Learning my second language was harder than learning my native language for several reasons. There are some similarities between my native language, which is Arabic, and my second language, which is English, but there are many differences. The reasons that made me learn my native language easier than my second one is. First is the communication, I was surrounded by people who spoke my native language. Second is age, I was a child when I was learning my native language and studies explained that a person can learn in early age better than in lately age. The similarities between my native language and my second language is. Formula, they have the same formula, which is SVO . Also, they have some similar words like lemon, light, glass and many other words. The differences between my native language and my second language is. First, in Arabic language there are two formulas which are SVO and VSO, but in English language there is one formula, which is SVO . Second, English is written and read from left to right while Arabic is written and read from right to left. Third, the English language has 26 letters while the Arabic language has 28 letters. Finally, the Arabic sentence may not contain a verb. In the end although I have not mastered English yet as you know there is not any language is hard to learn if you have a determination you can learn any language.
Mohammed,
ReplyDeleteThe formula for the English language is SVO not SOV.
Thanks for your feedback,
ReplyDeleteYou're correct, I wrote SOV by mistake instead of writing SVO.
Thanks,
Mohammed
