Why English Spelling is So Hard

Shakespeare's Bad English This animated short subject explains why English spelling is so illogical and what Shakespeare had to do with it, along with how other languages spell.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: In the video, it describes the Rs in the German word Berliner as silent (in some dialects). This is a pretty broad statement and probably not accurate, especially in terms of the first R -- it would be better to say it hollows out into a vowel. The final R seems more silent in that it only alters the final E. I'm going with the Harper Collins dictionary on this:



The link has a cickable sound file so you can decide for yourself whether both, one or neither of the Rs could be called silent :-)

There's some further discussion on this in the comments section of this video. Thanks to all for watching & commenting!

German isn't ALWAYS SCARY | The Parts That Make Learning Easy

Last week we sat down and talked with you all about the difficulties that exist in learning German. Of course, learning any language can be daunting and difficult for anybody, all for their own different reasons. Still, it can absolutely be true that each language has its own unique features that make it nice and easy to learn as well.

So today we are talking about some things in the German language that can make getting started a little bit easier. You won't be writing any essays any time soon with what we have to say, but maybe it'll give you that little push to really dive in!

How to know English to you..

English is a West Germanic language first spoken in early medieval England, which has eventually become the leading language of international discourse in the 21st century.[3][4][5] It is named after the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the area of Great Britain that later took their name, England. Both names derive from Anglia, a peninsula on the Baltic Sea. English is most closely related to Frisian and Low Saxon, while its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other Germanic languages, particularly Old Norse (a North Germanic language), as well as Latin and French.

Aasters and the dire language situation on the island of Terschelling

Ken Ho and Dyami Millarson stayed on the island of Terschelling from 5 to 7 September in 2016 to investigate Aasters/Aastersk which is the conservative Frisian language spoken in the East of the island. They were chiefly focused on the culture and history of the speakers of Aasters and the societal problems concerning the preservation of Aasters. There are only about 200 speakers left of Aasters according to statistics from 2004. Three languages are spoken on the island of Terschelling. A Frisian language towards the West, a Frankish language in the middle, and a Frisian language towards the East which is known as Aasters. The language that is spoken in the West is called Westers and it is a sister language of Aasters while it is closely related to the latter. The language in the middle of the island is called Midslands. This video was recorded on the first day Ken Ho and Dyami Millarson were on the island. In the video they discuss the Aasters word ‘jeure’ which is undoubtedly related to Swedish ‘göra’, Old Norse 'gøra' or 'göra' (probably spelling variations which represent the same underlying pronunciation), Icelandic 'gera', Danish 'gøre', Norwegian 'gjøre' or 'gjere', and Elfdalian 'djärå'. They put forth the idea that ‘jeure’ may not be derived from Scandinavian but that it is a genuinely Frisian word preserved in Aasters. This is an important issue because Aasters may be the only West Germanic language to have preserved this verb. Another interesting word in Aasters is the word for horse which is a cognate of the English word: hos. It is also related to Dutch 'ros'. Ken Ho and Dyami Millarson stayed at the Folkshegeskoalle which is located in a forest on the East of the island. They had an interview with the local newspaper in the evening of the first day (Monday the 5th of September 2016). The article was published in ‘de Terschellinger’ on the 8th of September 2016. It talked about Ken Ho’s interest to learn how to speak Aasters and his desire to save the language from extinction. Anyone who knows something about Aasters is welcome to contact the duo. Ken Ho and Dyami Millarson are also interested in meeting speakers of Aasters who want to help them learning the language. When Ken Ho returns to Hong Kong, he and Dyami Millarson want to focus chiefly on learning Aasters.

Special note on the etymology of 'jeure'

It is curious that Aasters may be the only West Germanic language in which this verb can be found. However, this is not totally clear because Dutch 'gerven', Low German 'gerwen' and German 'gerben' may originate from the same Germanic verb. Moreover, even in Old Norse the more archaic form of this Germanic verb appears to be the one with the w-sound (i.e. 'gørva' or 'görva') and what is characteristic of the Scandinavian languages is the historical loss of the w-sound in certain positions, which may suggest that 'jeure' has a Scandinavian origin. But, if we follow the line of reasoning that the forms with the labial sound following the 'r' are more archaic and that the loss of the labial sound in such positions is a 'Scandinavian' innovation, may it be possible that the loss of a labial consonant is a genuine feature of Aasters? More research into the origins of 'jeure' is needed and Ken Ho and Dyami Millarson wish to investigate the etymology of Aasters words in the future once they have acquired the language.
