    Can be even better

        I though that English were relatively an easy language to learn and speak. At list compared with most European languages

        I say, if I had paid more attention on my English lesson rather than just killing my time I would probably speak English even better than my native language

        Try some Greek instead
        Or more correctly New Hellenic

          My German teacher said (and from what I know, I agree with him) that English is easy to begin, and gets tougher the more you learn, and German is hard to begin and gets easier as you continue. I don't know how much this carries over to other European languages.

          Your last post conveys your meaning clearly, and that is relatively easy to learn to do, but to master all the absurd exceptions and niggling points of English is something very few people (even (or possibly especially) native speakers) manage. I can, for example, spot things in your first sentance which aren't grammatically correct. But it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to .

              Well, I can find errors in my first sentence too as well in your paragraph
              Well, I never claimed that I possess the secrets of the English language but I can claim that I become understandable to my audience

              If you are used to change the spelling for every single word or article each time you are refering to male or female or neutral gender, to single or plural, or to 5 different declensions (correct word?) with a load of exeptions and other gramatical stuff then Greek won't be that hard for your teeth.

              For one thing once you learn Greek, compounds are too easy to assemble as is the only language as long as I have heared to be completely semantic and not semiotic as English is.

                OK, it's a shame, but this is now completely unrelated... continue such debates in the Multiplayer Cafe, please.
