I'm really starting to think that French is gonna be harder to learn than Japanese tbh
Japanese is consistent as heck
@spiderrobotpig has any area of the world spent as much time conquering and reconquering itself as western/central europe? Even those of our languages that try to be "pure" are such infinite mismatches of influences
@optimajohnny Yeah, I feel like there are definitely pros and cons there, but it's a lot
@spiderrobotpig English is my favorite language just because its rules are so bendable and breakable in expressive ways, and that's a direct consequence of everyone and their niece's cat invading the British isles and adding their rules to the stew
@optimajohnny Yeah, I definitely like the flexibility of English. I do feel like it's partly a barrier to entry tho tbh
