Forget reading and writing, Arabic grammer is extremely difficult. I still have problems with Arabic grammer, unlike English which is a pretty simple language.


Still Arabic is a great language :heart:

Actually, English isn't all that simple. We underestimate it cause we're done learning it, but for a lot of people it seems terribly complicated. There are lots of verb tenses in English, for instance, we say "I'm writing" where in other languages you're much more likely to say simply "I write".

Anything that's familiar seems easy, though.

No, I just got my eyes opened by meeting some people who didn't take English for granted. Had a friend in college who was from China and basically when he talked I understood what he was trying to say but few others did.

Believe me, English is not something you take for granted here. Most people in the university i went to, couldn't string two English sentences together if their life depended on it.
