Chou pas gothEnglish is a tricky language (from a French point of view). It seems easy enough to learn compared to French, and yes, it does lack the pesky silent letters we have, and then... You realize that between accents, and letters combinations, etc., while it's easy to speak broken English, it's actually hard to speak good English :)
Doc Edward Morbius ❌@jenesuispasgoth So ... what are the easiest and hardest languages to learn? To speak with something resembling native fluency?
BasqueInGlory@dredmorbius I think English and Mandarin Chinese are rated as the most difficult languages to learn by non native speakers. The easiest languages to learn are probably Spanish and Esperanto.
@BasqueInGlory Latin was on my short list. German, other than the cases. Russian's pretty straightforward in grammar, but there's the alphabet problem. I can't speak to Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, or similar Semitic languages.
SS Africa and Oceania should be interesting linguistically as well. The first as the origin point of most, and with deep overlays. The latter for propogation and drift.
