View Profile You mean some countries. It's difficult for countries that doesn't use ABC as their common language but the countries that do like Indonesia, Malaysia that has similar language wouldn't have as much difficulty learning it.
You see, it's the transition to other form of letters make it hard to learn other languages.

View Profile Humans don't only use 10% of their brain(can't believe this wasn't said yet)
Also, the fact that humans actually DO use 100% of their brain, however if you use all 100% at the same time, you'll have a seizure. But we do use all 100% of our brain, just some sections at different times.
I mentioned this in the front post, lol.

It's also the grammar. Spanish-speakers commonly have trouble with English despite using what is virtually the same alphabet due to grammar. English is the melting pot of languages so, it borrows rules from many different languages and oftentimes those rules together don't make much sense; not the way a language like Spanish has grammar that makes sense, anyway. And then of course there is the problem of having to adjust to Germanic phonetics mixed in with some cases Hellenic (Hellenik?) and Romance phonetics; and the odd spelling that also stems from this.
Adjusting to new alphabets is a problem associated with learning most world languages, not just English.

Also pyramids used to be white and shiny and not the brown dusty bricks you see today. They were never like that in the past. Pretty much how the greek ruins werent marble white but are like that now as a result of deterioration and time. It used to be hippie colorful as people used vegetable extracts to colorate it
