Is Chinese(汉语) really that difficult?...What are you guys' opinions? Firstly, I am a Chinese so I have a perfect environment for me to use my mother tongue everyday Second...I wanna make this right, I don't really think there's a language called"Chinese"...why?...I think Chinese is more like Lingua latina...which also has evolved into many sub-languages---French, Spanish, Italian and so many other Romance languages... Chinese---Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu, Gan, Min, Hakka, Pinghua(平话)...etc. So many foreigners are learning the so called"Standard Chinese"---Putonghua... But I don't think Putonghua is that difficult, it has the similar sentence structure as English---subject+verb+object and I think the hard parts of her are the vocabulary and tones...you know, Chinese belongs to Sino-Tibetan language family, so we have many different vocabulary compared with languages in Europe and some other areas... So do you non-Chinese people think Putonghua is hard?...I ask so because many of my compatriots regard putonghua(I think many people think putonghua=Chinese)as the hardest language in the world...that's why many Chinese feel shocked when we see foreigners use Chinese fluently....

I have a question about Korean phonetics... 安寧하세요 (^o^)/~ There's one group of consonant makes me confused... that is.. ᄁ ᄄ ᄈ ᄊ ᄍ How to read them precisely?...are they relevant to voiced consonants in European languages(like french, russian and so on){g, d, b, dʒ}??

How to understand this sentence Har kuni men o'zbek tili o'qiyman... Today I learnt how to express different directions and the expression of how to say "A is east/west/north/south of something" Xitoy Osiyoning sharqiy tomonida joylashgan And when I searched the wikipedia...I found this sentence: Xitoy Gʻarbiy Osiyoda joylashgan boʻlib Doesn't g'arbiy mean western...g'arbiy osiyo=western asia? so this sentence can be rendered as"China is located in western asia?"... Is this sentence on wikpedia wrong ...or is my understanding of this sentence wrong??

I don't understand Americans...that's it I just had a little chat with a black American..and he was like,"China is damn boring"...then I asked"why don't ya get out of here since you dislike my country?"..Then he was like,"Don't act like an asshole"...whoa...why don't some American people(Only some people...I don't mean all of them) give a little respect to other people?...I don't understand why some of you are so arrogent and bitchy...like you're the boss??...He even criticised my name and said,"Look how terrible your English is, your name is such a screwup"...Is "asshole"a friendly way to address somebody in the USA??????...Is it funny to laugh at other people??
