      English is one of the prettiest and best languages ever made like Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic etc, and all should be learning English and the other prettiest languages ever 2gether as they are way too pretty not to know, plus they are the languages that should be the universal languages - this review is ns and it isn’t based on truth and facts, as are most other reviews, so learners should never choose based on reviews and recommendations, since most aren’t fair or factual!
      Besides, English is English, no such thing as American, and those are just accents, which are different, depending on the region, but the language itself is only one, and it is the Modern English language, which is the easiest and most practical language ever created in every way, and it is also one of the prettiest ever, so all should be learning English to a writer level or at least to a native speaker level!
      Lol, I cannot even believe that there are still ppl in the 21st century that aren’t fluent in English, but anyways, learners should also know that the TH in English is not an F sound, and that it is a type of T sound (approximant of T) in words like think / thing / thin etc and it is a type of D (approximant of D) in words like this / the / that (dis / duh / dat) and they are called the thorn sound aka þ / Þ and the eth sound aka ð / Ð and they are also used in Icelandic and Norse, and the eth sound is also used in Spanish in words like nada etc, so they are just less obvious T and D sounds that are kind of lispt!

      English is English, not American, and American English vs British English vs Australian English are just the different standard accents, not different languages, and also, there are over 3 billion speakers of English, if one includes the ones that speak it at a B1 or B2 level aka the intermediates, and, all ppl are the exact opposite of ‘royalty’ and are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as everyone else, and I am THE only Royalty aka the pure / superior being, and my pure protectors aka the alphas too, and I also am the only girl / feminine being, and réłationships are only meant for us pure beings (me & the pure protectors) and were never meant for ppl, and there must be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and one should never learn languages to ‘get x or y’ etc, it’s literally the most efd non-reason to learn anything, and the right reasons to learn languages are for their pretty and poetic words, so all should only learn the pretty languages for their pretty words and for their pretty sounds etc, which is the wise thing to do and the key to being a successful polyglot, as one naturally learns the prettier and more distinctive words faster, which makes pretty languages the easiest languages ever - grammatical genders are a very necessary and great and logical part of every pretty language that isn’t neutral with neutral word endings, so nouns that sound masculine or that reflect a masculine element or that have masculine word endings should be a masculine noun, and very few languages work without grammatical genders, including English which is a very neutral language that doesn’t have strong word endings, and, English pronunciation is one of the easiest pronunciation ever, including the TH sounds which are just T and D sounds that are made in a less obvious way, maybe the ones teaching English don’t know how to properly explain these sounds, or maybe the ones learning aren’t good at imitating the sounds and don’t know the words automatically yet, which is why they find it difficult!

    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 Před 3 měsíci +6

      Every language IS a conlang, duh, languages didn’t magically come out of thin air, each language was created by a dude by modifying a previous language or multiple previous languages and by creating lots of new words based on the new spelling rules that he’d set, except for the first language ever created Proto European that was made by a dude from scratch a long time ago and that came with the first writing system, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly!

    • @FrozenMermaid666

      English IS a Germanic language, not a Latin language, since it sounds and looks 100% Germanic, and English has the most logical spelling and pronunciation rules, which is why it sounds AND looks awesome and serious and professional, as the creator of English was a true linguist that knew that the pronunciation of each word must be decided based on what sounds best for each word, which is why rough is pronounced with an F sound, as it should!
      Technically, all the pretty languages that are well-constructed have words that are spellt the same and pronounced differently, and also, words that are spellt differently and pronounced the same, and, they even have words with multiple meanings etc, which is what makes the languages more fun and more diverse, and, learners are supposed to actively learn each word with its pronunciation and spelling, just as natives did passively, which is the right way to learn pretty languages!
      Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, and where most words directly or indirectly come from doesn’t make the language what it is, it’s the word endings and the letter combinations and the sound patterns and the combination of sounds and the pronunciation rules etc that make a language what it is, and any true linguist would know these facts, so a language could have only words from Latin, but if its letter combinations and its word endings for verbs and nouns and adjectives etc and its sound patterns etc are Germanic, it is a Germanic language one hundred percent, as the words are modified into Germanic words, which means that words that come from Latin are no longer Latin, once the new word endings and letter combinations or the new pronunciation rules etc are applied, which turn them into Germanic words!

    I went to a Starbucks once in America and asked for a cappuccino grande and I accidentally used my beta male Mexican accent in the word grande (which is 101 % similar to the American grande word used in Starbucks) it's literally the same word ... the girl who was taking my order had a hard time with my tacoland pronunciation ... it was very surprising to me and even if I was still a beta with a Mexican accent, I felt like a giga chad for being able to speak 2 languages, or at least 1.5. Then I remembered that there is nothing special about learning English and nobody gives a crap, so I proceeded to drink my awful ghwrande coffee with my tortilla chips and beans.

      That seems to be a common theme. Japanese seem to be very hesitant to speak English even though they get multiple years of it because the instruction is very basic route memorization, with no pronunciation practice. In my state, in the US, we're required to take 3 years of a foreign language, and most take Spanish as a sort of "default" option. I can assure you though, most people in my state would not call themselves Spanish speakers.

    If you want to maximize your default languages you need to spawn on the Dutch side near the Belgian language border from immigrant parents. That way you automatically unlock Dutch, French, English, whatever native language your parents speak and German if you just learn how to pronounce their letters, some basic words and phrases.

      And, English IS a Germanic language, not a Latin language, since it sounds and looks 100% Germanic, and English has the most logical spelling and pronunciation rules, which is why it sounds AND looks awesome and serious and professional, as the creator of English was a true linguist that knew that the pronunciation of each word must be decided based on what sounds best for each word, which is why rough is pronounced with an F sound, as it should, and, technically, all the pretty languages that are well-constructed have words that are spellt the same and pronounced differently, and also, words that are spellt differently and pronounced the same, and, they even have words with multiple meanings etc, which is what makes the languages more fun and more diverse, and, learners are supposed to actively learn each word with its pronunciation and spelling, just as natives did passively, which is the right way to learn pretty languages!
      Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, and where most words directly or indirectly come from doesn’t make the language what it is, it’s the word endings and the letter combinations and the sound patterns and the combination of sounds and the pronunciation rules etc that make a language what it is, and any true linguist would know these facts, so a language could have only words from Latin, but if its letter combinations and its word endings for verbs and nouns and adjectives etc and its sound patterns etc are Germanic, it is a Germanic language one hundred percent, as the words are modified into Germanic words, which means that words that come from Latin are no longer Latin, once the new word endings and letter combinations or the new pronunciation rules etc are applied, which turn them into Germanic words!
      Also, there are over 3 billion speakers of English, if one includes the ones that speak it at a B1 or B2 level aka the intermediates, and, all ppl are the exact opposite of ‘royalty’ and are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as everyone else, and I am THE only Royalty aka the pure / superior being, and my pure protectors aka the alphas too, and I also am the only girl / feminine being, and réłationships are only meant for us pure beings (me & the pure protectors) and were never meant for ppl, and there must be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and one should never learn languages to ‘get x or y’ etc, it’s literally the most efd non-reason to learn anything, and the right reasons to learn languages are for their pretty and poetic words, so all should only learn the pretty languages for their pretty words and for their pretty sounds etc, which is the wise thing to do and the key to being a successful polyglot, as one naturally learns the prettier and more distinctive words faster, which makes pretty languages the easiest languages ever!

    • @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038
      @thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 Před 3 měsíci

      There are only a few pretty languages, and they are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve - most of the pretty languages came in a more direct way from the first language ever created Proto European that a dude created from scratch a long time ago along with the first writing system ever, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly, and Proto European was a pretty well-constructed language with lots of pretty words, especially considering how ancient it is!
      So most European languages had a real strong base, whereas most other languages were just inspired by the idea of creating an actual language and by certain words and elements from it or from other languages that were made from it, but most of their words were constructed at random with random syllables and random combinations of vowels and consonants that don’t go well 2gether, so most languages are just random sounds and random letters słæpt 2gether, which is why most of their words are non-pretty and funny-sounding or embarrassingly funny with very non-pretty word endings and letter combinations that aren’t a good letter combination!
      And, very few are / were capable of creating perfect and gorgeous languages with great letter combinations and pretty word endings that are a real work of art, such as English and Norse and Icelandic and Norwegian and Gothic the other Norse languages and Dutch and the modern Celtic languages, which are absolute perfection in almost every way, as creating such pretty languages requires a lot of natural artistic talent and having a mind on the logical side and having a good eye / ear for prettiness and harmonies and good pattern recognition skills and good observational skills and good analytical skills, and my protectors & I have the best of these skills and the supreme artistic talents, but I still cannot create a language that’s prettier than Norse / Icelandic / English / Dutch / Gothic, as they were already created by someone else, and it’s not possible to create a language that’s prettier than them!

    You can get by in English without getting around to getting into the more obscure phrasal verbs so no need to get down on yourself if you don't always get them, but once you get through the early stages (hopefully without letting the stranger ones get to you) and get over initial points of confusion (like how it is that I can get away with get getting used so often in this comment) you'll get to get a load of the reactions that others will have to your new "get" at get togethers with native speakers who may have gotten used to you not using phrasal verbs. Maybe you'll even get along with them better because you'll have gotten more confident and outgoing! What I am getting at is getting ahead on phrasal verbs is something to get in on before time gets away from you that you will get a lot out of. You'll be glad you did once you have gotten past it.

      By the way, there are actually over 3 billion speakers of English, if one includes the ones that speak it at a B1 or B2 level aka the intermediates, and, all ppl are the exact opposite of ‘royalty’ and are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as everyone else, and I am THE only Royalty aka the pure / superior being, and my pure protectors aka the alphas too, and I also am the only girl / feminine being, and réłationships are only meant for us pure beings (me & the pure protectors) and were never meant for ppl, and there must be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and one should never learn languages to ‘get x or y’ etc, it’s literally the most efd non-reason to learn anything, and the right reasons to learn languages are for their pretty and poetic words, so all should only learn the pretty languages for their pretty words and for their pretty sounds etc, which is the wise thing to do and the key to being a successful polyglot, as one naturally learns the prettier and more distinctive words faster, which makes pretty languages the easiest languages ever!

      English IS a Germanic language, not a Latin language, since it sounds and looks 100% Germanic, and English has the most logical spelling and pronunciation rules, which is why it sounds AND looks awesome and serious and professional, as the creator of English was a true linguist that knew that the pronunciation of each word must be decided based on what sounds best for each word, which is why rough is pronounced with an F sound, as it should!
      Technically, all the pretty languages that are well-constructed have words that are spellt the same and pronounced differently, and also, words that are spellt differently and pronounced the same, and, they even have words with multiple meanings etc, which is what makes the languages more fun and more diverse, and, learners are supposed to actively learn each word with its pronunciation and spelling, just as natives did passively, which is the right way to learn pretty languages!
      Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, and where most words directly or indirectly come from doesn’t make the language what it is, it’s the word endings and the letter combinations and the sound patterns and the combination of sounds and the pronunciation rules etc that make a language what it is, and any true linguist would know these facts, so a language could have only words from Latin, but if its letter combinations and its word endings for verbs and nouns and adjectives etc and its sound patterns etc are Germanic, it is a Germanic language one hundred percent, as the words are modified into Germanic words, which means that words that come from Latin are no longer Latin, once the new word endings and letter combinations or the new pronunciation rules etc are applied, which turn them into Germanic words!

      Besides, Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, so it makes sense that they have tons of cognates with Latin languages, and they aren’t loanwords usually - Slavic languages also come from Latin, and, even the modern Celtic languages come mostly from Latin and Norse, which is why the modern Celtic languages are so pretty and elvish and give off strong Norse / Dutch / English / Germanic vibes and have mostly words that come from Latin and Norse and English!

    As a non native English speaker, I think "Dogwater" is a little too harsh for a language that allows you to communicate with everyone, even with your goldfish. True, no one does backflips and no one gives a sh*it how you learnt it. and the pronunciation is just arbitrary. But you have to give it at least some credits that English forced everyone, I mean EVERYONE, to learn it.

    The beauty of English, since everybody learns it, is that it has the power to connect communities from all over the world. I'm from Brazil, fluent in English, and learning German as my third language. I've used Tandem a lot before getting the C1 level and I could learn a lot from a lot of different people coming from very unique cultural backgrounds. There were rooms where literally everybody was from a different country, but we could maintain a meaninful conversation and understand ourselves through English. And, at least in my opinion, since the main purpose for learning a new language is communication and cultural enrichment, English does a really well and unique job at it 🇧🇷🇺🇸🇩🇪

      Yeah agreed, really the only point of a language is to facilitate communication, which English does better than any other language. This isn't really just because of the merits of the language itself as it is because of colonial history, although you could make the argument that the myriad of loanwords makes it somewhat more accessible to a wider audience, and that you can still be understood despite making lots of mistakes. Should be gigachad tier for becoming the de facto language of the world regardless

    Lang Simp I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge. Pick any 10 languages video yourself taking the challenge and inspire us. (whether you have studied are familiar with or not). This is a fun opportunity to showcase your talent with a little bit of humility proving you too are human and still a language learner. You can put the flags of the 10 languages you choose for the challenge in both the thumbnail and the title and tag the video as #takingtheclosemaster 10 languages challenge. While also tagging the languages of the challenge. When choosing from a diverse variety of languages consider this, to include some of those you're familiar with, those that you are not, and those that you will later learn. Choosing to include a conlang like Interlingua and an ancient language like Latin will keep the challenge diverse while bringing recognition to these languages (you may surprise yourself). Consider getting a hold of Clozemaster they may be interested in sponsoring the video. We as a community of language Learners need a challenge that we can all appreciate and try together. To get the most out of the video challenge adjust the settings as follows: put the skills to listening, the question count to 10, and the mode to multiple choice. Then you can adjust the account to dark mode (as it's more attractive) and the default speed to 75% for better hearing the questions. Doing a dry run will ensure all the settings are correct. Keep a notepad by your side to keep track of the language scores. Before you end the video it would be nice if you encouraged other polyglots and language Learners to take up the challenge.

    I find it ironic that my value as a member in my society got higher because I was better than my peers at understanding and using the lingua franca. My understanding of English carried me through my school and academic life. The language opened up the floodgate that's called internet content so I became more knowledgeable in my areas of interest.
    It's both weird and wonderful that how just being able to speak English carried me through my life but that alone obviously won't be enough for me to secure in the near future. So, that situation irked me and I started to desire learning more languages and gain real life skills.

    Hello Simp!
    Thank you for the essay about English language. I'm a Pole and I've already watched some of your videos including about Polish language.
    But first I want to make a remark about letters. You said that they are English letters which is not strictly correct. In fact they are Roman or Latin letters which make up Roman or Latin alphabet. The letters were invented long ago in the Roman Empire era and were spread out on territories with many other nations and their languages (mostly in Europe). Over time, even after the collapse of the Roman Empire the letters were used in writing, firstly in Latin texts but with time they were adapted in national languages in almost entire Europe. Then they were modified by adding some signs to the original letters so now we have many different languages in Europe but the same letters or some with little ornaments.
    After the collapse of the Roman Empire Latin language was still in use in the church and in scientific area but with time national languages adopted the letters during their development.
    A similar writing system was developed in ancient Greece and it is still used in modern Greek language. The Cyrillic alphabet is also similar to the Latin.
    During the colonial conquests, the Latin alphabet came into use in many other non-European languages, but in some Asian countries completely different writing systems were already in use and remained there. These countries are China, Korea, Japan, India and a few others.
    In some countries there were original writing systems but they were replaced by our Latin letters. Example of this is Indonesia.
    In Wikipedia I found this definition: "The Latin alphabet, also known as the Roman alphabet, is the collection of letters originally used by the ancient Romans to write the Latin language."
    Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet
