Yup, half assed teaching on pronunciations

Like Pacific Ocean. The c is pronounced 3 different ways!

My Spanish teacher in highschool was from Mexico City and only ever taught us from the textbook

I was told by an american i couldnt possibly be mexican because im white. Talk about racism.

que chistoso, a la primera pronunciación no le noté el acento sólo la escuché como mejor pronunciada :0

Well im Puerto Rican and I dont find it offensive in any way, soo dont listen that people❤ Im actually surprised and excited that you pick Puerto Rican Spanish everyone I know say its really hard because we talk too fast Keep going!❤

I'm not from Puerto Rico but I'm Spanish and it's way better if you use some hispanic accent rather than english accent while talking in spanish, we appreciate the effort, don't listen to people who don't even speak the language to begin with

QUE RAWRO

Fuck all these white people talking about cultural appropiation, use our fucking accent as much as you want, none of us are getting offended except maybe 14 yr old girls but i aint worried about their opinions, let them get offended

I was so confused like I thought that was normal English?? Maybe im just too Texan idk...

😂

Speaks language with the accent that the language, or people who speak the language have adopted: ❌ Speaks language and purposely sounding like a high schooler who couldn’t get past B2 fluency: ✅

Preach!

"So you're telling me my community doesn't have a monopoly on how my language is used?" don't tell that to the french

my first language is somali and my second arabic i speak English as third and French as fourth

Standard English dictates that a double negative cancel out each other, indicating that it's multiplicative. But many other languages and even certain English dialects treat double negatives as additive, so it just emphasizes the severity.

It’s astonishing how many people don’t understand this. toki li ken la ale li pona.

Native english speaker here; this speaking pattern is pretty normal in certain parts of the U.S. as well. I use it often, and I live in the PNW.

Perfect summary

I disagree with the idea that it’s what their native language is. To me it all depends on if they’re getting a good English education and exposed to it

No one thinks or says this

Naw I'm pretty sure English is the only language where spelling words becomes harder the more you write them down. Most English words are the bane of my existence especially "squeeze" and "foreign"

It's also annoying to those of us who know endangered languages and are trying to keep them around.

English is ok but it has one feature missing compare to Polish: 1 shape 1 sound I hate guessing spelling

Try learning Japanese and imagine that learning Japanese for you is what English feels like to them.

Who dat?

Im an american who knows french, is learning japanese, and will study russian for my next job. Do what you want!❤

“It’s literally la lingua franca” 😂

From latvians, yes english is easy bc LV has harder gramm (gramatick center?)

Semitic vs latin origins Arabic and english Both are hard lmao

me when I skinny dip into a blackhole.

English is not easy at all. It is statistically one of the hardest languages to learn

I GREW UP with English, so of course I'll say it is easy. But the rules, grammar and syntax, AND sounds are vastly different from Czech.

English is easy. Lead and lead: are we a joke to you? France has at least rules to learn

I’m a Portuguese speaker, and my language comes from Latin, which made it easier for me to learn English. In fact, many people consider English to be one of the easiest languages to learn due to its grammar and vocabulary, where many words can have multiple meanings. English is easy to learn; the real challenge is how people can access the educational resources needed to learn a language.

English was easy for me to learn, because my native language also is a germanic language. Alot of similar words and sentence structure. But for asian people its 10 times as hard

No language is easy or hard that would be oversimplifying it languages can be harder or easier to learn based on your native language a spanish guy may have an easy time learning french but struggle with Russian and vice versa depending on how closely or distantly related the language you know and the language you are larning are the easier or harder it will be

Strawman Argument Fallacy

As a german, yes english is easy. It literally evolved from german dialects, with a bunch of latin which influenced german too and france. But I can imagine it's really different for a native suaheli or mandarin speaker

People are dumb nowadays:p

English is easy

W loop

😂

I hate how frequently I experience this shit in real life. Nothing makes my organs grind together more brutally than this. It always makes me want to throw more 'like's into my speech out of pure spite.

pona tawa sina

Can we just go back to proto languages the originals? Or why not talk at all.

wait till that dude finds out about PIE...
