The hardest language in the world?

Exactly, thats why English is up there. It isnt a logical language. The grammar rules and the way certain words are spelled go against some of the rules its supposed to have. But their just exceptions, so many of them though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It is true, though, that English has one of the most large vocabulary out there. But I bet you that most of those words are not used or known by english speakers.

Spanish, on the other hand (which is my native language), seems very hard. With all the ortographic rules (which I don't even know perfectly) and the pronunciation I've heard from foreigners, it seems like a though one.

Also, japanese and chinese. Writing those must be quite an adventure.

Well then it seems it depends on the person. Because spanish was more of a breeze for me, and for most ppl who I know learned it didnt have too much trouble with it.

How ya doing, buddy?
