Modern Teenager. It is difficult and confusing to the uninitiated

@FreeSpirit1 weird dialect indeed.

French, but I'm really not a polygot.

Binary’s pretty hard too. Here’s a joke in binary...

German. Really tricky compared to other European languages. Well I thought so anyway.

@EmmaJ I did pass but I'm not so sure about my family's honour though 😂

EmmaJ · 46-50, F

@HannibalAteMeOut LOL, are any of us sure about that part.

Irish. It has few links with Latin and Germanic tongues except words that were stolen from English, like "Telefon". Also within Ireland each province used to have each its own version, more distinct than a dialect. The present lingo that they like to call Irish is an artificial conglomeration of these.

SW English.

Miram · 31-35, F

Finnish is being tricky for me.

I don't think the language is difficult. I think I got too old.

HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F

@Miram finnish seems like a very independent language, as if it's on its own while danish, swedish and norwegian not so much. I don't speak any of these but it's just my impression. Are you thinking of moving to Finland?

Miram · 31-35, F

@HannibalAteMeOut

No, but my sibling will and we're very competitive. Maybe I'll get to visit her and go skiing in Levi. I am stuck at the basics though. Yes, it's different and much more synthetic 😩 It will take me ages.

HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F

@Miram Hahaha good luck then, I hope you win this race 😄

Malayalam. 20 years I have been speaking it, still I can't past the damn grammar and pronounciation.

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

Currently attempting Hindi......😱

bijouxbroussard · F

@Picklebobble2 Whoa ! 😃

Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M

@bijouxbroussard Yeah ! I like languages and seem to have an ear for them.
I learned French and German at school and as an adult have a good grasp of Italian and Spanish.
Latin is coming along and Hindi,verbally is ok but the written work......😱

@HannibalAteMeOut and I dont understand you lot from Greece! I had to learn 'proper' Greek, yet speak to yiayia in Cypriot. With our random jehs and zs

HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F

@SW-User someone speaking both cypriot greek and greek greek (😂) could easily identify as a bilingual. Also pontiac greeks and cretans speak in a weird way I cannot understand 😅

SW-User

@HannibalAteMeOut Pontiac Greek is so different. Cannot understand it at all. And their voices are deep

Miram · 31-35, F

@666Maggotz Get out of here 😜. I never met a stupid person who's bilingual.. One of my favorite writers ever is from your country. His grasp of English was fascinating.
