# It's the only thing that stops foreigners
learning the whole language in two months. We don't have any crazy gendered grammatical weirdness or insane bajillion-character alphabets to scare people off with, you see.

# hm
I see

we don't have the crazy gendered grammatical weirdness either

but we do have three more characters
Å Ä Ö
you have the exact same sounds in your language, you just don't have any specific characters for them

# Heh.
All our vowel sounds change depending on where you are in the country anyway, so even if we did use fancy extra letters we'd just spend all our time arguing about how they're meant to sound.

# yeah
that's why we foreigners usually restrict ourselves to BBC pronounciation, or GA.

we did learn about some oddities like the glottal stop and suchlike

# never thought of how totally illogical some english words are
I'm glad I learnt it at a young age
aparently I taught myself the english language.
one day when I was five or six they found me talking to an american girl the same age. Must have picked it up from the telly....

# Ha!
Trying to learn Welsh, with old English letters now used as vowels : "w" sounds like "oo" in look.

The tutor thinks Welsh in a 'souf lundun' accent is hilarious.
