For me it wasn't that hard learning German since it's somewhats similar to Norwegian in a vague way. Even if someone doesn't speak a word of German he might be able to guess the meaning of a sentence since several of the words have the same roots.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

A in French and German after one year learning them, D in English after 12 years learning it. English is hard, says the English guy with Irish-Canadian roots.
This is why every once in a while someone at the EU proposes we all start speaking Finnish: linguists all agree it's the simplest language (and not in a bad way like japanese).
For the record, they also agree the hardest one in europe is polish.

Polish is slavik and all slavik languages are hard. Had 6 years of Russian in school but I mostly forgot it all.
Just booked a holiday close to Pra-Loup! It'll be great returning there after watching the images from a falling hero Merckx. Been there once before when I was little, remember it to be an exceptionally beautiful region to ride and climb mountains, hope it doesn't disappoint me years later!

Yeah, slavic languages are hard as hell for the rest of the world, czech is also being said asto be one of the hardest languages to learn of all. Polish is easy for me, as i t is very similar to czech/slovak.
Not even 10 minutes after I watched a YT video of an interview with a girl taking off her dental implant of the upper left front tooth, a bit of my exact same tooth splinters off.
You call it fate, I call the doctor. Well, tomorrow morning.
