You're not wrong, it seems like half of English is just french loanwords.

"What the fuck is this "th" sound ? Are they autistic ?"

>>71621952
The truth is that English has no spelling rules.

>>71627310
The other half is """Germanic""" which is really just island Dutch, which you don't even notice because of all the French and Latin loanwords.
>>
It reminded me of Dutch, which I previously taught myself, not only in regards to the pronunciation aspect, but conjointly as to the grammatic aspect, since both languages derives from Proto-Germanic. Nowadays, when we get more exposed to English before, I'd say it's a bit of a tounge twister, since there's no 'th' sound in the Swedish language, which makes it harder for many Swedes to pronounce things that contains 'th' words, e.g. 'thin', whereas many people pronounce it as 'finn'.

Not really, English has 12 tenses, that's more than most languages and twice as much as his native German.

Never started learning it as a choice, my older brothers listened to american/english music all the time and I saw many hollywood films growing up, had a pretty good grasp by the time I was 6. Then I transitioned from playing SNES games to computer games which pretty much perfected my english (vocabulary) and 2 years after that I started reading books in English

I also remember we had the word 'shoe' on the list of words to learn for one week. I had played Diablo 2 and knew you could also say 'boot' and smugly told the teacher.

Many chemistry/medicine books have the IPA spelling for new words like photosynthesis /ˌfoʊtoʊˈsJnθəsJs/

I always thought that children books have something similar.
