    to be honest as a native english speaker, who went to a swiss german school in scotland, there is not much difference in terms of difficulty. WORD ORDER is one of the things which confuses people learning german after english. As you may know, in english there are no articles, which when it comes to learning almost any other language, it can be daunting. From my point of view, scottish people find it easier to learn german than say people from england or australia due to the similarities in pronnuciation. eg. the Scottish word for a lake is Loch, which if you can pronounce that then the german word Doch will be very easy. It may be worth having a look at the scottish language and how that works then going onto german. Scottish is closer to english than german is, so its almost like a half way point.

    English is the "Easiest and hardest" language in the world. Native speakers do not learn any rules for english, only every exception. Non natives learn the rules and try to learn the exceptions. Personally I would suggest to ignore the rules and just learn the exceptions. I am a native english speaker but it is not my first language.  The most challenging thing about english is the amount of words. In french for example there are around 380,000 words. In english there are over 1.4 million! hahaha that will keep you going for a long time! but english native speakers only use about 10-15,000 words in a lifetime! so there many words we will never use. English is one the few if not the only one, which can mixed into another language. for example French+English=Frenglish, German+English=Denglish. Just keep speaking and reading English and you will soon get there!

    the reference of The U.k is as follows. The U.K is the the united kingdom for short. If Spain was an abbreviation then a "the" would be required. Its The United Kingdom and Spain. Just like America. We use The USA or The united states of America. if a country's name only contains a few letters normally without vowels and is a Unite or republic etc, it will be an abbreviation and therefore require the use of a "the". the Republic of Ireland is known as the ROI. The UK=The United Kingdom The USA= The United States Of America The DRC=The Democratic Republic Of China The ROI=The Republic Of Ireland The UE= The United Emirates

    Are there any people out there who are native Scottish speakers? hi My name is Lewii and I am trying to get a horde of Scottish natives to help me convince many websites to make Scottish as an available language. I know that Wikipedia offers simple english and Scots but its not the same. If you are interested in joining me in this, please get in contact. thanks.

    Not to sound too crude but if you wish to answer peoples question in English then surely your English grammer needs to be better. To your comment, it should be written as " If you have a question then ask it, and I will try and answer it if i can" or "If you have a question then ask it and if I can I'll try and answer it". Surely it is best to be able to speak your own language fluently, if you plan to answer other peoples question with a correct answer?

    Try getting the Harry Potter Series in German. Any English books which have been translated generally are better for learning than native books. If you know the plot of the book in your native tongue then you will pick up the language better.
