I think about the American language quite often when I am doing crosswords. (I do them in my car every Friday while I am waiting for our local food pantry to open.)

When I look at the clues, and guess at the words, I realize that almost every word we use has at least two or three different meanings, depending on context.

I don't think a non-American-English-speaking person could DO a crossword.

I assume EVERY language has the same twists and turns, but for Pete's sake, don't bother learning a difficult language unless you can use it in daily life. Immersion is the ONLY way to really learn languages like a native.

I've lived here my whole life and I'm still trying to learn how to speak American lol

I chose to learn to speak Cantonese to talk to my Mum in her first language and also to speak to family in Hong Kong 🙂🥢

Not sure about wanting to speak American. I'll just stick to English, thanks. (I'm learning Italian)

I have not heard that American English is easy to learn, but if one chooses to learn a language, I would assume they plan on visiting or moving to a place where it is spoken.

I speak Texan.

Knowing more than one language is useful. You can keep your conversations more private when you use a lesser-used language.

Why not? Lol

Because Its good to know more than one language.

Yo!Walking down the sidewalk and going up in the elevator.
We should teach American in British schools

I blame woke.

@nimbus 🤔i kno you are a manchester united fan nimby and maybe a little ignorant and ill informed but our cousins across the big pond speak the same language and tongue as us english lol 😆😆😆

I guess because American isn't a language

probably because they are born in Pakistan...

If you read read as red instead of reed then you read read wrong but if you read the third read as reed instead of red then you read that read wrong as well.

Why is American easy to understand? Do you think English is easy to understand?

The Yankees destroyed the English language
