    I understand that Polish has a lot of glitches but I am kindly to inform you that Polish is in the early access, currently at 0.69 update. Many Poles living in Poland are also upset about many of those bugs you mentioned, that's why you rarely see any Pole smiling. Our dev team is trying their hardest to chisel out those bugs and make the experience better. We are expecting full 1.0 release of Polish in 2067 but that's optimistic seeing. The pessimistic one is that Polish 1.0 will release in 2108

    Before getting into Korean I thought the alphabet was going to be really hard to grasp upon looking at it, but the fact is it's actually so easy and intuitive as it's completely phonetical (with some different pronunciation rules here and there).

      Изучение русского полностью изменило моё отнешение к немецкому языку (или, во всяком случае, к его грамматике). Раньше я также считал что немецкая грамматика сложна, а теперь, усвоив грамматику русского, грамматика немецкого мне стало намного понятнее. Жаль, однако, что по-одному придётся выучить к какому роду принадлежат сушествительные в немецком.
      (Я носитель голландского и хотя немецкий и голландский языки родственны, падежей нет в голландском с 1940-го года. Они и тогда уже не исползовались в повседневной жизни. В остальном же грамматика в обоих языках очень похожа)

      @@stella4913 How do you say your sentences? With a "po"? Do you say "yes" by saying "opo"? "Po" is a formal indicator, meaning that it turns sentences into formal and respectful speech (from my understanding). "Ho" is less formal, while none at all is informal, but you don't often hear those "po" and "ho" probably unless they're talking to seniors (as in those in the workplace or those of old age).
      I always disliked having to learn the language because the conjugations don't make sense to me, but I like that you don't have to use such big words to turn sentences into polite and respectful ones.

    The hardest thing about french is the fact they only pronounce 1% of the word (like in Qu'est-ce que you only pronounce like the "qeceqe" part)
    The hardest thing about English is that they have 1 million different ways to pronounce a few letters like: Trough ("oo" sound)
    Though ("oh" shound)
    Touch ("o/u" sound)
    Tough ("off" sound)
    Etc.

    Like

    Like

    As a Hungarian I think the thing most people trying to recreationally learn the language mess up are the pronunciation of letters. The issue is, that we literally have an entirely phonetic alphabet and in order to have enough letters for all basic sounds there are a few double letters. This literally means that certain combinations of letters next to each other are treated as an entirely different letter. The topic where this comes up most often is how 'Budapest' is pronounced because 's' in and of itself is the same sound as the first letter of 'sure' while 'sz' (a double letter) is the way English pronunces 's' in the alphabet.
    Anyways, people often hear how we have a phonetic language and try to say the words but sound somewhat silly and very obviously foreign by misinterpreting what sound letters actually stand for.

    • @BenefitCounterbench
      @BenefitCounterbench ปีที่แล้ว +3

      But the Hungarian alphabet is 200 IQ. Combine 's' (English sh) with 'z', and say it fast > you get 'sz' (English s). Put 'c' (English tz / German z) + 's' = 'cs' (English ch).

    as a turk, yes, we do have long words actually. because there is always a suffix after suffix.. which never ends. and i think another one of the hardest things about turkish is that normally the verb is at the end of the sentence and you put the object between subject and the verb, which sometimes makes me forget what i was gonna say. the suffix the object takes changes according to the verb you're using, so you should already know what you're gonna say before you start forming the sentence. of course, it's flexible and we understand what you mean even if you use the wrong suffix

    The worst part about any languaje is that sometimes every one of them express the exact same thing in a completely different way, all of which kind of make sense, and when you try to say something in a different way that also makes sense, suddenly, what you say doesn't make sense. Sometimes, it's different for every thing. For example, let's say someone wants to express that a thing makes them feel scared, depending on the languaje they could say it like this:
    I have fear
    I scared
    It scary
    I'm fearful
    I feel fear
    I am scared
    It scares me
    I am scared

    as a dutch I must agree whit what he is saying, we'll switch to English as soon as we hear that you are not a native speaker, and we can tell it very soon as soon as someone pronounces the "g" incorrectly. (And I have never seen a none native speaker pronounce that one right except for language simp). (and if you say that you do not speak English we will not beleave you because you look like an American, should not have eaten in the McDonald (: . There are also many ways to say a 'g' in Dutch witch depend on from where in the Netherlands or Belgium the speaker is. But as soon as a non native speaker uses it, we will notice and switch to English.
    and if you think that the average dutch speakers speaks better English than I do, then you are right (:

    English is hard because its writing is far from phonetic, especially for vowels (throw, toe, though, yo); there are more sounds than many languages; it has articles; many rules have exceptions; there are many different sentence structures. Learners from other languages are often surprised that English speakers "can say the same thing in 8 different ways".

    Greek is like what you said about Russian but Russian doesn't have articles while Greek has 3 gendered articles and they all have the singular and plural table. Ancient Greek is a bonus because it has more ways to say the same words/articles. Also the grammar in Ancient Greek resembles what you said about German too with their uses of infinitive but it is even harder and weirder because of the multiple infinitives verbs can have.
