The Hardest Language to Read

THIS IS MF DOOM The Hardest Language to Read Languages like Hebrew, Arabic חמור meaning a sculpture. This word can be pronounced "chamor," perfect /ˈpərfəkt/ If you wanna be perfect, you need to perfect your craft. shower /ˈʃou.ər/ on your resume. You won't be a shower minute /ˈminət/ focusing on each minute detail. Polish /ˈpɒlɪʃ/ whether they be in French or in Polish wound /ˈwaʊnd/ wound /ˈwuːnd/ linguistic wound that's physically stopping you, wind /ˈwaɪnd/ wind /ˈwɪnd/ Wind it up before it all blows in the wind.

A bearded man sits on a park bench and explains why languages without written vowels are difficult to read. The video becomes a rapid chain of pronunciation-based puns involving words such as “perfect,” “shower,” “minute,” “Polish,” “wound,” and “wind.” The joke is the increasingly strained wordplay and the contrast between the serious language lesson and the absurd final insult and punchline.

Languages like Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi are notoriously difficult languages to read because they have no written vowels. Well, they do, but outside of children's books, dictionaries and some religious texts, they're very rarely used. For example, this word can be pronounced as a pasal as in a sculptor or a pessell, meaning a moh, as in a donkey or a hamul, meaning very, very serious. Now, this might lead you to wonder how on earth can anyone know how to pronounce anything with absolutely no vowels to tell them how to read the words. The truth is, if you want to know how to read correctly, you need to have read a lot. If you want to be perfect, you need to perfect your craft. If you want to contract with reading skills, you need to sign a sort of contract with yourself, which you can always resign if you ever choose to resign. Now, let me put this on the record as I support that if at any point you choose not to resume, well, then this won't be something you'll be able to put on your resume. You won't be a shower and shower your friends with your literacy. No neat clothes will be tied. No vows will be taken. But if you do, then you will see your skills soar into the skies like skis off the mountain. Now I know it might seem like you have to concert all of your energy just to memorize a concert of vowels, spending every single minute focusing on each hand my new detail, and you'll think of your peers who made every single excuse to excuse themselves, but you're not your peers. Those don't just do as the buck does, and neither will you. You'll just do it. Do it live, as you live. Polish your reading skills, whether they be in French or in Polish. Don't be afraid to grow number and number as your mistakes. Grow in number, becoming as common as a bass or as glaring as a stand-up bass. Because if you desert your practice, leaving it stranded in an unused desert, you'll wonder how you round up with this linguistic wound that's physically stopping you, as if it's literally scarring and growing pussy. You know why? It's because you're a pussy. Too afraid to make a mistake. If you want to use it, you have to make use of it. So just practice. Wind it up before it all blows away.
