    @@bahamansour3178 I think Spanish it's easy to learn in some way because the pronunciation it's standard (the pronunciation doesn't change depending on different words), and also you have only five vowel sounds. However, the grammar could be a little bit tough if you are an English speaker, because you have more tenses and you conjugate verbs (depending on the nouns).

But bcz i traveled to Africa some years ago i learnt some French. Now i,m boosting what i had learnt ,thx to the youtube. In all languages it is the grammer that's always comlicating and the difficulty varies of course from one language to another. possibly English language remains the easiest among all . Lastly , what is more difficult : Spanish language or Italian language? And is there any similarity between both ? Thank you

    Gill, you are so cute and so English: you give us an example of someone apologizing for being 5 minutes late. 🤣 I'm from Argentina, 5 minutes does not even count as "late". You need from 15 minutes on to apologize. It's called "the 15 minutes tolerance".. and, believe it or not, it's a formal thing for some jobs. Although nowadays, everyone keeps you informed via WhatsApp where they are and when exactly are arriving.

    Dear Ma'am Gill, This lesson on Slang and Informal words was quite interesting ! It's quite surprising to know that the word 'wicked'can also be used in a positive sense ! Though the word doesn't sound good and we are conditioned to believe that 'wicked' is bad.We often come across the word 'fancy' in the 18th century novels which literally means to imagine or to think.It was quite an old usage and was very much in vogue in the then times. Thanks,Ma'am for coming up with new English lessons ! It's brilliant ! ( Ma'am,kindly let me know if i have used the word 'brilliant' correctly ! I have tried to apply it while writing a sentence and that's how we learn something accurately !)
