My first language is Chinese. English and Chinese have many significant differences. This makes learning English a serious challenge for Chinese native speakers. So when i compare English and Chinese, there are lot of different things between them, such as different grammar, alphabet, phonology and even the vocabulary. But I think the biggest difference is grammar and vocabulary. Here, I will just talk about vocabulary. English has a number of short verbs that are very commonly combined with participces to form what are know as phrasal verbs. For example, take on and give in. this kind of phrase does not exist in China. I have a lot of problems with these so i avoid using them. So i think i have a lot of work to build my vocabulary. It may take a long time.

fox i agree with your opnion that some verb of english is totally different with the verb of chinese, even, we ever saw some verbs of english before. Moreover i think the way of talking between different culture are different. For example, when make a joking by the way of our own languge style, which is difficult for those other country's people to ger to know what is so funny
