Answer 1

After the cavemen and cavewomen of the La Brea tar pits area of what is now southern California had developed English, they realized that this new language was so difficult that they decided to create a new language. This new language was to be more difficult than English so that the tax-paying cave dwellers would then become satisfied with their own language and thus not start a cave-mounted revolution.

The new language was called Spanish, but the experiment failed, as it was still easier to learn by grunting cave folks than English.

The revolution thus was born and the result was a criminal system known as "capitalism" being conducted throughout the world in a myriad of different languages - all less difficult than the original cave language known as English.

We're happy to welcome you to the forum Alicia. Learning anything new can seem difficult. Try not to focus on how much you have to learn. Take baby steps and set small goals. By working on these daily, you will be able to accomplish amazing things in time.

I have found that participating in this forum makes learning more fun. Take a look at this thread. The "Island of Encouragement" thread is a place where anyone can express their struggles and frustrations, along with any accomplishments. Several people today have discussed the achievements and milestones they have reached this year. I found it encouraging. I hope it does the same for you.

It's not difficult. It's just big. It will take time. How long did it take you to learn your first language? It was easy, right? And it didn't happen in one week.

It's difficult to learn Spanish in one week, which is why you think it's difficult.

It is true that we often forget how long it took to begin communicating in our native tongues. It then took several years of school and maturing in order to be fluent. - Nicole-B, Dec 2, 2011

As adults, I think we beat ourselves up sometimes and forget that even for children, it takes quite a bit of time. :) - Nicole-B, Dec 2, 2011

Answer 5

It may seem like that at first, but it's really not that bad. Like learning any language, it just takes a lot of time to learn. If you expect to learn Spanish (or any other language) in a month or two, then you will begin to think it's really hard. Just take your time, it'll come to you.
