We’re often asked “Is English hard to learn<\/a>?” If your only purpose for learning English is to settle for the conversational basics or asking for directions and nothing further than that, then you may think that learning English is not that hard.
\nMost language learners, however, have higher goals for their language usage. Having such higher goals often means that the English learner is bound to find things within the language itself that aren\u2019t so easy to learn. <\/span>
\nHere are a few examples of just how hard learning the English language can get.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tricky Grammar<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Is
\nLet\u2019s consider the following example: <\/span>
\n\u201cThe dog I had had had had quite a few health difficulties before I took it to the vet.\u201d<\/span>
\nIt may seem as though someone accidentally copy-pasted the word \u201chad\u201d too many times, but this sentence is actually 100% grammatically correct\u2013it makes total sense.<\/span>
\nThis is due to the wide variety of tenses in the English language. In fact, if we counted all of the English conditionals (regular and mixed) as well as the subjunctive along with all other \u201cregular\u201d tenses, the total number of tenses in English would be around 20. Yes, 20\u2026 I know, right?!<\/span>
\nFurthermore, if we add the passive voice into the mix, the road to mastering English grammar<\/a> definitely becomes an extremely long one.<\/span>
\nThis is not to say that learning about all of these tenses is hard. This is to say that it\u2019s not that easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Game of Words<\/b><\/h2>\n

The feature of English that most learners probably find the easiest to grasp is its plural. All they need to do is add an \u201cs\u201d at the end of any word and they\u2019re good to go. <\/span>
\nThere are, however, some words in English that don\u2019t necessarily follow this same structure, e.g. the plural \u201cmen\u201d for \u201cman\u201d or \u201cwomen\u201d for \u201cwoman\u201d. Actually, \u201csome\u201d is not the word I\u2019d use here. It\u2019s way more than that\u2013hundreds of words, to be exact. Just take your time to read and understand the following poem about \u201cWhy English Is Hard to Learn\u201d and you\u2019ll see what I mean.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Is
Why English is Hard to Learn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s also the issue of British and American English. For various reasons, the two most globally predominant English dialects use different everyday vocabulary to indicate the same thing, e.g. \u201chood\u201d (American English) vs. \u201cbonnet\u201d (British English) \u201csidewalk\u201d vs. \u201cpavement\u201d, \u201cparking lot\u201d vs. \u201ccar park\u201d, and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Pronunciation Ambiguity<\/b><\/h2>\n

Speaking of the battle of British vs. American, there are also a handful of differences in pronunciation between the two, the most notable being accent and stress. <\/span>
\nI\u2019m sure that almost every English learner has had the opportunity to shake their head at just how different these two dialects sound, even though it\u2019s still the same exact language. However, this is a topic for another time. <\/span>
\nWhat I want to focus on is just how big of a difference small pronunciation variations in English, in general, can make. Consider the following examples: \u201cpan\u201d vs. \u201cpen\u201d, \u201csand\u201d vs \u201csend\u201d, \u201csheet\u201d vs. oops! That\u2019s exactly what I mean! The differences between \u201ca\u201d, \u201ce\u201d, and their inbetweener vowel sound <\/span>\u201c<\/span>\u00e6\u201d<\/span><\/a> or a long and short vowel can be devastating for the average English learner in so many real-world scenarios. It\u2019s something that requires a fair amount of practice and the utmost attention to detail.<\/span>
\nThis just goes to show that there are so many ways for you to sound wrong in English, and there\u2019s nothing easy about that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rules of Writing<\/b><\/h2>\n

Last but not least, there are some common English mistakes<\/a> even native speakers\u00a0make, particularly the rules of punctuation<\/a>. Oh my, oh my\u2026 People may learn how to speak, read, listen, and even write, but it is this stylistic part of writing that causes the most headaches. Whether it\u2019s the everlasting Oxford Comma or the use of hyphens in compound nouns. I\u2019d say that it is this area of English that requires the most learning effort out of all four language skills. <\/span>
\nThere\u2019s also the curious case of the English pronoun \u201cI\u201d. If we compare it to all the other English pronouns, regardless of their type, we can notice that \u201cI\u201d is the only one that\u2019s written in uppercase. I mean, why?! If all other pronouns start with a lowercase letter, why make it harder if it\u2019s just one word? <\/span>
\nI guess there are some things in life that you just get used to with time.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, Is English Hard To Learn?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Is
\nWith the increase of online and mobile resources in today\u2019s day and age, learning English has become easier<\/a> and more affordable than ever.\u00a0<\/span>
\nNonetheless, there\u2019s definitely a huge difference between learning some, more or all of it. As language learners, it\u2019s up to each and every one of us individually to determine our language goals, whether that\u2019s merely understanding the basics or using the English language professionally, just a step behind (or ahead) of its native speakers. You are in charge of the outcome.<\/span>
\nThe higher your language learning goals are, the harder learning English is going to be. It\u2019s that simple.<\/span><\/p>\n
