[@johnhonai4601]

I am from India. We were taught English since grade 1. Therefore imo, one can be fluent in any language which was taught to them since childhood. Though pronounciation may be different compared to native speakers, proficiency in writing can be as good as native speaker.

[@ArseneGray]

Nah mate, English is way easier than French or German. Trust me. I am not saying it is "easy" but definitely easier. French pronunciation will f you up and German grammar is hell. Italian's grammar exceptions will test your memory and that beautiful singing melody is not easy to learn. Spanish is OK though.

@@ArseneGray I'd actually say French pronunciation is pretty logical once you've learned it. Of course there are irregularities, but it's not that many.

Hell, even for someone who considers English as a second language, I find that word to be utterly difficult to pronounce without stumbling on a few syllables.

The second one has more consistent rules and it comes from Greek, so the French have a cognate word almost exactly like it just pronounced with different (but both-ways consistent) rules. Thorough is a Germanic word, not closely related to anything in French, and since the loss of an actual gh sound spelt with the well known cursed ‘ough’, which is very irregular in English.

[@iris_nazarena_4882]

This was adorable. And as a French learner, I never struggled with "écureuil" and was always praised for my accent. On the other hand, learning Arabic has humbled me. Some of those words are truly impossible!

In the early 60s my dad was studying at American University in Aix. He brought his Norton Mortorcycle with Massachusetts license plates and driver’s license. The font used on the licenses used a medial S that looked like an ‘f’, and he would cackle with delight recalling the French police struggling to pronounce “maffachufetts.” RIP. Miss you dad.

Definitely shows how different languages requires the difference in movement of the jaw, mouth and tongue to create words.

[@matheussanthiago9685]

right it's a physical activity as much as an intellectual one and I've noticed that just as a with physical activity, I get better after warming up as a non native speaker, when I do English, my accent sucks less 2-4 minutes in than it did at the very beginning

[@MisterIncog]

Yeah, but… not really. Different languages do require different jaw movements etc, that’s the reason non-native speakers will never talk as natives. However, examples in this vids are mostly from people who didn’t even study english properly (which is completely fine). They weren’t just having problems with pronunciation, they couldn’t even read the words properly. I, for example, know this words and can pronounce them correctly even though my mother tongue is very far from English. It might sound a bit off, sure, but nothing like square friend.

well jeweler is pretty hard for people that speak another language so

[@hornkraft9438]

Jeweller used to have two ll's because it followed an older English spelling rule. Now they just dumb it down in the U.S. because "spelling is too hard!" The word "travelling" as been dumbed down for the same reason. (Originally, double the final consonant and add "ing" because you keep the vowel neutral instead of bright.)
