I like Douglas Carr’s blog very much.It is very informative. I wish he could explain why he considers that English is a peasant language.
Thanks.

I think it is one of the best ways to learn Enlish especially for ones who are not native speakers. I am waiting for your films.

Hi Dan and Joel.

Great idea and I wish you much success.

I wanted to make a few points for your site visitors and have set out some below.

For historical reasons English is basically a peasant language so grammatically it is very simple. (I can explain why it is a peasant language in another mail if needed).

But it is also a very mixed language with influences from Latin, Saxon, Old German and many more… therefore we use many words that sound the same but mean different things E.G bi, by, bye, and to, too, two and so on.

It is also a dynamic language that changes almost daily with new words coming in and old words disappearing.

Anyone wishing to learn English shouldn’t worry too much about pronunciation or sentence structure (unless in a business or legal environment) as many native English speakers don’t know the rules anyway.

Just try to enjoy the learning experience.

Be patient when talking the language (don’t talk too fast), and don’t worry if English people look as though they don’t understand you…. we hardly understand each other most of the time.
