Actually, almost all languages have words from other languages. I noticed that when I was studying English, and noticed again now that I'm studying Japanese. Japanese seems pretty hard for most people because of the writing, but it's not very hard when you are studying vocabulary (Maybe it if if you only know how to speak english, since english doesn't use "r" sounds as Japanese and other languages (Portuguese, for example) does.cocney wrote:I think that my sister told me that Croats from middle Croatia have very good predispositions to learn all other languages. I think that Slavic languages are very hard to learn for western people but western languages are easy for Slavics. All western languages have a lot words from Latin and that makes them very similar and easy to learn.
But that applies to some words in PT, too. One rule of PT language is that every word starting with an R will have the /H/ sound (e.g. 'Rápido' = 'Ha-pee-doe'. Rápido means fast. In Japanese, I think it would be read as 'ラーピド', 'Raapido').
