Why are peoplelikelyto have troublelearning English?Actually, I didn’trecognisethe problem until my son’s question reminded me: Why was there no ham in a hamburger? Then I was aware of the unique craziness of English. Many words seem logical, while many others we come across can be rather confusing with nobase. For example, we sculpt a sculpture but we take a photo. We can get seasick at sea, but we don’t get homesick at home. These types of examplesreflect the creativity of the human race. That’s why when stars are out, they are visible, but when lights are out, they are invisible. In addition, American English and British English are different in several ways. For example, Americans put gas in cars and drive along the highway; however, the British use petrol and drive along the motorway. Despite the difference, they can understand each other from the context. If you intendto learn English, don’t let negative feelings dominate when you make errors.
