(Anonymous) 2008-03-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)Try one of the easiest EVER.
O_o Try French, of any Chinese dialect, or German, or Russian... I don't know which languages you've learned so far, but English is really easy.
I know some elitists will say "OMG! English is my first language and I don't master because it's sooooo hard" and that is just STUPID, I don't think it's possible to "master" a language completely. All I know is that if I had to grade the difficulty of the languages I've learned/I'm learning, Japanese would be first and English last. Spanish is easier than French, though knowing one helps learning the other. Knowing English helps with German, though German is more complicated than Spanish.
Russian is probably harder than German but easier than French - I'm having problems putting it somewhere... I'd say as hard as French?... Hmm... It was more difficult for me but that's because it's so far from my first language...
Anyway, all in all, I have trouble finding a language EASIER than English, though I'm only fluent in 3 languages and okay in 3, I'm sure there are a lot of languages easier than English.
Finally, the reason English is so popular every where on the planer it NOT because Americans are oh so marvelous and great - though it's probably part of it - it's because it's EASY to learn.[/rant]

But then again, I would think Chinese is really hard because of the incredible amount of symbols you have to learn and how the fluctuation of your voice changes the meaning of the words, but I was told by a man who speaks fluent Chinese (not a native speaker), but says Japanese is the hardest language. I think Japanese is muuuuucccchhhh easier than Chinese. I have a friend who picked up French like a daily newspaper, but can't remember simple Spanish words.
Basically, I don't disagree with your words, but I think it probably just depends on the person. Some languages are easier for some people.
(And colonialism is a big part of it being a common business language. That and because for a while America was by far the most powerful country business-wise or something.)

(Anonymous) 2008-03-21 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)You obviously took my words out of context. Maybe you need to read better?
Re: 32
(Anonymous) 2008-03-21 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)However, if you think English is easy, you might want to look into Swahili. The gender categories are overwhelming and have a great impact even on the verbs.
