well, just typing in English in this forum definitely helps. I'm learning a second language (spanish) and practice, whether written or oral, definitely helps. Keep at it, you're looking great! :D

any language is hard to learn if you didn't grow up speaking it. some are more difficult than others, but you get the point.

and the grammar is quite different from other European languages, and other languages in general.

well, it's one of the more difficult languages if it's not your first language. but I agree, French is another hard one to learn. Spanish is easy compared to French. Then again, French is easy compared to Chinese (my next project).

Japanese doesn't have all those weird tonal things that Chinese has. They also have a fairly discernible grammar, so I thing Chinese wins for most difficult language to learn.

Remember this, English and American are now different language.
We say Eraser they say Rubber, Canadians say, Eraser eh.
We say Pants, they say Trousers, Canadians say, Pants/Trousers eh.
We say ****************************, they say ****, Canadians say any amount of **** with an eh.

We: Americans
They: English

The last one was made up. :lol:
Yes, I was born in America.

French? Well, I can't say it's easy, but if you want to know a hard language to learn, you can find harder than French. Try Polish - the language of missing vowels. (or so it seems)

First of all, I can tell you've never been to Canada Kelvin11. We speak with the exact same accent as Americans (except Texans, who could use a course in sophistication 101), and the "eh" thing is a pure myth. We do incorperate "eh" once in a while, but not that often. I do agree though that Americans curse more than Canadians, which is a habit you guys should watch. Oh, and Celcius is so much better than Fahrenheit.

For me, the French is very easy. Just like Espagnõl. (2 languages that I can speak). I find the French easy because I was born in France. The easy Spaniard because I makes of the Spaniard. The rather hard English but I makes some nevertheless.
