How hard was it to learn the "beatlessness" and "uncrispness" of English. Compared to Japanese we seem to slur sounds together, and as a result we have very uneven pacing. It's difficult not to make dipthongs when speaking Japanese - "ne" vs "nay" etc (though listening to Natsuko makes it much easier), but it must be even harder the other way around. Or is that one of the easier parts of learning English? What was most difficult? I'm getting really curious. I have a question for the Japanese English speakers.

I had missed that 聞こえる was already a potential form as well as passive. :grin: Miqueさん、

I've come back after a week's absence. Alan-san, 聞こえる and 聞く are different verbs because they have their own conjugation respectively. 聞こえる; 聞こえない・聞こえて・聞こえれば・・・ 聞く;聞かない・聞いて・聞けば・・ So the passive form of 聞く is 聞かれる . 聞こえる has the meaning of passive and potential in itself. It's very confusing to explain their differences in detal. I can just show you some expamples, how to use those two verbs. 私にはその音が聞こえる。 (I can hear the sound.) 虫の声が聞こえる。 (The sound of bugs can be heard.) その音が聞かれる。 (The sound is heard.) 私たちの話が聞かれる。(Our chat is heard.)
