I wonder if there is any difference between "1" and "2".
1. I find English difficult.
2. I'm finding English difficult.

2. I'm finding English difficult.

Sentence 2 is more animated.

Sentence 2 is more animated.

I don't know what that means, Afit.

Plase state that you are not a teacher, in accordance with the Notices above.

This native speaker finds no difference no difference between the OP's two sentences.

I don't know what that means, Afit.

The feelings of hardship come across more intensely with the progressive. This is what my grammar books taught me.

Please state that you are not a teacher, in accordance with the Notices above.

Sorry, I will not do that: I am a teacher.
Assumptions are the mother of all...

Plase state that you are not a teacher

Is it not supposed to be an insult on my competence and intellect? I seriously doubt anyone has ever given you licence to offend people publicly. Shame on you!

2. I'm finding English difficult.

They can be taken to have the same meaning, but #1 could be seen as a general statement and #2 as a statement about a present, temporary situation.

 

[Afit]

Rover, what should you or Bhai state?

 

[Rover_KE]

You have now confirmed that you are a teacher.

Right.

As a native speaker I don't understand your last question, but I haven't the time to care.

Bhai will speak for himself and as a moderator might close this thread before it gets acrimonious.

Yes, there is a difference in usage and, more subtly, meaning. It follows the usual pattern of the difference between a sentence in the simple present and one in the present continuous. You might like to review these tenses in your grammar books, then perhaps repost what you think the respective meanings and usages are.

When it comes to putting me down PUBLICLY, without fail you have. Your haughty, condescending, patronizing manner is quite something. Who are you?

Do you know the meaning?

I will not follow suit, trust me. :-|
Please ignore my posts in the future in exactly the same way as I will yours. Gracias.

Moderator's comment before closing the thread.

This section of the forums contains this statement: If you are not a teacher, you will need to state that clearly at the top of your post.

I don't know if your status said you were a teacher before this or not. I don't usually look. If it did clearly say you were a teacher, then I'm sorry this happened. If it didn't, then I'm glad your status now says this and it's clear to all.

Any member is acting within the guidelines of this forum by requesting others follow the guidance in the sentence above. It's not personal.

Closing the thread now.
