"English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. And while no one knows what is in a hotdog, you can be pretty sure it isn't canine. When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on. You get in and out of a car, yet you get on and off a bus. When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it? English is a silly language.. It doesn't know if it is coming or going!"
What do you think about this? I thinks it's really true! xD

English is full oh phrasal verbs, I hate them, they're so complicated!

Too true, and too funny! phrasal verbs are cool! but when it comes to remember them all...

You're right xD

Citazione :

Yes, but it's also funny!
I like translating them into Italian!

Citazione :

I think I will never remember all them...

Yes, it's 'a bit' difficult xD

Citazione :

I like Englis, in particular the pronunciation of some word like "plaseure"

I love saying "but it" with the American pronunciation *-* /b^Dit/ (If my English's teacher saw me, he'd kill me right now xD)

Do you prefer American's Enghish or the Britain's one?

Most of song I usually listen is in American English, that is such a "dialect". Anyway, I prefer British English, because it the "true" one for me. I think it is easier to uderstand than American one because of its accent

I prefer Britain's English, maybe 'cause I love England and English people! Two years ago, in fact, I had an amazing experience in England and so I fall in love with this country...

it's not just a dialect, the rhytm is very different and also the pronunciation. I think the British one is easier to understand but only the pure English maybe spoken only by the queen! Becaue in UK there is a variety of English! The Scottish accent, the Northern Irish accent and so on...

Oh my godxD just saw the vid *-* Well, i've talked with some english people and i was kind of able to understand them whatever they said, but i've never talked with an american so i don't know the difference i know, there are films ans songs and other stuff, but i think that talking 'face to face' is always the best way to judge

I can study hard (heavy) with a light (not heavy) book. the "light book" isn't a book made of light.

Oh Gosh! I lost this exciting topic Such a pity! xD

Well, I completely LOVE english...by the way, I prefer British English rather than A. English!

According to Deneb's suggestion, I think writing is a stimulant pastime...it allows you to express the whole mind, it allows to talk to yourself and to others, it allows you to say what you could not say other way.

Anyway, I think this is one among the best topics there are, I love speaking this language and you know! XD

Moreover, I would like to learn other languages like, for instance, Dutch or German; according to neo-latin languages, I used to talk French very well since I began attending High School, where I do not study that too...anyway, I would like to learn a bit of Spanish...and...concerning the debate you were talking 'bout, I have had speechs with both: american and british people! Needless to say, accents are very very different also among people who live in the same England (many times, people from Scotland talk in a unbearable way XD)...and, concerning Americans, they talk like they are bored XD Yeaaa, I mean properly that! American language is various, there are lots of "slangs", then the pronunciation often is not correct...summin' up, they have their own way of speaking!

British, British English! Even if there are so many idioms and accents!

Like I said, I prefer British English...But American one is so cool!

So I understood well... But then you said that the "light book" wasn't a book "easy to study" xD

Maybe, it could be also xD

However, I don't prefer any kind of accent (if I understand it), in general I prefer a kind of american accent but a clear and understandable accent, then a pure English cockney when I can't understand a word... So, it could be the opposite, a clear English accent and a confused American dialet... In this case I prefer English accent...

I prefer British English, but American English is beautiful too
