Little conjugation to remember and not having to remember genders for objects that can be the opposite of your native language. Indeed, English is quite easy and very widespread so it's hard not to learn it, doesn't mean people won't make mistakes while speaking/writing it obviously but it is easy to get understood. French and Chinese on the other hand ... | ||

I speak English as a second language here and i take nothing but honors and ap after living in the state for a year. It flows easy, and honestly rules and exceptions are easy as balls to pick up, because, chances are if it doesn't sound or look right, it's an exception. A little bit of me dies everytime someone write "dieing". Fucking serious? You can't see anything wrong at all with how that word is spelled? At leash any Asian languages would kick its ass anyday in any way you can think of, easy. | ||

Also, proper English is different enough from colloquial English that it's honestly a lot more complex than you'd think. | ||

Chicago in particular is known for ending sentences with prepositions, which actually just throws shit for a loop in proper English but no one bats an eye because fuck it, you got your point across. Not ending sentences in prepositions is a holdover from Latin grammar. And there it makes lots of sense because your sentence would be fucking gibberish if you ended in a preposition. Applied to modern day English it is a dumbfounding rule, and should serve as a tiny illustration of why 'correct' English is a hilariously difficult language to learn and why most speakers (natives in particular) do not. E: Latin really sucks fyi. | ||
