@dgar@aus.social For all you native English speakers out there, English is not harder or easier than any other language. All have their specificities, easy parts, and difficult parts.

I'd even be tempted to say that English is easier than many other languages. Its grammar is extremely easy compare to most languages, sure it's vocabulary is very rich, but its double Germanic/Latin origins make it easier for native speakers of most European languages.

The only difficulty is that spelling doesn't always match the pronunciation. It maybe troublesome for some native speakers (Spanish for example), but it kinda makes me laugh in French.
