      I don’t think that English is that hard. It has very easy grammar, you don’t have to mess with genders and it has a straight forward sentence structure. Other languages like german, are much harder to learn.

        yeah, i’m from Ukraine, and at some point our study program has tried to fit in our poor heads some A1-A2 german, so I can relate. Needless to mention that i can’t say a word in german, all knowledge of it has been forgotten by me as some kind of lovecraftian unspeakable horror :D

          German is a hell to learn. The same word can have different articles depending on the kasus. As example: “Er geht in DIE Küche und kommt aus DER Küche heraus”. Its very hard to understand this as a non native speaker.

          I swear every single time someone mentions language or doesn’t explicitly say where they’re from someone will fight you saying that you only know one language and one culture and you can’t possibly know anything else lol

            well there are some stereotypes about americans, and there are also lots of people in the world that don’t know any languages other than their native ones, so I guess I can see where it’s coming from.

              I’m more referring to where you say you obviously know more than just English, and someone tries to fight you about it. That only comes from bad intentions.

                Whatever you call it, but to me it seems simply as a rather not so funny, but still a joke without any implied hostility. People are not as malicious as you think, untill it’s the matter of politics of course.
