ugh..... english isn't hard phonetically because of the consonant clusters as the lady says. Many languages (russian and hindu for example) have much more complex consonant clusters.
Sure, the english 'th' sounds (both voiced and unvoiced) is hard for those who do not speak a language that does no use that sound (english inherited it from the norse).
but to say that english speakers develop their brain more than others because of the difficulty?? well.... fuck your prejudices.
@cloneofbogart I totally agree with you, but Hindu isn't a language...it's Hindi.

Good old phonics. I wonder how many generations of people have been retarded in their ability to read because of the "whole language" fad.
