Koni, the English language is ridiculous! For every rule...there's an exception!



Thank you. I try. :)

It's not awfully tough. Obviously I will have more problems learning Chinese (they have like 9 dialects that are official though and about 5 or 4 words to say 'many' depending on the things that you are talking about, in our language it's just one) or Arabic or Japanese.

However just as Betty said there are either no rules in English or for every rule there are like 20-30 exceptions and in the end I forget the rule in order to memorize the exceptions.

Now I'm math person and languages are not my strength, so I learn through logic and the things have to make sense and well either my English teacher wasn't that good or there are too many exceptions in English so I had to find my own logic behind those exceptions which takes time.

Of course one of the reasons for that difficulty might be the fact that English is the second foreign language I've tried to learn, so yeah I didn't have experience. However I have to say I studied French in elementary school for only three years and I might not remember the words that much, but the rules I still remember 10 years later. And the other two languages that I studied - Spanish and German have rules that are simpler to follow.

Shelby in all fairness I think that the Americans had tried to simplify a bit the language. I've heard that in the beginning it was even more complex.

I have coworker at work that have problems with the fact that some words in English have more than one meaning and they have nothing in common. Like fair - It might be just because someone is fair or not, or it I might just want to invite someone to go the fair.

And something for the comedy relief:

Yep you gotta know at least that much English to get the joke :D.

Betty, Koni, those are a riot! :lol:

I love these so much.. it's never good to be too serious all the time so this thread is just perfect to remedy that. :lol:

Koni, I would have a difficult time with English if it wasn't my primary language I think because the way my mind processes things is with laws, rules, systematic order without gray area. I think I would fail miserably at English so thank God I'm American. :lol:

Koni,
I am really embarrassed....but I don't get this joke. :confused:

secretk 12-13-2012 04:58 AM

The idea is that since Germany lost World War II and Wednesday is really after Tuesday, so whenever someone says this - they will have proof that he traveled back in time ;).

Not to say that it should be funny for anyone ;) - it's just for me, because it reminds me of those pranks how to tell someone that you traveled back in time by asking them which year is ;).
