This is our English exam mode, what do you think? In China, if you don't pass the English four levels of tests, not only the graduation is a problem, and looking for a job after graduation will be very difficult. Be able to endure loneliness, will be very close to success, wealth and career will be away from us, but thought eternal. |

This is our English exam mode, what do you think? Yes English is hard probably the hardest language to learn and it also depends what country as America spell some words different to us in Australia which is more closely to England . I suppose that because English is made up of many different languages doesn't help . As you guys learn English we are learning Cantonese in our schools you never know maybe in a few decades we will have to learn your language and have the same problem about getting a job as there are a lot more of you guys than us and your economy is becoming the largest one on the planet ..... |

This is our English exam mode, what do you think? Though I had heard once, that Russian is harder than English to learn, but that is only what I heard. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I had a Serb aunt who spoke nine languages. The more languages you know the easier to learn a new one. On my experience, German is more difficult, then English, French and Spanish in descending order. Tullio |

If you really want to learn a language, you need to stay in the coutry for a few years. English is mainly confusing because spelling very often isn't phonetical. Besides that, I've always heard that German is amonst the most difficult languages to learn (of the european ones) - because our grammer has more exceptions than rules. @tullio - if you speak Spanish, Italian or Portuguese the others of the set are no problem at all and French only takes a little effort. And as with everything, practise makes perfect. You need to have your errors corrected now and again of course to improve - can't improve if you don't know you're doing something wrong. That's of course once you are past the stage of simply expanding your vocabulary. There reading a lot helps. As to translation sites - they only get you so far. You're good if you use an onlione dictionary and pick the right word out of the possible dozen. And good luck Zhao with your test. A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.

German grammar is like Latin grammar, it helps having studied Latin (I have). Tullio |

I don’t understand it; over here in the back woods of Canada we have very small children speaking English. |
