But rogusx, this is what (at least part of what) I`m trying to get across.
First, I don`t expect ANY non-native speaker to perfectly nail any aspect of the English language. I suppose I buy into the idea that you`ll find some foreign languages "easier" to learn than others, based on your own native tongue. But it recently occured to me that it`s possible the English language simply does not have a a good "match-up" with any other language. I`m not a linguistic expert, so can`t say if this is true or not.
I just find it hard to believe that English is THAT difficult for non-native speakers to pronounce & speak. But hey, it must be.
@tdol-My apologies to anyone I may have offended. My post was taken way out of context.
