    I’ve never heard anyone saying English is hard. The only hard part of English is the pronunciation, because it doesn’t make sense, you just have to know all the words…

    It’s wide adoption has probably been helped by the ease of learning its basics.

        Nah. If I say “I thinked” instead of “I thought”, I’m pretty sure you’re going to understand me anyway. And with the written form you don’t have problems with stuff like “read-read” or “colonel”.

      To my surprise, I have heard a lot of French people say English is easy to learn.

          Because we barely pronounce anything compared to Romances
