I love the Finnish language, though I wouldn't say it's very easy to learn. There are about a bazillion cases, so there's that. But regardless, that's the number one language I'd love to be able to master.😮

@@Deckbark it's true that they would be easier for English speakers because they're germanic languages, but interestingly languages like German and Icelandic are considered harder than something like Spanish.

I don’t agree with the ease of learning a Romance language if you’re a native English speaker. The verb tenses alone make the languages difficult to learn. The vocabulary may not be too difficult to master, but grammar can be complicated. As a native English speaker I have found learning Norwegian much easier both for grammar and vocabulary. It’s also made easier for me as I speak Dutch as a second language, so I see many similarities. In turn, I can read a bit of Danish and Swedish.

I'm learning Turkish! I just started picking up the language from watching Turkish dramas. I'm now fully immersed in learning to be fluent in the language. I'm lucky to have Turkish speaking people at a coffee shop one town over! My next challenge will be French!! I love your channel and content!

I speak English and French and have studied Italian and Russian. These mentioned languages are easier for English speakers, than the languages of eastern Asia. I have been learning Korean, and it is a lot more challenging. Despite its relatively easy-to-learn writing system, its syntax and lexicon is much more difficult. It doesn't have the many Latin roots as found in the Romance languages; instead, it has besides its native vocabulary, a large number of words from Classical Chinese (and I don't mean Mandarin).

Esperanto does have an accusative case ending with -n; something which i personally wish it doesn't have, to further simplify its grammar.

Interesting! I did not know that it has an accusative case ending. Thanks for sharing!
@ronaldonmg
@ronaldonmg 2 жыл бұрын
How would that simplify anything? Without the accusative ending, you would need a fixed word-order to tell who does what to whom. The N-ending is quite similar to M in English who/whom, they/them, he/him.. Esperanto merely tacks the same ending on all nouns, adjectives and pronouns

As an elderly gentleman, I know about the problems with: der, die, das, den, dem usw. Und... Durch, für, gegen, über, wieder, um: Nimmst du nicht Akkusativ, dann bist du wirklich dumm. Aus, bei, bei, nach, ist Dativ. Grammar, never learns you to speak an other languase. But it can learn you to spelll in your own.

In dutch "grammar-school" (VWO) I was taught English, French, German and Latin. Compared to those, Esperanto is incredibly easy. What languages are easy *for you* partly depends on how *your* brain is wired though. I have met dutch who cannot handle English, but have no problem with French, or vice versa. I have not yet met anybody claiming that Esperanto is harder than any european national language

''Dutch a child of English and German''? Well English is a much newer language, indeed influenced by Frisian more then Dutch, but also the other Germanic languages and French.

Please show how English is influenced by Frisian. Some latest research (? ) have shown that Frisian came from England not vice versa ( like Breton). English 'newer' needs explaining as well .
