@xmanmonk Chinese grammar is super simple! You simply join words together to form a sentence (there are exceptions of course). It's their writing system and the 5 tones (Mandarin... Cantonese has more) that are usually difficult for a learner

@xmanmonk Canada at one point had a rule where if an immigrant did not know either English or French, the immigrant gets placed in a French-speaking part of the country... I am not sure if this rule is still in place now. This makes me think French is easier to learn than English 🤷♂️ English has way too much irregular forms compared to other language, say French for example

English Is Not Normal

No, English isn’t uniquely vibrant or mighty or adaptable. But it really is weirder than pretty much every other language. | Aeon
