Why I īm thankful (X) is my mother tongue... (cont. )
|
Yesterday I posted "Why I īm thankful (X) is my mother tongue..."
http://www.eslprintables.com/forum/topic.asp?id=17916&page=1
It īs been really interesting reading all your replies. Thanks for
sharing! Perhaps next time Ss complain that English is hard we can say
well you can thank your lucky stars it īs not Czech or Russian or Greek!
The imperative in English I mean how easy is that!! In Spanish the verb
changes depending on whether you īre talking to one person, to a group,
politely or impolitely and then when it īs negative you have to use the
subjunctive! Boy!
Have a great weekend everyone!

That īs a cool topic and I felt sorry I missed the discussion :)
Some of my colleagues already said about Russian and I do agree with them...I can īt imagine learning Russian from the very beginning...it īs so complicated...All the languages I am studying now...that īs Hebrew and Spanish...I am still a beginner but I am sticking to communicative approach and trying not to get too deep into Grammar for now but I am kinda scared to think that soon I will have to know all of the details...Challenging but that īs what I love about learning languages. WHen my students say... ohhhh English is sooo difficult, I ask them what mark they have in school for Russian and for English...most of them have better marks in English than in their native language...makes them think ;)
Thank you Colibrita for a great topic

I missed it too! I īm thankful English is my mother tongue because it has so few rules and more words than any other language! At least Spanish is logical!
