Canadian Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 The other day in school I was pondering to myself about the word [b][i]conscience[/i][/b]. It than occured to me that the word science can be found in con[b]science[/b] but is pronouced as [b]shince.[/b] Where is the logic behind this? Theres no rule for it either. I feel like english is just saying "get it or go to another country". What am I supposed to call my class now? "Alright guys, I gotta go, its time for [b]shince[/b] class." ...... or even "yeah, I study health [b]shince[/b] at university!" Does english bother you sometimes?

[/quote] Mandarin is the predominate Chinese dialect. English is harder to learn compared to someone who speaks french to learn spanish simply because such languages as Spanish, French, and Italian are romantic and are all based of latin almost soley however english is a combination of latin and anglo-saxon influences making it unique from other European languages.

Mehmani Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Mandarin was never that hard for me. Latin is easy, the Romance languages are all very easy, it's just Cyrillic or Balkans languages I find hard.

Cin Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yea Russian is supposed to be very hard to learn, feel sorry for the Brits who got into the top ballet school in Russia (one of the top in the world) and have to learn Russian just so they can understand their lessons. English can be difficult in terms of spelling, because of silent letters, such as the B in Subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
