is english the most difficult language to write?

I believe that practice makes perfect. The person who wiling to learn sure his will power help him to learn fast. This is make him to learn whether it is hard. At least English Language can someone to communicate with other people in other country. This is because English known as second language.

No, English is my second language. Here in the Philippines, it is the second language that was taught to us since grade school. Anyone can write using the English language but the problem is that there would be error when it comes to grammar. I do believe it takes a lot of time to learn something new. With constant practice one must will learn the language well.

hi ajk my son and I were just talking about that and how so many wo ds sound the same but are spelled differently like to in go to or I have two ice cream cones, Or I want to go too. Now this could throw those who use English as a second language. I am also an American and speak Anmerican english as opposed to lifts for elevators and bonnets for hoods etc.chips for french fries and on and on. american English but not so good in English English lol lol oh yes petrol for gasoline,nappies for diapers and on and on.I speak American English fluently and can guess at britishs English and aussie English lol lol

I don't think English is a hard language to learn.My mother tongue is Telugu as I am from south India.The common language for most Indians other than Hindi is English as there are numerous languages spoken across the length and breadth of India.As a youngster,i found my mother tongue and Hindi more difficult to learn as compared to English.They are more complex.Similarly in High school,i found French more difficult than English.My short coming in English are more due to lack of effort than the difficulty in learning the language.

Actually if a child is born in a family where the mother and father speak different language and uses that language to communicate with the child , then the child will grown up knowing to converse in those 2 language , actually it depends how interests are your in learning new language.Like for example , india wife and american wife married together , the child will grown up learning hindi and english .

even though english is somewhat tough,many non speaking mylotters love the english language. nowadays many people don't find it difficult because many countries teach english to their students.for some people speaking is easy and writing is difficult. we can manage to speak well because no one is cared about our grammar while speaking. but writing is recorded in some medium and we should be careful about our grammar. so writing english will be somewhat tough compared to speaking.

I feel great sympathy for anyone trying to learn English as a second language. Even people born in the United States have problems with the language. So many words have many spellings and meanings. Plus the language is constantly changing. My Mom and I had many discussions about learning the language, and that each decade brings more changes to the American (English, Australian) language.

You think? Try Chinese!

I worked as a writing tutor in my university and one of the most common issues we had was the ESL students (English as a Second Language) not understanding different parts of the language. The Asian students, for example, had a hard time understanding articles. They don't have a word for "the" or "a" in their language. Where we say "I went to the store" they translated "I went to store" from their native language. It was one of the hardest issues for the tutors because the was just something we'd grown up understanding. If we were taught why it was at a very young age, long enough ago that we'd forgotten why. So to tell someone who spoke a different language that they needed to add words when we really didn't understand ourselves why we use them, was very challenging. For us and for our clients. Likewise, where we use the same word to mean more than one thing - power, for example, can mean control, authority, or assertion and it can also mean energy, force or electricity. But in other languages, there is often one translation for authority and another completely to mean energy. So, based on my own experiences, teaching writing to people who were not native English speakers, yes, I definitely think our language presents a lot of difficulty for people trying to learn it.

Hi ajk. You are an absolute riot. I can speak those 3 also. I have never given it a thought that english is the toughest language to write since that is mostly all I've ever written. Spanish and German both are pretty tough as far as I feel about it.

For those who have ardently and painstakingly learnt the language both speaking and writing becomes easy and free flowing regardless of where they come from. It also depends on the opportunities one has to use the language on a day to day basis.

All time another language that is not our Native language to Learn is difficult but written without Grammer mistakes and spelling mistakes is take More time. We can able to catch that quickly always it's less Quality compare with our native. We have less Knowledge only in those language compare with our native one. Always learning new language other than our native Language is little Difficult also. I think in my view English also the Same, it's tough to learn Quickly without Spells mistake and Grammer Mistakes. I want to say one think, if we communicate People they understood what we want to say is enough for the Language.

I think what makes English hard is that people tend to use a lot of slang words and these words arent in the dictionary so they cant be looked up. That makes things difficult for people who dont speak English.

the second language is difficult,but english is not most diffcult

I'm a Filipino aside from our own dialect I tried to learn some English words for I can communicate to other's foreign friend who talk English too. Ha ha ha sometimes I admit my English is not good and I'm thankful to mylot friend who patiently understood my English.

Why did you say that English is difficult language and to write where this language is the most easiest to understand and learn. What about Chinese language and words? The korean, french, german, japanese, russian and arabic. They are the most language that difficult to understand and write... I even not write a single words in Chinese and Japanese. Your in the United Kingdom, and I think you know better English language than us here in Asia. But I wonder why you said it here? English, American and Australian is the same as English, my friend. They are only different accents...Even me I understand American English, Australian or even those English accents in London or UK. As far as I know; US,UK, Canada and Australia are not different language they used but English...

When you come to learn Chinese, you wouldn't say this any more

I'm from the Philippines and in school, we have a lot of English subjects. Not literally English but teachers do speak in English when discussing other subjects like Home Economics, Politics, Mathematics and a lot more. So basically, we really need to learn that language. That's why I think to some Filipinos, they're not having much hard time dealing with plain English as a vocabulary. But yes, honestly, some are still having wrong grammars. And I admit that I'm sometimes one of them. So being here in mylot practices more my English language.

even my English is not pretty good, I'm so excited and in love with this language.for me this is one of easier language to learn.and the most difficult language to write and speak is Chinese ( Mandarin ). I've learned Chinese when I was Senior High School and for three years, but result nothing. Their letter even hard for me to understand. have you ever learn about Chinese?

I'm sorry, but I just have to ask. Do you really consider those three to be different languages? I mean, they're all basically English, just with some different pronunciation, slang and stuff. Anyway, I've always heard English is one of the most easy languages out there. Why is that? Because it has very little complexity, sentences are simple and verb tenses as well. By the way, my native language is Spanish, not English.
