If you can understand the Scottish accent then I'm sure you will be able to learn any langauge you want with ease.

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
Icelandic language is the hardest, at least according to a BBC documentary where they had this crazy guy learn it in a few months.
But I agree, Scottish accent is barely English anymore.

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
there's quite a few accents accross the UK that are quite hard to understand when spoken fast, like Scottish, Scouse, Geordie. The Irish are a nightmare to understand when their accent is strong too. I sound like a farmer boy

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
Yeah I've noticed while studying Swedish that the grammar is quite similiar to English. That's probably why I find Swedish pretty easy to learn.Emil wrote:Lucky me i'm living in one of those countries that talk another germanic language which means i have relatively easy for english.
I don't see English as a difficult language. For me it just comes really naturally. German on the other hand is harder. I would love to be as good at it as I am at English but I'm not. Hopefully someday I will be.
I read my post again and realized I may have sounded more aggressive than I meant to. I just prefer to listen to people who are better at pronuncing English words than some people I know.

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
my english teacher is irish his accent is pretty neutral, tbh Uk accent sounds weird if you're not used , evry language has it's accents for example people from barcelona had lots of trouble with my catalan cos i'm from the south and we speak faster and pronounce words in a different wayCUNT wrote:there's quite a few accents accross the UK that are quite hard to understand when spoken fast, like Scottish, Scouse, Geordie.

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
I can't understand a damn thing in Spanish and Spanish is very close to Portuguese (my mother language). They're both pretty hard to learn, English is easiest for me.
My grades in school are from 0 to 100. I always get 100 in english and about 70 in spanish and portugese haha

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
I was even better in English than in German (my mother language) but that was probably due to my lack of interest for literature. I always liked English for it's sound and today it almost feels like my mother language, although I rarely actually speak English. I pretty much only write in English.geeinglat wrote:I can't understand a damn thing in Spanish and Spanish is very close to Portuguese (my mother language).

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
Yeah, me too. I speak english in my english classes, my teacher tell us to translate some huge texts but I never do it, so he talks to me in english instead hahaSimon wrote:I was even better in English than in German (my mother language) but that was probably due to my lack of interest for literature.

Re: Your Top 5 (or 10)
Swedes have this habit of making english sound like english mixed with swedish, it's called swenglish. It sounds something like this.
