The Polish language - it's bloody hard! [210]
My English is very well developed. In fact, I've had several of my stories published in local newspapers. I would think that for an English-speaker, Polish would be more difficult to learn because Polish belongs to the Slavic class of languages while German is a Germanic language just like English. The sounds of German would be more closely-related to English. Reading and writing is more difficult in Polish. Many would agree that Polish text looks a lot more intimidating than German text. I do not speak German fluently so I can't say for sure that it's more specific than Polish, however, I know Polish can definitely be very specific in some aspects. For example, in English we have the word "word" which can refer to a written word or a spoken word. In Polish we have "wyraz," which refers to a word written on paper but we also have "słowo," which refers to a word that is spoken.
