Why can I only enjoy books written (or translated) in my native language?

Now you know why english is piss easy to learn.

Let me quote the same article to try to end this fruitless fight:

>"In any case, if I had to give a short answer to this question, I’d say “Who cares?” Each and every language is amazingly rich and interesting in its own way. Each language has its own genius and its own personality. Arabic has apparently over fifty different words for “camel”. In Korean, there are over five different words for each color equivalent in English (i.e. red, blue, yellow, etc.) and several thousands of words have both a pure Korean and a Sino-Korean (한자어) equivalent."

Can't enjoy something if you struggle to read it.

It's weird, I speak 4 languages and even though I'm a native German I rather read the English translations of books, I read the original for books written in any language I speak but I tend to go to English translations.

>struggle
I don't think you get it.

Verb "to be" (to be somewhere/to be something)

I am
You are
He is
We are
You are
They are

Verb "estar"( to be somewhere)-----------Verb "ser" (to be something) (Portuguese)
Eu estou Eu sou
Tu estás Tu és
Ele está Ele é
Nós estamos Nós somos
Vós estais Vós sois
Eles estão Eles são

>I rather read the English translations
You are a cultural cuck

Wow man you really showed us with those conjugations. If Portuguese is so great then why are we writing to each other in English right now?

Because it's the easiest language on the planet that's why.

So simply being difficult makes a language superior?

>Implying

Thousands of phonemes, most of which require you to actually know the word. For example:

>Through
>Though
>Thorough

Not to mention all the irregularity. Apart from the writing system, Japanese is far easier; to name but one example.

That's gutter-speak if I've ever heard it.

I dont know much about portuguese, but I searched in Google for "the most beautiful language in the world", and quite strangely one of the first answears I read mentioned Portuguese:

quora.com/What-are-the-most-beautiful-languages

It is indeed quite sonorous. But I think that this fighting of "muh language" is quite stupid.

Also, I must mention that I love the fact that English is simple to learn; to me this is a strong point, not a weak one.

>No language has more words than the english language
lol

idk man, sounds silly. most people learn other languages to enjoy literature in its original language, as it was meant to be

but on the other hand, i kinda get what you're saying; things i read in my native language resonate with me far more often than in english

What I noticed about the Portuguese is that when people have in mind the European Portuguese, they think "This is kind of an aggressive language, is like a worsened-Spanish, it is not ugly, but it's not beautiful: something is missing in it", but when they hear the Portuguese of Brazil, everything changes, and people come to wonder if it's even the same language, and they say "Oh, how sweet, oh, how sonorous is this language; it is the language of the songs, people talk as if thei were singing, it's like a language spoken by birds. "

Even so Italian is the most beautiful language in the world ;)

What's your native language?
