The leading language of international discourse, English, has been around since the early 5th Century. Due to various influences, the English language has evolved from its origins and assimilated many different languages into its own, making it difficult to master.

For example, the word “run” has over 645 distinct, different meanings.

FAQ

Is English hard to learn?

Yes, English is considered difficult to understand and challenging to master. Due to the assimilation of various influences and the inconsistency of spelling and grammar, it is challenging for native speakers and learners. With all the nuance, it’s a language best suited for learning from professional instructors rather than yourself.

What are some of the hardest things in English to learn?

English has a variety of unpredictable grammar rules, making it very challenging. For example, vowels are not straightforward. There are five main vowels: a, e, i, o, and u. Sometimes the letter “y” also acts as a vowel, but even the five main vowels may behave differently depending on the word. Sentence structure can be very illogical and challenging as well.
