As the title says, this popped into my head while walking to my home being showered with subzero frozen rain.
Modern english is just an creole language of 5 different european languages and made super easy to mix the conflicts between those languages. Thats why its so easy to learn for most people.
At least thats what I’ve always heard from various sources during my 40’sh years on this earth (beginning from our english teacher while I was around 9 years old).
I would argue it’s one of the harder ones. Not the hardest for sure (that title would have to go to Japanese or Chinese, probably), but I would say that it’s significantly harder than the average language
One comment I heard from a native french speaker is that the “dictionary is much larger” than french. Which makes sense because English incorporated many french words.
What would you consider a language that is easier to learn and why?
