I love looking at that poll about whether your native language is hard to learn and all the native English speakers are like "#english is so contradictory it's so hard! #sorry to everyone who has to learn my language" and all the non native speakers are like "#english is so easy #my mother tongue is German hope you like articles" or "#i speak greek here's a new alphabet"
#im a native English speaker who has learnt another language to a decent degree of proficiency#i promise english is actually very easy#we have no word gender and only the/a as articles#a lot of irregular verbs lol but thats not that bad#you just have to learn those#english grammar is a lot less strict than other languages an imperfectly constructed sentence is normally still understandable#you can almost put the words where you want#if you want you can put the words wherever#see?#slightly different semantic meaning to natives but its the same concept#languages#english#language learner#text
