Difficult languages: Tongue twisters | The Economist

In search of the world’s hardest language

There is no such thing as the “world’s hardest language” to a child. What is the criteria? Kids can learn any and many of them without even trying (punks….) Some languages are more complex in some ways and less complex in others.  But the difficulty is relative to your mother tongue. 

Next you’ll tell me Eskimo has 100 words for snow, and if government figures out how to take words away like “freedom” and “liberty”, then we won’t have the ability to want or think about them.

raonndx asked: Hey so I'm a part time nerdfighter, when does Hank mentions the 8th Harry Potter book with Cumberbatch? Is this in a video I could possibly see online?

Ugh… Er… To the Youtubes!!!

*five minutes later*

So Someone made this easy for me.  Thank you, whoever you are for doing that. The actual point of deafness is about 7:50. He was so in shock he couldn’t play. <3

Hey! I got a word in there. Uhhh…
It’s late, but I had to say how wonderfully awesome it was to meet John and Hank (even if it was ever so short). I gave a wrong name to someone for tumblr.. Cuz in the heat of the moment, I failed to remember what my tumblr URL was.

What else..? Uhhh. I have no voice, I had so much fun and I met lots of people. I have never gotten so many compliments on a shirt before. Unless people were lying and they actually were staring at my chest. Can’t says I blames ‘em…

Okay now I know I lost it. Oh one last thought: If the Yeti was, who I think, it’s no surprise why Henry is so cute.

I have more to say, but Lynná stole my computer and I’m doing this via iPod. It shall come at a later date.
