lab276 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 When I did Spanish for A-Level what struck me most was how convoluted and unnecessarily complex the English language is.I love how convoluted and complex it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I love how convoluted and complex it is.People with English as a native language always think it's complicated, why is it complex to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lab276 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) People with English as a native language always think it's complicated, why is it complex to you?Offhand I couldn't tell you, but there's bits of other languages so there's a bunch of contradictory rules in there.

Hatebox Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 English is not complex at all. It just has too much words ...That's a good thing if you speak it, though. The more expressive a language is - and it can only be expressive if it has a large vocabulary - the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 English is not complex at all. It just has too much words ...1 million words in English...250,000 in French...Many English words to say the same thing.So as a Chinese you think it's an easy language? Japanese have problems about it, they say it's very hard.But you never learned Russian, because Russian is terribly hard, the declensions are horrible.

pinocchio Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 English is rather easy. I had both french and english at school but I would never dare to post at a french forum.If you think english is difficult, try german. It's grammar is much more complicated.

keysersoze123 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 So.. Back to TASM..Will it get to 450 mill without China?Close but no cigar. :POn a serious note does it matter. it will anyway open in china late next month. I think TDKR release date is more important that where it ends up without China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
