The worst part about any languaje is that sometimes every one of them express the exact same thing in a completely different way, all of which kind of make sense, and when you try to say something in a different way that also makes sense, suddenly, what you say doesn't make sense. Sometimes, it's different for every thing. For example, let's say someone wants to express that a thing makes them feel scared, depending on the languaje they could say it like this: I have fear I scared It scary I'm fearful I feel fear I am scared It scares me I am scared It scares It gives fear It put fear on me I put scare on it It is feared It is feared by me I fear it It calms not I calmed not I'm not calmed Fear it Scare me

as a turk, yes, we do have long words actually. because there is always a suffix after suffix.. which never ends. and i think another one of the hardest things about turkish is that normally the verb is at the end of the sentence and you put the object between subject and the verb, which sometimes makes me forget what i was gonna say. the suffix the object takes changes according to the verb you're using, so you should already know what you're gonna say before you start forming the sentence. of course, it's flexible and we understand what you mean even if you use the wrong suffix

The gardest thing about German is that the article differs depending on gender/plural and context Like der Mann des Mannes dem Mann den Mann die Frau der Frau Hardest thing about Dutch is the number of exceptations in Dutch. Like "Jongen" (boy) allways is "De jongen" (gendered atricle) Unless its a small boy "Het jongentje" (neutral article) The past participle of a word allways ends on a D (like in "Ik heb gerend") unless the "stam" (verb without "en" of a word (like "gokken" becomes "gokk-")) ends on a t,k,f,s,c,h,p or x.

As a Hungarian I think the thing most people trying to recreationally learn the language mess up are the pronunciation of letters. The issue is, that we literally have an entirely phonetic alphabet and in order to have enough letters for all basic sounds there are a few double letters. This literally means that certain combinations of letters next to each other are treated as an entirely different letter. The topic where this comes up most often is how 'Budapest' is pronounced because 's' in and of itself is the same sound as the first letter of 'sure' while 'sz' (a double letter) is the way English pronunces 's' in the alphabet. Anyways, people often hear how we have a phonetic language and try to say the words but sound somewhat silly and very obviously foreign by misinterpreting what sound letters actually stand for.

[@BenefitCounterbench]

But the Hungarian alphabet is 200 IQ. Combine 's' (English sh) with 'z', and say it fast > you get 'sz' (English s). Put 'c' (English tz / German z) + 's' = 'cs' (English ch).

[@YassinCetin]

Italian here, the word "Gli" doesn't really have any word that can sound similar in English, however it is similar to "yee", the letters "gl" when followed by an "i" are a digraph (namely two letters that represent a single sound), and are therfore pronounced "lyee" or "yee" as in the words "figli", "aglio" or "fogli" which are pronounced "feelyee", "alyeeo" and "foyee" however I want to point out how the "g" isn't almost pronounced at all, even though "gl" when followed by any other vowel is pronounced just as in English "glass", "glow", "glum", etc... btw at 6:32 is that done on purpose?

[@aimeucuzinho]

I didn't expect the "até logo" sign-off there, lol. Bro, the fact that you *chose* to learn the Castilian dialect/accent in Spanish kinda blows my mind. I attended a pt-br/es-es high school and that's where I learned Spanish, but every time I would interact with any Latin Americans in Spanish, they would just rip on me for sounding like a fucking Spaniard, lmao. I've since been able to better assimilate a more generic Latin American accent through interactions with Venezuelans and Peruvians at work and in my personal life. But yeah, gigachad though you may be, that Castilian accent sounds pretentious af coming outta you as an American, ngl, RIP, sorry. But I love your videos! :D

[@annaheart7731]

I liked (and can confirm) the russian part about cases and the german part about the verb (or more precisely the prefix of the verb) which has to land in the end of the phrase. I'd also add the capital letters for all nouns (so you could search in dictionnary and dont find the words which turn out to be the names) and congregation 2-3-4 words in one word (like the tall boy in a red sweater would be Redsweateredtallboy - the first reaction of your brain, seeing such word, is to be immediately tiered and want to do something else instead of learnign German).

Hi i speak farsi (aka iranian) The two hardest thing about farsi are that literally everyone thinks you are talking arabic. But the second thing is that if you wanna learn farsi... U need to learn LIKE A THOUSAND poetry books too. Like BRO there is a book called (kings letter) and its a thousand pages of PURE POETRY. And the funny part is that most modern iranians literally understand NONE of it. I read the 1 first page and i was like "yeah i give up"
