Having learned English as my third language (after French and Farsi) I found it more streamlined, full of shortcuts and easier to pick up than any other language. Not sure if that counts as weird.
- keerthiko 11y agoI think that's more a function of easy exposure and constant bombardment by English medium content that makes it less strenuous on your brain's language center to make the necessary connections to retain it effectively. I felt the same way about Japanese because I consumed a lot of anime and other Japanese media as hobbies I enjoyed. However, it is objectively a harder-to-learn language than Korean, which I had markedly less success with. And I don't think I have some kind of untraditional language processing algorithm in my brain.
- wodenokoto 11y agoObjectively harder than korean? I've always been told Korean is more difficult than Japanese in terms of grammar. Obviously it has a simpler writing system, but I'm not sure that counts as the language, fundamentally. More as a gateway to the language.
