People assume that because I'm an English teacher / linguist, that I want to hear their (uninformed) opinions on language. If people start on this topic and I've had a little to drink, I say in an annoying singsong voice "relatividadeeeeeee!" and Alexandre usually shakes his head and the other person gets confused.
ReplyDeleteWhat I mean by "relativity" is that no language is harder than any other language. If you speak Spanish as a first language, then you'll think Portuguese is easier than English. If you speak Dutch as a first language, you'll think English is easier. (Some linguists try to argue, however, that Javanese is the most difficult language in the world. It has 36 different verb tenses based on social status, and that's hard for anyone to pick up.)
But Brazilians have the notion that Portuguese is harder because of the two versions of Portuguese that I wrote about in my blog. English doesn't have that to such an extent, so they think English is easier.

Maybe you can try giving people those arguments, but I've noticed that most people (in any country) aren't interested in having their opinions debased. So you could just say "relativity!" too and confuse them into quiet. :)
