It's not like they were that hard to kill, poisoned arrows from dual enchanted ebony bow in some +archery damage gear, and they were dropping like flies even on hard difficulty.
For fun when in Thailand have some one ask where you are going in Thai.
Reply in English 'here' but with an Australian accent it sounds like heeya, which in Thai means cunt.
And watch the Thais around you freak out because they just heard some one ask a westerner where they were going and got called a cunt.
Could be worse, I could have said 'ahh here' which would have sounded like 'aheeya' which means 'you fucking cunt'.
The end result of all this is, I now pronounce the word 'here' like an American.

Probably all of the accents (far more than Spanish). Plus I'm not sure about French, but in Spanish each vowel only makes one sound so you have to be either retarded or have a speech impediment to mispronounce words in Spanish.
Why is that?
Isn't icelandic just basically old norse, which is a germanic language?
I have only one person who wasn't native and used Polish better than 99% of native speakers. I was shocked to learn he learned it being 30+ and used it mainly for his lecturers on philosophy. I used to seat on these lessons trying to catch fucker on grammar but he did not make a single mistake. Lets call him X.
He was German and for that I assumed German people has some special language abilities unknown to the rest. I then started to read Dresden's posts and realized X, the language master philosophy professor may exist only thanks to Dresden's inability to master even his native language so balance can exist.
For someone's comment on Polish being retarded for being so complex - it's partially true. There are many factors which decide why language keeps its form or not - simplicity is not the only one. If we would prefer easy languages Esperanto should be in global use.
Other thing is how difficulty of languages had been measured. Typical Polish citizen uses around 300 words to communicate daily. To some degree You may communicate without knowing grammar and be understood (like in most of languages).
Also, how many of you know English has been simplified in the past?

one of reasons for polish to be so complicated is to make *sure* person talking to u is polish not some spy from germany
mainly all stuff that in currentl world districts nations [like electricity cable plugs] is due to security/military actions.
who knows, maybe ages ago polish was also made this way for that reason.
I have a few Chinese friends who do this and never realized that was why. Thanks for the insight!
I think it depends on what's your mother tounge. I would guess if you are a native russian speaker it is easier to learn polish than if you are a french native..
For example, german people usually don't really get how to pronouce a th correctly. I think a spanish native does not have this problem, because they are used to it. I know that's more for the orally side of course.

"Hardest" from the perspective of a native English speaker? Otherwise it's all very subjective depending on what your native language is.
