Why English is so difficult? I know many languages, but the worst language I have ever learnt is English. And the fact is, English is not a one language, it is at least mixture of 3 languages. There are many clues to this fact. Just think about noun in English, many rules came to many other languages. Also English has many weaknesses such as letter "S". They use S for everything, plural form of noun, possessive, third person verb and so on. Poor English dose not have second person pronoun, and you all are you!

Why is English so Difficult?

 

I know many languages, but the worst language I have ever learnt is English. And The fact is, English is not a one language, but it is at least a mixture of at least three languages. There are many clues left behind from the other languages  this fact. Just think about nouns in English, many of the rules came from many other languages. Also, English has many weaknesses. such as One of which is the letter "S". English uses the letter 'S' for everything; the plural form of nouns, the possessive tense, third person, verbs and so on. Poor English, does not have a second person pronoun, and 'you all' could mean the same as 'you'!

 

- English has continuned to evolve over the years. Latin, French, the Romans, Vikings and the Normans influenced English in its early year. Even Shakespere has been credited for 1000s of words. Many English words were 'discovered,' from the colonies under the rule of the British Empire.

- The second person pronouns are “you,” “your,” and “yours.”

- I wouldn't say it's the hardest, but English is a hard language to learn! Spelling is difficult and words don't sound like they appear.

Compare to other languages. English claim that it has many advantages but I think there is more weaknesses instead. As far as I know, Arabic, French and German are all difficult to learn, but they are much more pure languages than English.
