Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? Sometimes. It depends upon the region of scotland and how thick the persons accent is, in people like Silvesta mccoy as I said the rolled r is very pronounced, but at other times you dont hear much of it.

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? Hello,As far as I know, Spanish and French are easy to learn, and this is certainly the same thing with the English language, Arabic is one of the difficult language as I know, but its my native language, so I personally fluent in it and English, and these are the only languages I know, in addition to some words and sentences and conversation methods in some different languages.

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? This post might be a bit off topic, but as we are already discussing different English accents, here it goes.First of all I really do like Brian Johnsons accent. Hes the man who sings in AC/DC. When I googled his accent, I read from a forum that hes got the Jordy accent, but hopefully Dark can confirm or falsify it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZl9CHPuzXkThen theres the rolling r thing. One of my favourit examples is Ramachandran. I guess one of the reasons is that this kind of r suits very well with this kind of huge voice:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl2LwnaUA-kRegards URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=214983#p214983 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? @Rdf, I dont think Id heard Brian Johnson speak before, though that is certainly a Jordy accent albeit a rather mild one, quite often people from other parts of the country end up getting completely lost, and really if you went to the center of Newcastle there are times youd think people werent speaking English, at least until your used to it. Interestingly enough though, its not an accent that transfers at all. Despite living up hear in Durham and hearing that accent every day, Ive never picked it up even in the slightest, indeed a friend of mine whos wife is Jordy is the same. Similarly, as you heard with brian Johnson, its a very stubborn accent, sinse though it gets less, it never goes completely. Sometimes my mum will run into someone somewhere else and say oh your from Newcastle or Durham arent you! . Its not an accent you heard As to the rolling rs, I would guess Ramachandran is Indian? Its quite common when indians speak English Ive noticed. I dont know if its because we associate it often with large stage acting like shakespear, but I will agree on drama in the rolled rs, although I do tend to find if the voice is too forward as is the case with a lot of upper class (or trying to be upper class), english accents it can sound more pretencious than dramatic, though that might well just be personal opinion and I freely admit having had a very irritating teacher at special school whos favourite phrase was it is the rarrarrarrarrules probably didnt give me the best impression of the practice .

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? Well, I think in some cases, the Dutch pronounciation is kind of close to the English one, because the Dutch language also has the rolled r you would use in English. But as far as I found out, Dutch people only roll the r if it is located at the end of a word, elkaar, for instance. But there are some words, like hartelijk, where the r is been rolled as well.But I cant really tell when you have to roll the r and when you dont.I find Dutch pretty easy to learn, although I am learning on an English-based platform, because if you put German and English together, there are a lot of simmilarities, especially in German.Lets take the word for to drink: In German you say trinken, in Dutch you say drinken.An English example would be self (zelf in Dutch).I personally like Dutch and I learn it because for me, the language sounds echt moei, vriendelijk en gezellig, really nice, friendly and gregarious or to again show the simmilarity to German, echt schön, freundlich und gesellig. I also have some Dutch speaking friends, which has a kind of interesting influence on me, because by listening to their Dutch conversations, especially if they speak slow and clear, I learned how to express myself and a bit how the grammar works. So, thanks for that actually! For now, learning Dutch currently is a free-time-project, but I might try to attend a course or something in the future, shouldnt I already learned a lot of things on Taalthuis.

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? @Paddy, unfortunately Ive not heard much spoken Dutch, which is somewhat ironic given that Ive technically been working voluntarily for a Dutch organization for the last eight years, sinse Sander and Richard are Dutch and the game accessibility Special interest group is based in Holland. With German I found the basic conversational bits not too hard to understand, though as I said I mostly just picked it up as I went along, but trying to sing in German I find difficult sinse poetry obviously is a very different beast, plus when singing your pronunciation needs to be extremely clear, and some of the German gutterals and vowel sounds I found very hard to get my tongue around. With the rolled r, it is not the norm in English at all the way it would be in Spanish or Italian, and indeed it always gets up my nose when you hear singers singing English songs with a rolled r and over emphasized, artificial diction. A miner rolled r (though far less than in s omething like Spanish), is occasionally used by people who consider themselves upper class or at least are attempting to sound that way, but mostly youd be thought pretty pretentious for trying it and its largely fallen out of fashion, even for people who do speak good English. There are of course some Scotish accents where a rolled r, even an extreme rolled r is fairly natural, Silvester Mccoy has made it something of his trade mark, or I should say his trarararararade mark .(btw, hope that came out in whatever screen reader your using. Though as I said for British English unless you were specifically trying to speak like the queen its not generally used anymore.

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? Yes, I agree.But, I know, what languages are very easy to learn.When You wrote about British English, I remembered to, for example Patwa in Jamaica, which is creole of Jamaica and this caribbean English have some features of British languages too.So, I must say, that creoles, or pidgins are very easy to learn.And if some people know about It, those languages were created from another languages. This is a great examples, how a new languages are created.Also, do You heard about Esperanto? This is a great example, because there are many words from Romance languages and romance languages were created from Latin. There are many constructed languages to communicate with anothers, for example Neoslavic.I wrote about It, because I am from Slovakia and every people from Slavic nations, such as Croatians and Russians can understand of this language, because there are many words from Polish, Czech, Russian, Croatian, Bulgarian and many languages.

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? @geovani, I had not heard of neo slavic before, but as I said I dont really see much point in Esperanto, sinse though your correct it contains many words that speakers of English, french, Italian and spanish will understand, a native speaker of any of those languages will still have to learn esperanto to communicate in it. the theoretical advantage was supposed to be that Esperanto was an easier language to learn, however the problem is that nobody actually speaks it, you cant go to Esperantoland and make yourself understood . Indeed, esperanto is somewhat different from fictional languages like Elvish and Klingon, sinse there are fictional historical materials and myths in those languages to study, but the main practical advantage to learning esperanto is pretty much just that you know esperanto, which is why as I said it became something of a status symbol and a joke in the Uk. Im not sure what you mean about pidgin languages generally speaking the term Pidgin English is a rather old fashioned term for those who spoke a very limited, often broken form of English, usually as a secondary language, indeed its a quite derogatory term as far as Ive heard it used, and so it wouldnt say be used to describe legitimate dialects or hybrid languages like Criole. @Afrim, I agree on french being difficult and also that you must have a reason to learn a language, I dont think id want to learn one out of the blue, as I said Italian I am learning just for singing purposes. The O sound in british as opposed to american english is pronounced entirely differently, with the lips coming forward rather than staying back as occurs in American English, indeed I will confess there is someone on the audeasy list who keeps getting on my nurves complaining that he cant tell the difference between an o and a lengthened a when spoken unless the a has a pronounced r. Of course there are several very distinct regional accents in Britain, but the distinct backwards o is fairly universal, although in some regions other vowel sounds can get confused, Jordies up here in the northeast for example have a habbit of pronouncing I sounds as ay sounds, so time sounds like tame. of course this is the point of the clarity of what is somettimes called oxford english or recieved pronunciation. With music however, it depends heavily on style. most pop music does indeed for some reason always employ an american accent (though there is some that doesnt), but a lot of musical theatre or light opera or even commic songs dont.It does rather annoy me if someone attempts to sing a song in the wrong accent or style, and indeed Id find it equally irritating if a singer attempted an american song with a british accent (still worse, a rather artificial singers accent), as I would if an American singer started singing an english song in their native accent. this is why if I were singing something like why god why from miss saigon Id always employ an american accent, but if Im doing something like Gilbert and sullivan Id always use my natural English. Then of course, there are songs which are fairly interchangeable too, such as a lot of Les Miserables (given that the characters are french but the songs are in English).All that being said, one thing I will say is that clear singing diction has nothing to do with accent so much as it is to do with breath control, using your lips and tongue and nasal resonance properproperly, and of course being %100 clear on what your doing. sadly, this is where a lot of pop singers fall short, not their accents, but their technique.

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? Hello there,I stumbled upon this thread earlier, but didnt have the time to answer. So Im bringing this up again out of the depth.I have to agree that German is a kind of more difficult language. But currently I am in a Latin course for a couple of years now, and I must say that its more difficult, especially because of the ending-letters of a word. Because the ending of the word declares the tence, singular/plural, the person, etc.In my opinion, Nederlands is echt makkelijk to leeren voor mij (Dutch is really easy to learn for me).If you want to see what learning Dutch is like, you might check out http://www.taalthuis.com and find out yourself how difficult or easy it is for you.Many Dutch people also speak English and German pretty good, which is quite impressive! And many eastern-Europeans I met could express themselves in German pretty good, especially those from Czeck Republic, Slovakia an d Poland.

Indeed it is quite odd, I came back from a week in Austria speaking actually quite a bit of German, just from learning how to order food in restaurants, buy things in shops and say I was from England, (the majority of the Austrians where I was spoke extremely good English but I did appreciate learning the language).I also c ame back from Griece when I was a teenager knowing a few words of modern Griek, particularly because the Grieks seemed to appreciate the fact that Id made an effort, but Ive not once learnt any French despite going to France several times and despite whilst in France people often seem to understand English but do not actually speak it, not sure why this is, or even if it is all of France or just the bits I saw, though its a fairly common experience that people I know who have been to France have had. One French chap I met who I discussed this with, (he was a Doctor of Archaeology), actually said the French education system was so theoretical, that people in France who learnt English actually never got any chance to practice it at school, they were just first presented with the grammer and word list. I dont know if this is true, or if any of our French members could confirm it but it was an interesting thought. Apart from French though, I did spani sh at school which I found not too hard, the concepts with the different tenses were not difficult for me to understand albeit that I was learning in secondary school so the pace was slower, and have been learning conversational Italian which again I find relatively easy, basically so that i am a more effective singer in the language, although its structure is far less rigid than spanish and remembering all those irregular verds is a pest (in Spanish it always seemed far easier to just learn the rules annd apply them), particularly sinse I dont unfortunately italian on a frequent bases.I could probably make myself understood, and cope if I had to order in a restaurant, go shopping, do the touristy things, and according to people Ive sung or spoken to mmy pronunciation is fairly convincinn, but I dont find myself completely natural in the languaage or able to converse without extensive pauses and rememberings by me of what word or tense applies, though according to my teacher Ive not done too badly. What I particularly like is that given that my teacher is from genoa, I learn a lot of the culture and about life as well as language, plus she gives me the most amazing Italian imported coffee! . What I did find interesting is that when my parents, and to an extent I first met my teacher we believed her to be a slightly abrupt rather commanding lady because of the way she spoke. she would say things like You come on wednesday, or Go and sit down and I will make the coffee These sound almost rude in English, given that in English wed usually phraise such things as requests, or add the word please to be polite, eg, come back on wednesday please or If you sit down I will bring you some coffee and originally we assumed my teac her was a rather foreceful lady. Funnily enough though, it turned out as I got to know her that is not the case at all, and when I learnt the Italian it turns out Italians have a very different method of Politeness, dont use please casually, and indeed to actually give! orders would need a totally different imperative

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? Hello,I’m a student at the school of foreign languages which attends lessons in my city. There are four languages available, certainly combined, like English+Italian, English+German, and English+French. So In the second grade also the third language is added, and I study English+Italian+German. To be honest, as it’s stated above, it depends on the person and the country as well. For example, I’m an Albanian. Here in the past, during the years 1925 to 1939, we were influenced by Italian culture. This situation went on for years and during the communist regime many people used to illegally listen to Italian radios and many seniors may speak Italian a little nowadays. After the communist regime many people migrated to Italy, and the influence became more distinguish. There was a period during 1999 to 2003 or 2005 when people used to listen so much to Italian music and watch Italian films. Also our language contains many Italian words, and it appears easy to many people to learn Italian here. But I myself find difficult learning French and German because they didn’t have any impact here and the grammar is a bit different. Honestly, when I first started to learn French, I got headache and I left the course.Then there’s English. English in my opinion is good for those people who are able to memorize so much, and for those who love it. I’m one of them and I have to say that the grammar is easy, there aren’t so much tenses like in Italian. But there is an endless number of Idioms and phrasal verbs and it is supposed that a large number of words to have two or more synonyms. So here’s where the difficulty begins. I think English is great for first levels, but when you study upper ones, the work doubles.

Re: What language is easy and what is difficult?
Re: What language is easy and what is difficult? Thats a very difficult question because the answer depends so much on the person. For example, I find Japanese and Korean morphology, phonology and grammar to be pretty straightforward or simple, and much of it makes sense in my head. Many, many people say that they feel like Japanese and Korean are two very difficult languages to learn... I think its very dependent on your background and what you are used to. If you speak English as a native language, all the rlmance languages EG: French, Spanish, Portuguese, etc... will be easier to learn, because of a great deal of resemblance in grammar as well as vocabulary cognates that sound similar or in some cases almost exactly the same. I would find it interesting to try and learn slovakian, but I dont even know the general grammar structure of slovak languages and what theyre like, so I might find it a little difficult to get into at first. German also was difficult for me when I tried for a few months, but Japa nese and Korean, while starting as a little difficult, became very easy and are now I would say two easier languages to learn. But its all personal, of course. And I think this particular subject is very much that, subjective and everyone will have different answers. Fascinating discussion, though.
