  • Rita Moreno is an absolute treasure. She is truly one of the all times greats. What a beautiful, dignified woman.

  • Your title is completely wrong. It is personal and misleading because you do not understand. The Brits would tell you that you do not know how to speak English properly. They should know.

  • Amazing in HBO's 'OZ".

  • @nathann2746 By contrast, there isn't much help from anything learning English except experience because it isn't even consistent in the inconsistency of the rules. A lot depends on context to determine spelling or pronunciation which hard because even simple words can have many different unrelated meanings. EG my German friend got confused with the word "left"- left hand, he left, left over, left out, left it there - when he knew opposite of "right" (which can mean correct, exactly,or... )

  • @nathann2746 Actually English is commonly recognized as a particularly difficult language to learn as a second one, specifically because of, as she mentions "so many rules made to be broken... sometimes." English is far more inconsistent than other tongues and borrows from many which makes its structure unique and eclectic. Romance languages have nearly identical structure and even similar vocabulary so its easier to learn French if you already know Spanish or vice versa.

  • The title is totally misleading. She just said that English is a difficult language to learn which is a pretty common comment from anyone whose native language is not English. It's just like native English speakers that say "Ugh, Spanish is such a difficult language to learn!"

  • She looks like a milf

  • @Janemas

    The title is indeed misleading, but the notion that British English is somehow more proper is as ridiculous as would be a claim that the German Angles were the only people who spoke the language correctly. (The Angles who moved to the British Isles were *emigrants*.) At this stage, the significance of British English is primarily historical (like that of the Angles), and American and Indian English are far more significant as *living* language.

  • @RealityDefenseLeague  Indeed.

  • @bandstandmike I remembered her as Anita in A West Side Story and Carmen Sandiego.

  • let me finish her sentence from the start of this clip."after you get off your fat ass and get behind the camera"
