English Language

I was thinking how hard the English Language must be to learn if it's not your first language I still struggle myself The whole having words they sound the same but are not spelt the same and mean something different, for example wear and where. I think who ever decided to have this language thought it was a laugh to confuse people

The other problem is the speaking of it... I have attempted to speak properly and after a while you get the hang of it but jez its hard at first

What do you guys think?

I've met a few people who learned english as a 2nd langauge and speak it better than most native speakers do!

I think it's also funny how those who use the English Language like the US and UK say words differently

yeh. also in places they always teach british english so people come over here and use words that nobody knows.

I know Sometimes I feel ashamed that I drop my t's and h's... I do have a cockney accent and when I am on the phone to people at work, my colleguages take the mick out of me cos they say I sound 'posh'

I have to put on my telephone voice lol

heh is there something wrong with sounding posh?

No its just weird to hear me speak normal then go into a well spoken

i have a friend who is a native Brit (and he moved back recently, as a matter of fact), and he got a big laugh out of the fact that i knew what "cor blimey" meant.

Now thats a phrase I dont hear much It is is odd have each country who uses the English Language add their influence. Like in the UK we say Blokes or Bird. Even in the UK different areas have different words Its oh so strange

im so embarrassed...my boyfriend speaks English better than i do ...his native languages are German and Romanian...he came to the US 8 years ago

Another thing about the english language is words with silent letters in them like Knife, its stupid
