The bandage was wound and wound.

That's what I read at first.

"4) We must polish the Polish furniture."
That's more of a Polish problem than an English one. :-D

 

[Azareal]

See, it's simple.

On a more serious note, I find other languages fairly difficult to learn.
I think every language has parts which are intended just to screw with your head 😛 lol

 

[Eussbig]

Lack of consistency with words.

 

[Bryn]

"She sells sea shells by the sea shore" could've been up there 😛

 

[Jason76]

Too many words meaning the same thing like:

• "I want a Wii for Christmas", "We are going out."
• 
  
• "The sun is rising.", "That is his son."

Most English people that are born in the English world can not speak/spell English right..

Our own language and most still don't understand! 😵

It was very easy for me to learn it. Currently I'm learning Russian. I think it's harder than English.

 

[Jason76]

Foreign languages aren't my thing - but I haven't tried hard enough maybe. Most of my time has been spent on math and music.

Russian is definitely harder, especially learning to read and write it.

But isn't @Keranov's native language, Bulgarian, and Russian in the same language family?

 

[Yarik]

Yes.But Russian is very more complicated and different than Bulgarian.

I guess it's like English and German.
