. | ||

I'm fairly certain this bracket is accurate. But perhaps not. | ||

German and English have the same roots (Germanic language). if I were Italian,e.g., I would surely consider French to be easier than English (Romance languages) and also, a very important reason why so many people think English is easy in general and easy to learn, is because English is the language which is being taught the most all alround the world and we are constantly surrounded with it in our everyday lives.
