    Is #English your native language, as it is mine? #Polish and #Czech are both #Slavic languages, and I've found Czech way more challenging than the other languages I've dabbled with (#Spanish and #French, both of which are #Romance languages, and seem to have a lot in common with English in terms of their #grammar, #SentenceStructure, and largely #Latin-based lexicons).

    Of course, English is primarily a #Germanic language, so the reasons why Romance languages seem easier to me than Slavic languages are probably best explained by someone who knows a lot more about #Linguistics, #LanguageHistory, and #ProtoIndoEuropean.

    Calling all #Linguists and #LanguageNerds! 🤓

  6. EDIT! Thanks to @larsibacken we now have a proper group which can be reached via @languagelovers

    Maybe a good point of departure would be to create a list of resources? I did a quick & dirty image design for this, which I will attach to this message. ;-)

    I hope that we can form a supportive & inclusive group for language lovers.
