Is it easier or harder to learn a 2nd language when English is your native tongue?
Okay i have a theory that it’s easier to Learn English as a 2nd language compared with an English-native speaker trying to learn another language… Non-english ppl seem to have little trouble learning english, and since the global language pretty much is english its kinda shoved down their throat a lot of the time anyway. But in english-speaking countries there is less need to learn another language, and at least to me most if not all other languages are much more complicated to learn… Do others share this feeling? Or its about the same either way
It really depends on the language.
Most foreigners who Speak English started learning in school from a very early age — it’s very advantageous to be able to Speak English in the global community.
Some languages (e.g.; German) are very similar to English in terms of grammar and sentence structure — it’s really just a matter of memorizing vocabulary.
Some languages (e.g.; Latin) heavily influenced the development of English, and are easy to pick up the gist of.
Some languages (e.g. Spanish, if you live in California or Texas) you may be exposed to in your everyday life, and you may already have picked up some of.
