Non-native language

Vanessa

Yes!🙂I tested it too!

It seems german tend to "mark" syllables more,right?It sounds like each syllable is almost separated from the other ones...

Laura

Vanessa Yes!🙂I tested it too!

It's obvious without testing, because your name is pronounced contrary to the general rules of the French language

Angelina

Vanessa

that's right, our language sounds a bit more broken and hard, at least for french people 😉
i think we sound soft for russians 😂

Max9

Angelina i think we sound soft for russians

or spanish

Vanessa

Angelina our language sounds a bit more broken and hard, at least for french people 😉

I confirm!😉

Angelina although i have friends who learn spanish and i'm not quite sure if spanish or german grammar is harder because both have their "specialties"

I think french is harder to learn!😉

Ines writing it rightly or not, we are able to communicate in English, and I doubt we could do it if we choose another language.

I think so,too.

Max9

Google can traduce it very well,at least! 🤣

Max9

I don't remember if it is for chinese,japanese or both,but I've read a bit about it,and it seems some signs can be used for letters or syllables,but they can use signs too for complete words...I think it can be very hard to learn to speak/write it well.

Angelina i was on holiday in the canary islands almost every year before corona. it sounds fast but not hard, but maybe we perceive hard differently

The "j" especially is a hard "r".

Angelina

Max9 or spanish

i would disagree, i don't find spanish very hard either, just very fast. but i'll pass the question on to @Ines, so how does german sound to you ?

Ines

Angelina
As Spanish, it sounds hard, for example, French or Portuguese sound "soft".
However is a language with very complete and complex grammar that makes it hard for learn, but when you can use it, it is very accurate and clear.

Angelina

Ines

well, i expected german to sound hard for spanish people

although i have friends who learn spanish and i'm not quite sure if spanish or german grammar is harder because both have their "specialties"

Max9

Angelina As someone who also speaks spanish I can admit that spanish does sound hard... at least to me...

Ines

Angelina
Both have very complex grammar, opposite to English that it has "relatively" easy grammar.
Here, for example, writing it rightly or not, we are able to communicate in English, and I doubt we could do it if we choose another language.

Angelina

Ines

i agree, and even though i am not an english expert, there have been no big problems in communication so far. 😂

Max9 I can admit that spanish does sound hard... at least to me...

i was on holiday in the canary islands almost every year before corona. it sounds fast but not hard, but maybe we perceive hard differently

Max9

I admit that if I had to learn other letters in addition to the other language, I would be completely overwhelmed and I only know the Greek alphabet from mathematics lessons and I have never used it to form words. 😂

Max9

Well, a complex grammar isn't always something bad... I mean... for example somepeople prefer french over english... it's more about both being easy: thr grammar and the vocabulary.... for example the russian language has such an easy grammar - it really does - but the vocabulary are just so different from the words we are used to here in europe.

Max9

Это потому, что русский язык принадлежит к совершенно другой языковой семье.

Max9

And just think about the letters itself... I mean, sure thr Russian letters are different, but acrually pretty easy to learn... about as easy as the greek alphabet.
But if you think about the cineese alphabet with its 100 and something letters .... oh my mind... over 100 letters that all look about the same to me... tgerefore the grammer is said to be pretty easy...

Angelina

Vanessa I think french is harder to learn!😉

as a foreign language dyslexic i find both difficult 🤣

Vanessa The "j" especially is a hard "r".

and double L is J 😉

Joh

Vanessa I don't remember if it is for chinese,japanese or both,but I've read a bit about it,and it seems some signs can be used for letters or syllables,but they can use signs too for complete words...I think it can be very hard to learn to speak/write it well.

Chines have not letters the have kanjis. To read a newspaper, I heard, you need to know min 2000 kanjis.
Kanjis are build with radical and here is a online tool to find the kanji.

Japanese have two letters, Hiragana and Katagana. Hiragana is used for Japanese or Chinas origin and Katakana for foreign origin. The also use Kanjis.
Japanese gramma is not so complicated what makes it difficult are the different forms of possibilities

Vanessa

Angelina and double L is J 😉

In fench,it can be a "l" or a sort or y"!😉

Angelina

Vanessa

interesting, i think i need to take a language course sometime 😉

Vanessa

Angelina

In french?

Angelina

Vanessa In french?

maybe, on the other hand, maybe I should improve my english first before I think about other foreign languages 😉

Vanessa

Angelina

Your english is understandable,no problem to discuss in this language,most of the time,I think.

Angelina

Vanessa Your english is understandable,no problem to discuss in this language,most of the time,I think.

thank you, although i have to admit that english is my worst subject at school 😂
