yeh indonesian is way easier than english or french which have sooo many tenses and then exceptions and then exceptions to exceptions! gah… oh and with french, the subjonctive is crazy and unnessesary! If English is the lingua France with no use for the sobjunctive, why use it!

Greeks and Cypriots speak the same language but the Greeks cannot understand Cypriot even if the Cypriots understands Greek.
I am greek and i am learning English all i can say is that greek language is very beautiful and has many many words to learn. it was easier for me to learn english than greek. italiano and spanish are very easy learn languages, chinese and hindu are the harderst languages

i like romanian other than greek its probably the purest western language still going, its hardly evolved, and i think if you look at romanian as it is a latin based language that hasn´t evolved because of its geography that a lot of the english words from ´french´are just as similar in romanian and also pronounced more like english, i used to work in a bar in spain an there was these 2 romanian guys sat havin a drink and i could hear them but wasnt really listening and then it thought thats a weird english accent, and turns out it was romanian, so i also believe that english sounds like romanian

yes, you can amend, but you can’t MAKE AMEND. The point is that you can make amends but not make amend. Then again, you can make changes, but you can’t make change unless you make money, but even then you can’t make moneys.

My French teacher is a very bright person, he can speak French, Dutch, English, German and Chinese fluently. Languages such as Swedish, Norwegian, Italian and Spanish are not hard for him, since he has so much experience in writing, reading and speaking the other languages. He is currently learning ancient Persian. He told me that Asian languages are, by FAR, the hardest of languages to learn. It has taken him more time to learn Chinese than all of his other languages together.
