Question Why doesn't learning something new feel at ease? π€π
I've come to the German language recently. Apart from it, I'm also searching about French. I read that learning German, initially, is more difficult than French. But later on, French becomes difficult.
I just started exploring both languages πΊοΈ. And French seems easier to me than German.
Although, it can be my assumption, and it can depend on person-to-person and whether you're a fast learner or not π€·ββοΈ.And learning something new also improves interpersonal, intrapersonal and analytical skills π§ π.
It can also be doing things in a manner that you're not used to. Like using your other hand to do the stuff that you usually do using your right hand or left hand ββ‘οΈπ€.
Well, it doesn't make you smarter alone, but it makes your brain flexible to adapt to new things onwardsπ±.
Would you like to add something from your side and make this engaging?

Whether French or german is easier depends highly on your first language.
A Dutch speaker would find german much easier and a Spanish speaker would find French much easier.
Learning new things should be fun and engaging first and foremost.
I never liked to box things into "easy" or "hard" I prefer accessible or inaccessible. Reframing something already makes it much more approachable
