What makes English so difficult to learn?
Why many foreign speakers have such problems with the English language? I mean, I came to the U.S. about two years ago, and in the beginning I've had problems with the language (probably just like eveybody else), but what makes English such a difficult language to learn? Most people (like in Europe) they grasp the [other] languages right away. The pronunciation is a lot easier, but still? What is so difficult about English? I know that there is stress, and that a lot of people shorten the vowels, but what makes English so hard?

Hi there, I could see you have problems with English and apart from this website, you can also surf english learning website via google or simply attend an english learning class near your place if you could afford it. Or maybe you could buy a learning kit. Its easy but i could say it would be quite expensive but it depends on which country you live. Anyway I want to wish you GOOD LUCK

I come from Greece so i cant tell you exactly what is so wrong with the english language.I came to Canberra four months ago and i still have problem with speaking.Back in Greece we use some expresions wich cannot be used in english.Also the tenses are more. For instance we dont have present perfect or past continious. It sounds grazy to me.Another point is the words.We use so many word

Dear friend,
I've just read your mail. Your questions is very interesting. Learning english as a second language can be a hard subject, but depend on your previous environment. Depend on your mother tonge. I mean, languages have a core structure, a root, an origin, as you can see... For instance, if you came from a pretty different language (for example, your mother tonge is "Mandari

I have learned English for seven and a half years now (at school) and I must say it is the easiest language I've ever learned. Maybe it is hard because of all the tenses (my mother tongue is Estonian and it has no future tense) or the vocabulary.

The illogical grammar rules, undoubtedly. And I really do think that Greek is harder.

well, I am not sure but I THINK is the more you learn english more questions you get in your head about this language. I am learning English too, I have been in USA for 3 years and I have never been in a school here, I study English for myself at home because I have not time to go school, this is my way.
Like you, I think that learning a second language is not easy thing spec

Well it all depens on your NATIVE language!!! My mother tongue is German. German is kind of similar to English. So I have not had a lot of problems with English. Of course there is a lot of stuff to learn, there are many exceptions. (stuff like this & that) But basically the grammar is not too complicated. I mean the tenses are pretty easy, once you have learned how it works. And building a senten
