Sorry,but I totally agree with Ricky. The English language is hard for people who are born here to understand,never mind if you’re from another country!🤓
I completely agree with Ricky here. Spanish is easy, straightforward, and logical: what is written is exactly as you pronounce it over and over; it doesn't matter what word it is. There are a few exceptions to the rules, but it certainly isn't as crazy as English. No wonder many foreigners have a hard time learning it!
PhoenixFire221 The Spanish language is controlled by a royal academy created in the 1600s. Therefore, all the schools and media have to follow those rules. So the only exceptions are differences between nations.
Except for preterit vs. imperfect, prepositions and the subjunctive, Spanish is a breeze. 😅 That’s why so many Americans who claims it’s so easy are not fluent. LOL
Actually English is pretty easy to learn. For Spanish and a bunch of other languages, even germanic ones related to English it matters very much what gender a noun is ,for example, because it changes the sentence. English doesn't care about that. Plural is also very easy in English just add s (for the most part). Spanish is similar, but take German for example which is related to English ,is crazy.
😂😂😂 yeah ahu if you remember where and how to put the accents... Mi Papa tiene 70 Anos? For example (My potato has 70 anuses) and how do you ever know what objects to refer to as feminine and masculine is beyond me.
Yes. Spanish grammar is far more complex than English. But English pronunciation is insane, it just doesn't make any sense a lot of times, which makes it difficult. Spanish is very phonetic so pretty easy to read. You can learn to read and write English perfectly, and not that hard. But to speak it is a tough challenge. How do you pronounce tough?
Classic clip. Every language has its quirks. Explaining that words have genders in Spanish to non-Spanish speakers creates the same frustration that poor Ricky had haha
This is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. My teacher showed the video in AP Human Geography to make a point on how different cultures have different dialects, which causes a "pronunciation variation", which results in different syntax, grammar, vocabulary, and cadence of words in different languages. When my teacher showed us this video, EVERYONE in the class was laughing out loud, and that is saying something because my class has 30 people. Thank you for sharing this video with youtube. I would share this on social media if I actually used social media.
+Bob Willson I also shared this with my colleagues at the ESL program I work at in Baltimore and their reaction was overwhelming. This clip really drives home the point that our language is very complex indeed. Thank you for the comment!
+Jv Myka It is not complex. It just has a difficult pronunciation, which is learned trough practice and memorization. That doesn't make it complex. English grammar is beautifully simple, practical, and easy to learn compared to most languages. I would say English is a simple (not complex) language, with a cumbersome pronunciation, and a highly non-phonetic writing. The mixing of latin (some words AND the latin alphabet) with an anglosaxon language makes a nice mess when it comes to reading English. Of course your students are going to be overwhelmed; they are learning a new language. Learning a new language is always overwhelming. This video happens to capture the most, if not only, difficult part of the English language.
There are 3 main categories of writing systems. Phonetic like Spanish, syllabic like Japanese, and pictorial like Chinese. The writing system of English is actually more similar to Chinese with the pictorial writing system because you have to remember the spelling of the word as a whole unit.
Absolutely brilliant skit! So far ahead of its time. And i remember learning all those words and their same spellings but different pronunciations in grade school in the late 50s, early 60s. It was known as Phonics, which isnt taught today. No wonder English is difficult to learn for foreigners!
My ex Wife is from Cuba and we would have times like this. It was trying to explain the workings of the English language that made me realize how inconsistent it is.
A lot of people think of many different I Love Lucy classics but this is also a favorite of mine because it rings so to to the craziness of the English language and so many people cn relate to that scene.
What Ricky says in the end fits also Italian and Finnish. Systematic, semi-syllabic/syllabic languages where combination of letters (a syllable in a sense) is always pronounced the same way
Although, spanish is my first language, english is the more challenging and the most beautiful in the voice of the best poets and novelists. Even Gabriel Garcia Marquez loved his One Hundred Years of Solitude in english translation. So, there's something to that!
English is two different languages mashed together: German (Anglo-Saxon) and French (Norman), with some other language bits tossed in: Latin, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Swedish, etc.
This is one with Hans Conreid as the tutor. His tippy tippy toe through the garden had me laughing so hard I almost got sick! And Fred got dressed up as a little schoolboy and came prancing in with a lollipop. Absolutely top notch writing and acting. Brilliant.

They are so funny. 😂 They had their Career many years before I was born. I missed them. They were too early for their time. But they are still relevant even in 2020 and so funny and loveable. 😀 💐 Efrat. Israel.
I forget where I read it, and I'm paraphrasing, but I've always loved the comparison that English is like several languages stuffed together like little kids in a trench coat pretending to be a single adult.
Believe it or not American English is reported as the most difficult language in the world to learn and the most challenging version of the English language worldwide. This video even explains why.
I am Italian. English grammar is very easy, and it takes a little effort to learn. All its difficulty lies in pronunciation (ok , you have to learn words and idioms like "it rains cats and dogs", but that's true for every language): understanding what word English-speaking people actually uttered isn't so easy for us foreigner, since the spoken sound does not map consistently to a written syllable. In Italy, we never need to spell our family name, and spelling is not a common practice at school: I've never done it, in fact. English people talking Italian sound funny to us, because they tend to distort vocals as they use to do with their language; of course, "Italian-English" is funny to native-English because our vocals have a flat, constant sound, without inflections.
Think my favorite English-word mispronunciation of Ricky's is "Psychiatrist", as he pronounces it, "pissykiatrist". Ha ha ha, "pissykiatrist", now that'll always be one for the books to better remember Ricky by. Ha ha:)
@SwarthySkinnedOne--Do you have a link to that clip? I want to show it to a friend learning English as a second language. She loved this video of Ricky saying "ough" words.
It might seem random that all those words ending in -ough are pronounced differently, but there are explanations for each one of those pronunciations, they're related to the word root, whether they come from french or from latin, etc. But these explanations are so hard to remember (because there are too many of them) that at the end you just have to learn the pronunciation by heart
Many, if not most, languages have a defined standard which gets updated periodically in a "language reform". Such language reforms attempt to sync up the written language with the spoken language, including with regards to spelling. For example, as an English-speaking German student in the early 70's, I became interested in Dutch as a research topic but could not find any books on it since it was going through a language reform at the time. Every spoken language diverges from its written form over time, but languages which allow reforms are able to sync up the spoken and the written while the language that do not allow reforms result in the spoken and written forms drifting ever further apart. English has no standard and hence has had no language reform in centuries. English spelling is a treasure-trove for historical linguists, but a nightmare for language learners (and even a few native speakers). One point was given by Robin Williams in his movie, "Moscow on the Hudson", in which he played a Russian who defects in NYC. In one scene with other restaurant dish washers, all non-English native speaking immigrants, he asks everybody else if their mouths also hurt after speaking English all day. In the early 70's we had a fellow student from Yugoslavia who remembered her one hour of English class as them coming out of class with all their mouths hurting from trying to pronounce English (it is tortuously different from most other European languages, especially in the vowels). The other point is a half-remembered quote from somewhere. It was from a student of English to the effect: "Why is English spelling so hard? To make us look stupid?"
i kinda wanna show this to my english club at my school here in japan but i dont think they will understand as they are junior high school kids. maybe only the high school kids might get it. would be fun to make a little activity with them about how some words spelled differently but sound the same or have same parts (like -ough) but sound different. kind of to show them how absurd it is at times
Yeah,,, that's what I was talking about Ricky Ricardo said it clearly... Spanish pronunciation is just simple, not matter what it's always pronounced exactly the same (with so few exceptions, obviously like any rules out there) ... not that crazy OUGH pronunciation... pretty weird!!
English is a mess because it's a mish-mash of a bunch of different languages. Ricky (Desi) has a good point that in many other languages, the spelling and sounding out of words are consistent, through and thruff.

This is a favorite scene from the show. English is a bastard language. Every other word is an exception to some nonexistent rule.

Most Romance languages (if not all) have them. French Genders are even harder than Spanish ones.
German also has Genders (three of them actually), and it isn't even a Romance language at all.
I know. How can the word chair have a gender? It's a chair.
