Angelina this is an exception, in general german is a difficult language 😂

Nahh, German isn't difficult at all. We just don't like to play Scrabble, because in German, there are words like "Fußbodenschleifmaschinenverleih" 🤣 🤣 🤣

      German is difficult even for many Germans

      scrabble is a terrible game, high potential for conflict 😂

          Angelina scrabble is a terrible game, high potential for conflict 😂

          Oh yes, very high. Almost as bad as Monopoly.

            Angelina It's pronunciation matches the spelling. This is a great advantage. Also "der/die" means the same as "le/la" 😂

                Laura Also "der/die" means the same as "le/la"

                nevertheless it is difficult for people who speak english because these words do not exist in english, there is no such differentiation

                    Laura Yes that's exactly the meaning. Many German words are that easy. Just a combination of two other words, like Kindergarten, kinder means child and Garten is like garden, means a place for supervised growing.

                        Not easier for me!😉 But shorter,sure.

                        Right! 🤣

                        Laura

                        🤣

                        Many people think french is a very hard language,too.

                        Angelina

                        Right,"le" and "la" is "the" in english;even if "les" is supposed to be "thee",I rarely noticed it used,it is often "the" which is used too.

                        As "you";which can mean "tu"(one person),"vous(several persons)or "vous"(google trad seems to not know an english trad for "vouvoiement" or "tutoiement"!😛 Let's say "vouvoiement" is something we use when we're not close to someone,or,sometimes,a sign of respect,while "tutoiement" is mainly for friends,family,etc...Even if there is many other cases.).

                                    Vanessa Many people think french is a very hard language,too.

                                    would you confirm or deny that?

                                    we use the words "sie" und "du"

                                    where the word "sie" stands for several things and you can only see what means what from the context

                                          Angelina would you confirm or deny that?

                                          I tend to agree.

                                          Angelina we use the words "sie" und "du"

                                          where the word "sie" stands for several things and you can only see what means what from the context

                                          A bit more like it's in french than like it's in english.

                                                just the word "sie" can stand

                                                for a polite address
                                                a number of persons
                                                a female person

                                                so very complicated, for non-native speakers

                                                    Angelina

                                                    Similar for "vous" in France,except for the female person.

                                                    So I think it is easier to understand for french speakers!😉
