i find your "work" on Harry Potter to be your only read-able work thusfar. maybe you're more coherent in French but tbh your writings in english come off as the ramblings of a madman.


contrary to what people believe, the English language is an extremely complex language.
in English, sentences do not have a precise structure.
An example I like to quote is the example of Daffy Duck who says:

Quote (Daffy Duck)
Flattered though I may be, flattened I will not.


Looney Tunes back in action, 2003

A phrase structure is extremely variable in English, and that makes the English language a very difficult language to speak for me.

Most of the time, I use Google Translate.
I don't write English sentences by myself.
:blush:

you are so curious, buddy
you want to know everything and pay nothing
I have a part of mystery

curiosity is an eastern intelligence.
you must learn to control your curiosity

english is an incredibly difficult language. if you're using only translate to write you're doing surprisingly well.

objectively it's one of the hardest languages to learn as a 2nd language. the only comparable thing is going from one linguistic group to another, such as a native english speaker trying to learn Japanese which has entirely unrelated phonetic sounds. compare that to a french speaker learning english, it's not a physical barrier but rather the fact that english has 10 ways to say anything, and they're all correct. sentence structure isn't set, and every word has 10 synonyms.

my father has a lot of difficulty speaking English.
I have a lot of difficulty speaking English.
my Spanish friend (a cute girl) has a lot of difficulty speaking English.

my Arab friends have a lot of difficulty speaking English.

Emmanuel Macron has difficulty speaking English.

English is a really very complex language, and very difficult to speak.

Trust me.
