EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO ENGLISH
i've seen that Mandarin is hard to learn but English is the hardest to master. even as a native English speaker it's hard for me sometimes bc of all the grammatical rules​

Spelling is a mess sometimes

They say Hungarian is in the top 5 most difficult languages worldwide together with Mandarin. And as a Hungarian who's major was Hungarian during uni years, I can say that everything is difficult about my own language. They tried to simplify some linguistic stuff over the years, but well.
I wish grammar could be easier.

For real... I catch myself on Google sometimes to make sure I spelled some words right. I shouldn't be doing this with my native language

i cant even speak my native language to begin with, and its impossible to learn online since theres barely any good resources, i guess i'd make it more accessible

i should have rephrased that.. they are easy but the way they are supposed to be used; like nouns, adjectives, COMMAS, APOSTROPHES, can be super difficult imo

there are still some things I don't get about English, like how many commas in a sentence is too many? lol Is there even a limit?

English is my first language. Pronunciation is a bit hard, specifically biological, even as someone who’s second language is Latin, examples include: Deoxyribonucleic acid, Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, Megavirus chilensis, Mamavirus, Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus, etc.

i dont think there is a limit, i think the english makers were like, "no one should need more than 5, right?"...
my sentences consisting of up to 10
