The sentence “sometime me cry alone at night” is grammatically incorrect. The sentence could be “sometimes I cry alone, at night” or “I cry alone at night sometime”. The pronoun me is used instead. "I" is mostly used at the beginning of a sentence.
I can speak both for myself and others learning a new language as I experienced it myself. I have also seen many of my family members experienced learning a new language. In the beginning I couldn’t grasp the reason why the people around me couldn’t learn another language especially when it came to pronunciation. I wouldn’t even understand it even when it was me experiencing the same situation would tell myself that “why is it so hard to pronounce words like the people around me even though I have studied this new language”. I thought once you had the rules and structure of a language, you were all set. However, now I have come to realize that even though this may be the case, learning a language may be hard at times. Phonology causes an individual to sometimes hear differently than what he has read so everything becomes just a little more complicated. The sounds of each language differ which tend to cause confusion for someone who is learning. Phonology comes hand in hand with morphology. They both deal with the words structure, speech sounds. These specific aspects of a language differ very much from language to language. The grammar and syntax probably cause a great deal of confusion for people learning a new language as the grammatical rules for each language differ. That’s why when I think of a person learning a new language now I understand that it certainly isn’t an easy task.
