Seriius question:. How do you compare easy to learn? Afaik, the main thing English has going for it is massive exposure, originally by TV/Hollywood. But if you watch e.g. French or German TV programming long enough, you'll pick up the language soon. I think English succeeded despite its downsides, for geopolitical reasons.
- tharkun__ 3y agoI have one anecdotal piece of evidence: me :) I picked up English very easily despite all the "oh it's all just exceptions". It feels natural even. Latin on the other hand took much more effort. French I never could quite get through. Reading sorta works sometimes given Latin, English and German knowledge. The whole language sorta always feels weird though. Can't bring myself to even try any longer.
