Why is the English language so hard to learn?

In my opinion,English is the easiest language to learn(Malay is my native language). It depends on how many foreign languages you have learnt. Before I learn German,I always think that English is hard.But after I know German,I realise German is harder. Then,I learn Japanese and I find that it is harder than English,but easier than German. After I learn six foreign languages,I make a conclusion about each of them: 1.English-the easiest for me. 2.German-easy to pronounce,hard to understand,hard to write with grammatically correct. 3.Japanese-easy to understand,easy to pronounce,hard to write. 4.Korean-hard to pronounce,50-50 to write,50-50 to understand. 5.Mandarin-hard to pronounce,50-50 to understand,hard to write. 6.Arabic-the hardest for me! 7.Malay-my native language.No big deal. So,if you think English is hard to learn,I suggest you learn other language which is harder than English to learn.It works for me. So that,your brain will automatically declare that English is easier since you know there is other harder language to learn.

English is not as difficult as known.I think this is the one and the only global language which can be understood by most of the person on earth.This language is not difficult.Any body with the perfect thought to practice can easily learn this.One thing must be remembered that we don't need to think against it.Also a tips that even try to think in English.This way we can know it better.

I find English the easiest language to learn.

I think what makes English hard is tthe rules itself.I took up a semester of Graduate Studies majoring in English and let me tell you it was freaking hard.You start with the most basic like the theories, morphologies,structure and so forth.I now have great admiration for linguist.With regards to the 'right'/'exact' way of learning,my opinion is that there is none, coz there is no such things a perfect English anymore.As long as you can communiate well and practice the language in a daily basis.

I'll tell you why it's not a lot of fun dear, because there are so many grammatical anomalies and exceptions to the rules. You're right, our language is terribly confusing for the non-native speaker. You're clearly doing quite well though. :)

It is hard to learn, but you don't have to be an expert to be able to comunicate using the english language. People, especially the professionals understand that people of different races have different accents thus may speak oddly. I think, it is enough that we know the fundamentals of grammar---and these are the alphabet and the parts of speech, to be able to understand the lessons that come with them.

I am not a nitive English speaker. but I think I have no problem in speaking standard English, besides some slangs, cause I have been speaking English for quite a longe time. Let me share you some English Learning Tips: ? Getting out of a learning rut For many learners of English, expressing simple ideas can be quite easy. However, when you have mastered the basics of English, it can be a bigger challenge to express exactly what you want to say- in the way you want to say it. For this reason, many learners at intermediate level can find themselves in a learning rut- able to express their ideas but unable to make progress to a more sophisticated level of language use. In this extract from English Makeover, language teaching expert Karen Adams gives you advice on how to get out if a learning rut. When reading the extract, imagine you have to describe it to an English-speaking friend. How many different adjectives could you use to describe the programme? I think a major problem which learners have when they get to an intermediate level is to do with motivation. By this level, most people can express their ideas fairly adequately. The grammar and vocabulary may be quite simple but they can get the ideas across. It is at this point that learners really have to find a need to learn more- to vary how they speak and the ideas they express. This can be quite hard if you have a small circle of friends and you all share the same interests- because you will probably talk about the same things all the time. And if you talk with the same people all the time, you are unlikely to need a very wide range of vocabulary and expression. My advice to students is usually to find a new hobby or interest. For example, if there is a cultural center in your town which shows films, why not go along to meet new people and talk about films? If that’s not possible, why not suggest that your language school or learning circle start a drama club? By putting yourself in a position where you need to use English in a different way to normal, you give yourself the need to them. 1.Why can it be difficult to motivate yourself to learn when you are at an intermediate level? 2. What is Karen’s main suggestion for getting out of a learning rut? 5 top tips for getting your English out of a rut 1. Find something new to talk about. One useful way of doing this is to start a reading group with friends. Each month, arrange to read a different book (preferably in English) then have a meeting to discuss it- in English. Make sure you choose a variety of different books so that you have to learn some new vocabulary each time. 2. Meet new people. If you only speak English with friends, you will probably use the same, informal language all the time. By joining a new club or going to events where you know English will be spoken, you will need to use a different register of English. If this isn’t possible, forming a drama club can help you to create opportunities for using English in different ways. 3. Activate what you know already. Even in our first language, we all know or understand more words that we actively use. Try to test your knowledge by ‘brainstorming’. Think of a topic and give yourself 5 minutes to write down all the words you know related to that topic. You may be surprised by how many you can remember. 4.Vary the programmes you listen to. For example, if you only listen to sports programmes, you will limit the vocabulary you learn to sport-related words. The wider the variety you listen to, the wider your vocabulary will become. 5.Set yourself some new learning goals. You can now express you ideas- but what would you like to be able to do next? By setting yourself clear goals to achieve over the next month, you will be able to revitalize your approach to learning English.

To be honest I have never really thought of it being hard to learn, but I am an American and that is what I was taught. I have taught myself parts of spanish and to me that is confusing, One word means so many,and things are said backwards instead of the way we say them. So looking at that I guess I can see where it may be difficult. Burst and Busted are two different words with 2 different meanings, some words have lots of different meanings, learn the basics first once you have mastered that then go for the more coplicated stuff, the basics that i mean are your nouns,verbs,pronouns, action words. I suggest a cd or game on a K or 1st grade level, it's not to be mean but that is where the basic words are, they sell them on the internet, My kids started that way, you can do a search on ebay or something like that, for preschool threw 1st grade reading cds. I hope it helps.

I don't think it is hard to learn English. For the people not from english speaking countries, if you have interest in it, you will not regard it as a hard to learn language. But it will very difficult to be prefect, you have to work hard hard and hard.

I know it's confusing. I have grown up with the English language being American and half the time I have no clue what some people are talking about because of they way they speak. It does have to do with the way other countries look at English though. Americans have a lot of slang terms they use that other countries really don't know about. I think in the end, Americans are wrong and other countries are right in their usage of English. At least you learn proper English.
