Not really, croatian is my mother tongue, and that's a slavic language. But I admit, it would be a lot harder, I think, to keep this attitude if the language of our profession was a language more complicated than english. We can consider ourselves lucky in this regard.

But you are right that within the Indo-European language family English does not seem to be one of the more complicated languages. Which might have something to do with its origins as a pidgin of French, Anglo-Saxon, Frisian and Danish.
