It is difficult for anyone to learn a new language. Learning english is a challenge to all prospective students. english is a mixture of many languages french, Latin, German, greek and even Sanskrit (guru) but has an Anglo Saxon origin. english is the second most used language after chinese and the spread of english speaking countries are located far and wide. This has led to the development of different pronunciation and spelling of the english language. The spelling is obvious when comparing the British and American spellings of various words such as colour and flavour where the American version drops the ‘u' to form color and flavor. Pronunciation varies over small distances and even within the United Kingdom the language spoken by one person may not be understood by another due to accents. This is true all over the world and sometimes the difference can be within a city and different areas or social groups will have a different language understood by themselves even though it is basically the english language. The english language is still developing every day and new words are forming over different areas. This is due to slang and the formation of new fads, trends and concepts either developing new words or giving words alternative meanings. There are a vast number of other inconsistencies in the english language that can cause a new student some frustration. There are many words that have multiple meanings. A partial list of the sentences provided by Thomas Klimkiewicz in a piece english Language esl Learning is following to display multiple meaning concepts. "Some reasons to be grateful if you grew up speaking english: 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4) We must polish the Polish furniture. 5) He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8) At the Army base, a bass was painted on the head of a bass drum. 9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10) I did not object to the object. There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.' We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP... (Dreansteep.com) Now if that is not enough there are the rules that only sometimes apply. We see variation in forming plurals, some letters are silent and the same letters don't make the same sound. All this is demonstrated in the following paragraph taken again from “ english Language esl Learning” Thomas Klimkiewicz "We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, yet the plural of moose should never be meese You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice; yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet, and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that, and three would be those, yet hat in the plural would never be hose, and the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, but though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim. If Dad is Pop, how's come Mom isn't Mop?..."
