Czech even worse

2018-11-11 04:32:49 UTC  

South slavic language seem the simplest in that regard

2018-11-11 04:33:07 UTC  

@Jacob I wish I spoke more Polish, my grandmother taught me a little and I've been trying to teach myself.

2018-11-11 04:33:11 UTC  

Bulgarian is allegedly the easiest slavic language for a native English speaker to learn

2018-11-11 04:33:15 UTC  

eh I think Russian pronunciation might be harder than Polish pronunciation, it's just that Americans think they have a license to mispronounce Russian since it doesn't have all the diacritics and stuff that Polish has

2018-11-11 04:33:37 UTC  

@Virgil See, that's something I think is sad. That people end up uprooted from their families.

2018-11-11 04:33:54 UTC  

Americans routinely butcher the pronunciation of Spanish, which has one of the simplest phonologies of any commonly learned language

2018-11-11 04:34:10 UTC  

@Jacob that I can agree with. I barley know any of my cousins

2018-11-11 04:34:12 UTC  

Yes, it's strange that people don't first learn how to properly pronounce languages.

2018-11-11 04:34:16 UTC  

@ophiuchus Once you get it down, I think Polish pronounciation is easier than English

2018-11-11 04:34:18 UTC  

For some reason, they never teach people that the vowels in english =/= the vowels in other languages

2018-11-11 04:34:19 UTC  

I butcher Spanish on principle, not because I can't pronounce it

2018-11-11 04:34:30 UTC  

Yeah there's someone in my chapter whos family seems to move back and forth by generation

@missliterallywho I always pretend I can't understand spanish when mexicans try to talk to me even though I can

2018-11-11 04:34:40 UTC  

@Virgil What of Aeschylus? Were his works insignificant although most did not remember him?

2018-11-11 04:34:49 UTC  

If you're gonna speak a language, speak it how it's meant to be spoken. Jared Taylor is based.

2018-11-11 04:34:58 UTC  

Only Mexicans pronounce Spanish properly in California

2018-11-11 04:35:00 UTC  

@Natasha - PA Same, I really only know my parents

2018-11-11 04:35:04 UTC  

Spanish has 5 vowels, English has like 13.

2018-11-11 04:35:05 UTC  

spanish is european pls respect

2018-11-11 04:35:09 UTC  

I think German and Chinese are pretty easy

2018-11-11 04:35:21 UTC  

Literally anyone can learn it

2018-11-11 04:35:22 UTC  

Chinese has the easiest grammar of any language I've studied

2018-11-11 04:35:31 UTC  

The grammar of German on the other hand

2018-11-11 04:35:32 UTC  

I be, he be, we be, they be, that's what it be.

2018-11-11 04:35:42 UTC  

New World Spanish is about as European as ebonics @Natasha - PA

2018-11-11 04:35:51 UTC  

Sometimes it do be like that @ophiuchus

2018-11-11 04:35:53 UTC  

"He was" is literally "He be (past tense)"

2018-11-11 04:35:57 UTC  

@Jacob True, my family is extremely Americanized. They don't even cook Polish food or speak the language anymore. They can't even pronounce their Polish surname correctly anymore

2018-11-11 04:36:19 UTC  

More brown people are Spanish speakers as first language than white

2018-11-11 04:36:34 UTC  

@Virgil What about Pytheas; who was widely known in antiquity but now only remembered through the works of others? Do we discount his discoveries? No.

2018-11-11 04:36:41 UTC  

"Did you go to school yesterday?" = "You yesterday go (past tense) school (Question marker)"

2018-11-11 04:36:52 UTC  

@Virgil ooof sometimes I feel the need to correct people when they pronounce their own surnames incorrectly

2018-11-11 04:37:00 UTC  

Spanish is a POC language here and that's on the Spanish Empire

2018-11-11 04:37:06 UTC  

Sad!

2018-11-11 04:37:17 UTC  

we love our meds

2018-11-11 04:37:20 UTC  

Japanese grammar is weird

2018-11-11 04:37:23 UTC  

People with Polish last names always find the ugliest ways to mispronounce them, too.

2018-11-11 04:37:29 UTC  

No conjugation for person, but conjugation for mood

2018-11-11 04:37:34 UTC  

and tense, and aspect
