And that’s why French should have been the international language, not barbarian French (English)

  1. This is the thing I hate the most about learning English

  2. To be honest we can’t say we are very consistent either… Especially for grammar. The only exception is we made rules to explain it. Like a LOT of rules. When English are more : “Yolo, who give a f*ck”.

  3. As opposed to Fr*nch, where you write a word with 12 letters and only pronounce like three of them.

  5. Too bad, shoulda been the global hegemon for the 19th century then shouldn’t ya?

  6. Imagine having a simple language with consistent pronunciation.

  8. People in Greece go 😲 when I say I speak Chinese and russian but I’m significantly more impressed that they can speak English. Nothing compares to the stupidity of this language 

  9. Alright Pierre, you can’t even count to 100 logically…

  12. Barry tried to have a phonetically consistent language, but a quarter of the way through the process he got drunk and the result is clear to see.

    Maybe the EU should do what the EU does best and finally regulate English for poor Barry.

    And if you wanted a phonetically consistent language as lingua franca, Spanish would probably be the best option.

    P. S.: We’re not very consistent either. In this aspect we do like the Fr*nch, we create rules and more rules to disguise the Portuguese inconsistencies.

  13. English spelling is frozen in the 15th century, so what can you expect?

  14. French is also disgusting wtf

    Spanish should be the international language

  15. So we have an excuse to spit on random stranger while talking?

    Just talk Latin, the only right language

  16. French writes a word with three vowels all together and then pronounce the other two.

    Learn spanish, you don’t need to learn each word twice

  17. Pierre you are just butthurt that you had to learn another language. Your language makes as much sense as a German at a comedy club. Spanish would be a way better candidate.

  18. Every day I thank Barry for colonizing the world and forcing everyone to learn his franco-germanic bastard language because the alternative would be so much worse 🙏

  19. The problem is not the language tho, it’s the alphabet because the one we’re using was created by PIGS 🤢🤢

  20. imagine if english had a pitch accent. (it does but barely)

    that’d be scary.

  21. I have no respect for languages with a low level of transparency.

  22. You’re all just dumb it’s so easy you learn it when you’re like 4

  23. No, I dont want to say 16 syllables to say ‘please’.

  26. Pierre, I’m not sticking with 4 times 20 18 for the rest of my life just to say 98

  27. To be fair though this is not a real problem. You learn pronounciation listening to native speakers, and if you mess it up anyway, chances are you are close enough they understand what you meant.

    Funny video tho

  29. I think it should be Latin because I think that even Barry 63, from Liverpool, would sound refined speaking it.

  30. That is why most people with proficient English I know learned it from video games and those that only tried to learn it in school struggled with it and dropped it: it’s easier when you’re not trying to make sense of it
