Language is so hard. I really only speak one language. English is "easy" not because I actually understand any of the rules but because it's what I was raised with and things just sound right or wrong. Then I try to learn other languages in Duolingo and I'm suddenly hit with all these grammar rules that are a complete mystery to me, things I don't even know how to do in English (except I do, because it "sounds funny" if I do it wrong ... but I don't understand the rule).
