Let's talk about English
Hi guys! I am taking an interest in English. It is the interesting and difficult language. There are a lot of rules and exceptions in it. Grammar of English is crazy. There are a lot of tenses. In Russian there are only three tenses. Also there are the articles in English, but in Russian there are not it. And pronunciation in English makes me unhappy. In English anything is written in specific rules but it will be read and pronounced in another rules. Why is it? Let's talk about it. I would know something interesting from English speaking guys.

Never saw the point in learnign any other language when most the population of the earth speak english anyway lol -

Pshhh, English is much harder. You can't say English is easier when you can't even type English properly.
English is way easier than any latin language ( spanish, french, portuguese ). Except pronunciation of course.

if english has a lot of tenses for you, then dont try spanish =/ -

The English language rules are hard. Only reason someone learning Portugese as a second language would say it's hard, is because of the different sentance structure. Learning English words might be easier, but to put them into a sentence is harder. -
I don't understand a thing. Please, explain it for me. In English sentence must be only one negation. But I found it: "We don't need no water let the mother****er burn...". Is there the mistake? Is it right - "We don't need any water..." or "We need no water"?

i love you random person ;o
OT:
english & finnish are hard
england has a ridiculous amount of slang
some words which your tutor will teach you will be wrong to someone raised in england
IE
Bare:
not covered up
naked
not alot of
showing teeth
etc
but then its also a slang term to mean the opposite xD which is what the tutor wont teach you
then you have words which are pronounced the same but have a different meaning
IE
bear
an animal big and groar and cuddly :P -

Is there someone knows the answer? How did they have to write it? -
At least English has only one word for "The" and no masculine or feminine articles.
I've been trying to learn German properly for years.With Der,Die,Das,Den,Dem or Des all meaning "The" depending on whether its masculine,feminine,neutral,plural or the tense nominative,genitive,accusative or dative etc. A really headache to learn

What about my question? -
What about my question?
I've worked abroad in many countries and English seems to be a language that many people like yourself can speak at a reasonable level. But i guess its like what they say "it's an easy language to learn but a difficult language to master".
I've found that people coming from the scandinavian countries or from the netherlands speak the best English mainly due to the fact that they don't dub the foreign tv programmes like german,france,italy etc. But instead they just use subtitles so that people can learn fluent english by simply watching TV.
In germany on TV you can't watch a single film in its original version. So they never know what the great actors/actresses voices even sound like.Also because of that they can only learn English by studying it.
As for the answer to your question this text you have quoted from the bloodhound gang is not written in correct english its just american slang.You can say that and people will understand but its not what they would teach in any school.
It should be "we don't need any water"
Also the famous line from The wall by pink floyd "we dont need no education" should be "we don't need an education" -

You don't understand what I want. I want to know some information about negations in English sentences. I asked about it several posts above. -

This can't be explained in a few sentences on a forum post. Just visit a bookshop or library and find a book about English grammar.Or you have the internet at you disposal.Just google it and you will find out all the information you need to know.
Good Luck. -

Google sucks. No one will has taught about some English exceptions is better than English speaking man. -
Faça você sabe que entendo o que você disse. Você pode escrevê-lo em inglês?
Ignore this FenixX22 he has spammed the same comment on multiple threads. When a MOD comes online and sees this he will be banned from forums for sure. I think maybe he believes the military ribbon still exists. But regardless for all this spamming he will lose his honourable ribbon(if he even still has it) and maybe be banned from the game. -
Double negations are wrong when you use them in English. But they are often used colloquial language.I don't understand a thing. Please, explain it for me. In English sentence must be only one negation. But I found it: "We don't need no water let the mother****er burn...". Is there the mistake? Is it right - "We don't need any water..." or "We need no water"?
A single negation is the correct form. -

Thank you.
There are many different people in the forum. Some men are crazy and stupid. But other part is normal and with them may speak about everything. -

I didn't direct attention to such things before I began to learn English seriously. But nowdays I see some mistakes somewhere. -
English is pretty easy tbh
Depends on the quality of the education system I guess. They tend to make things unnecessarily complicated.english is the 2nd hardest language in the world to learn other than mandarian chinese.
I speak both... so HA
Herro, yesh i would rike some fry rice preash.
actually, english is only easy for you since you were born in america and have learned it your whole life. Europeon countries are just now starting to learn it.
