The difficulty of English for stran-
gers does not lie in its photography.
but in its pronunciation. Abroad, peo-
pie will constantly say that they can
read and write English readily while
unable to utter word or to under
stand word Of the spoken language:
as. OF course, vice versa. a great many
English and Americans can read and
write French long before they can
understand, or make themselves un-
derstood; the other languages are
just as difficuit for them to pronounce
as English is for others. The only
difference is that English stands alone
with its system or lack of system. of
pronunciation. When a Frenchman
knows how to write German, he is at
the same time able TO speak the lam
guage, If not beautifully. at least SO
