Start learning a new language today with a 7-day free trial
You could forgive a student for asking why we tack on 4 vowels that make absolutely no difference to the sound!
Of course, this word is borrowed from Frenchโฆbut in French it doesnโt even mean โqueueโ, it means โtailโ.
Now, depending on what language youโre starting with, English pronunciation can be a bit of a nightmare to get your mouth around.
Take the simple โthโ sound.
Unless you are Spanish, Greek, Arabic, Swahili or Icelandic, you will probably have trouble with this oneโฆ
To be fair, โthโ is a pretty rare sound out there!
Only about 7,5% of the worldโs languages have โthโ sounds. And it doesnโt help that it has two pronunciations: think of theโthโ in โthisโ vs โtheโ.
And then some languages donโt use โrโ like we do โ or at all: And here we are, crying about the Spanish Rrrrrrrrrr.
#2 Unpredictable And Perplexing Spelling
Pronouncing words as theyโre written? Pft!
English gives you weird spelling rules, and then breaks those rules.
Like these two words:
colonel
kernel
Say them out loud. Go on.
Yep โ theyโre said exactly the same way. Explain that to your English student.
But letโs be honest with each other: even native English speakers find English spelling perplexing.
Why do you think our social media is so full of grammar police? The language is just asking for it!
Now imagine you learn a language really well in one country, then you fly to a different country to immerse for 6 months, only to find that the spelling rules have changed.
For the same language.
America, UK, Australia โ yeah, you know what Iโm talking about.
And to make matters worse, thereโs often a humongous pronunciation gap between native speakers even within one district.
Slang can be extreme in many neighbourhoods, and travelers trying to immerse in English often have no clue whatโs even going onโฆ
And then, of course, I have to throw in the famous one:
bough โ though- thought โ cough โ rough โ through โ thorough โ hiccough
One grapheme, 8 sounds?
If you were a mean English teacher, you could punish your students with a sentence like:
โThe rough, dough-faced ploughman fought through the borough to the lough, hiccoughing and coughing.โ
These are real language learning problems!
#3 The Same, But Opposite
English has a lot of nonsensical words like โpineappleโ. Okay, you could just learn those without analysing them.
But then you get words that mean the same thing although look like they should be antonyms:
Flammable
Inflammable
Really โ whose bright idea was this?
Same goes for โfamousโ and โinfamousโ. Not opposites!
They both mean that someone is well-known, but in different ways.
English prefixes certainly donโt have simple rules that you can just learn and apply to new vocabulary.
How about those same-but-opposite verbs?
โTo dustโ means to remove dust from something.
And
โTo dustโ means to sprinkle dust on something.
Speaking of verbs, nouns can become verbs and still make sense, somehow โ at least to native speakersโฆ
โStop horsing around! Iโm trying to dialogue with my sister.โ
Verbing is NOT a concept easily taught to learners of English โ itโs all about contextโฆ and lots of time hanging out with native speakers!
Next up, read this sentence and guess the meaning:
โI never said he stole my horse.โ
Think itโs obvious what it means and Iโm messing with you?
Think againโฆit all depends which word in the sentence you emphasise!
I never said he stole my horse. (Someone else said it)
I never said he stole my horse. (I didn't say that)
I never said he stole my horse. (I just implied it)
I never said he stole my horse. (I just said someone did)
I never said he stole my horse. (I considered it borrowed)
I never said he stole my horse. (It could have been someone elseโs horse)
I never said he stole my horse. (He stole something else of mine though)
Oh English, you prankster.
Well, perhaps emphasis is our equivalent of tones, and our Mandarin-speaking friends will find English quite a charm to learn!
#4 Contractions
I have a teammate who taught English in Asia and her recruiter, who had learned English to a high level, would often say encouraging things like:
โJust keep being the teacher that youโre.โ
and sheโd wait for the rest of the sentenceโฆ
โThe teacher that Iโmโฆwhat?โ
โThe teacher that youโre.โ
See the problem?
Learning this cool English trick called โcontractionsโ is not easy.
You can end a sentence with โdon'tโ or โcan'tโ, but you canโt end with โyouโreโ or โitโsโ โฆ even though itโs fine to end with โyou areโ or โit isโ!
And if โdonโtโ means โdo notโ, then why is it okay to say:
โWhy donโt you?โ but you canโt say โWhy do not youโ?
We must all seem crazy to learners of English!
And you should warn new students to get an up-to-date dictionary, because English is fickleโฆ
โEgregiousโ used to mean โremarkably goodโ. Now it means โoutstandingly badโ.
#5 Pluralisation
Okay. So youโre learning English and youโve finally grasped plurals โ and it wasnโt easyโฆ
(s) The boy reads the book โ (p) They (the boys) read the book
(s) She cries โ (p) They (the girls) cry
So โtheyโ is plural, right? Awesome!
Until you overhear a native English speaker sayโฆ
โIf someone reads this book, they are going to cry.โ
This is how we speak. Even though itโs not grammatically correct, using โtheyโ/โthemโ/โtheirโ as a singular pronoun is so common that itโs accepted.
The reason we do it? We have no pronoun genders.
โSomeoneโ could be male or female. So we say โtheyโ.
Youโll recognize these, as wellโฆ
House โ Houses but Mouse โ Mice
Moose โ Mooses but Goose โ Geese
Fox โ Foxes but Ox โ Oxen
#6 Vowels
Be honest with me now. You haven't really thought about this next thing: we have more vowel sounds than letters to express them.
First, thereโs the schwa sound โ a kind of weak vowel sound.
In a written word, this sound could be represented by an a, e, i, o, u, or even y.
about, stolen, pencil, memory, supply, vinyl
Then, one little vowel letter can represent many different vowel sounds:
hat, hate, all, art, any
So I reckon maybe we are missing letters from our alphabet!
The opposite is also trueโฆ
A single vowel sound can be made with different vowel letters:
they, weigh, may, cake, break, rain
But thatโs nothing. The vowel sound โeeโ can be spelled in at least 21 different ways!
This is why reading is so essential if youโre learning English (or any language) โ reading will give you the same visuals of common words, over and over!
Now hereโs something interesting: Did you know that most languages donโt have a thesaurus?
#7 Synonyms
If youโve read quite a bit of writing by intermediate English students, you may have noticed a common tendency to use synonyms as though theyโre interchangeable.
For example, the linking word โmoreoverโ gets used a lotโฆ
โShelley decided sheโs going to the wedding, and moreover, she'll be singing.โ
But to a native speaker, this sounds weird in a casual context. English speakers rarely use โmoreoverโ unless theyโre being formal.
โShelley decided sheโs going to the wedding, and whatโs more, sheโll be singing.โ
But it's understandable โ modern English has an unusually large number of synonyms โ wayyy more than other languages. Way more.
So itโs not easy to get a native-like feel for choosing the right one.
For a student, this means itโs always going to be a gamble when they reach for a thesaurus!
And then there areโฆ
#8 Phrasal Verbs
Oh boy. How does an English learner get these right when even English natives mix them up?
Give in, Give out, Give up, Give away, Give toโฆ
And to make matters worse, certain phrasal verbs have multiple meanings.
Think you know what โtake offโ means? Think again.
Here are its different meanings:
Remove something, like clothes
Get time off work
An airplane flying up from the runway
Leave the people youโre with and go somewhere else
Suddenly begin to see increased success
Delete something
And donโt get me started on silent letters โ weโll be here all day if I get into that.
But probably the hardest of all English skills to master is one that even native English speakers get wrong every single day: writing.
How do you use the Oxford Comma?
Where do apostrophes go?
Which adverbs get a hyphen after them?
Writing requires the most focus of all the language skills and even many English speakers battle with this.
And come to think of it, if youโre learning English I would NOT advise asking your new friends at the pub for punctuation tips!
#9 Borrowed Words
Look, one of the reasons for the endless inconsistencies in English is that it has borrowed words from so many other languages.
The writer, James Nichol, nailed it:
โEnglish doesnโt just borrow words; English follows other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.โ
As a matter of fact, English is the world champion of borrowed words!
So, dear friends, next time a foreign person speaks to you in broken Englishโฆbe kind, will you?
And to finish up, here's a rule I'm pretty sure you donโt know you know.
#10 Rules Weโve Internalised Without Being Taught
Finally, read this sentence with me:
Itโs a lovely little old rectangular blue French diamond engagement ring.
Now try and mess with that word order. Go on. Suddenly you donโt sound very articulate, do you?
When you describe something using a list of adjectives, it automatically goes: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose.
But who taught you that?
Native speakers have an intuitive grasp of word order in English and I guess we take this ability for granted!
But itโs really difficult for students to distinguish right from wrong โ making it almost impossible to fool a native speaker, ever!
So, why is English hard to learn? Well, thanks to these 10 reasons, now you know. And if you're learning English, you'll know that the language doesn't make it easy.
Iโd love to make it easier for you, so if you havenโt tried reading simple stories in English, you should check out my Short Stories books. I want you to win at this!
