There was a series written by Enid Blyton...I am forgetting the name...but it was about twin sisters..Pat and Isabell who could never get their Rs right...that is why I said it😆😆


Hey, that's discrimination! 😆

No, not all Canadians. French is the second official language of Canada, yes. You should know, yes. But unless you're born in Quebec or few other French provinces or go to French school or you come from a French BG ... Not necessary you'd know the language.

And do you know Desis (Most Idiots) in Canada prefer their children to go to English schools because of their lack of knowledge and it is hard. For em.

But honestly, if you have your mind set, you can learn any language. 😆

Not sure those who works with Chinese has this problem or not? Remembering their names 🤔 that too full name 😆 they make it very easy wen they ask other to call them with their surname 😆


Just few days back I received a call from a Chinese girl & she asked me to tell my boss to return call & told me her name too. All I did after that was repeating the name 🤣 I got busy and the name just slipped out from my mind.

Chinese and Arabic are the toughest I have found. Its a nightmare. In Chinese, Mandarin is easier than Cantonese though, there are less way you can say the same word in Mandarin, hence fewer meanings. 4 for Mandarin as opposed to 9 I think, for Cantonese. Like I said, a nightmare.😆

Between the two you mentioned I would say Japanese. You have to go a really long way before you can write anything of value in Japanese. Way too many words to learn.

Also in the end it comes down to the person's interest as well. If you are really interested you will find it much, much easier than the average person.

Regarding as to whether they will learn the whole language, nope; they won't. I doubt they will go beyond their dialogues, even to the basics of grammar, vocabulary etc. Don't think Bollywood is really there yet to get that amount of detail right; though this is an encouraging trend.

The most important thing they need to work on most is the accents. Its harsh to expect them to take full language courses. But yeah basic grammar, vocabulary should be studied imo. It makes the performances that much better, if you understand what you are doing and the room for improvisation increases.
