What is something about the English language that you find most difficult or pisses you off?
For example there are different sounds in different languages and if you’re not raised to make those sounds it can be very hard if not impossible to say it the “correct” way.
Like “Th”, which I know is hard to sound out for a lot of people.
I similarly have a very hard time with the German “Ö” and “ch” and the Russian “Щ”.
Or maybe there are grammatical rules that don’t make any sense to you. I would love to hear about it

R and Th pronunciation man, it's sooo difficult.

Only the spelling. All the rest is shit-easy.

The spelling makes no sense. If you hear a new word, you have no idea how it's spelled. Spelling bees would be impossible in Finnish, but they work with English since it's total guesswork what letters a word happens to have in it
I also find the R sound awkward, but I rarely speak English and that's probably something I'd get used to

Present perfect tenses. My native language doesn't have something like that so it took me a
really long time to understand it. I still don't know when I should use ''had''

virtually nothing. English is extremely easy.
>Like “Th”, which I know is hard to sound out for a lot of people.
i don't have that sound indeed. but i could pronounce it if i really needed to. and personally i prefer TH-fronting as it is a feature in many native English dialects with its own rules (and i'm not even referring to ebonics)
