By the way I’m teaching some students English as a side job during the summer, and their biggest concern seems to be pronunciation. I am a member of a website, though, where that’s not always the case. I’m making documents to help people for whom English is not their native language, and I was wondering what the hardest part of learning English is or was for you, if English is not your mother tongue.
What was the most difficult part of learning English?
