FlagOnce Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 It is often told that French has a more various vocabulary than English. Can't talk about other languages because I don't know much what people thinks of the vocabulary compared to French, but what I can tell is that the vocabulary influences how you will learn the language and its complexity. Because, a rich vocabulary, it's basically means two things:Many words who shares the same meanings (synonyms)Some words have a more precise meaning that what you would use in English, where you would rather use multiple words to convey the meaning.Doesn't matter the reason, it is harder to deal with a richer vocabulary. First thing: do you really think it is an benefit? For the learner, for the language, and for how it affects the learning?The second thing: do we have really a more rich vocabulary than English? Compare two books, one in English, one in French, do you find many differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
