I personally think English is easy, but there are some irregular constructions and idiomatic elements that aren’t very logical. The present perfect is somewhat abstract and takes a lot of practice and desire to master as well.

he goes = hy gaan
he went = hy het gegaan
he looked = hy het gekyk
(much more regular with the go verb)

The great thing about it is the sounds. Their are really only a handfull of things that really differ in writing. But No matter what usually you can use the sound of each letter to read. As you read then you find that you notice things and after correcting yourself here and their you just begin to memorize the simple rules. Like e makes a capital when ending, the sound of ei. And once you have that, hell your set son.

If you can memorize the alphabet Your 3 quarters done. The last comes with with reading practice. Not sure about the south though? Doesn’t ur brain just compensate automatically when you here a vowl sounded a different way? Hell I can even understand the mexicans that go a mile a minute in english.

And you don’t even have to say English any right way. That’s the beauty of it. It can even be half broken up sentences and it still sounds fine. You just sound like one of the backwater off city downtown people. I think the only time you can’t understand English is in 2 situations.

1. if a real Scott is talking to you. (That shit gets slurry)
2. If a Chinese person who never really learned in the first place is trying. (Not japs, they do just fine, some even nail the pronunciations.) Chinese kids have no problem cause they learned, not the older adults though.

Spanish is extremely easy to READ even if you do not have a clue as to what the word means.
French is extremely easy to SPEAK once you get your tongue muscles trained.
Spanish is sort of easy to WRITE as it is written as it sounds.

Why is English easier than Spanish? In a college setting where special emphasis is given to “verb conjugations”, “personal pronouns” and constantly changing adjectives, English is easier than Spanish for the language learning student. Spanish Speakers have difficulty with the English letters “r” and “y”. English students have difficulty with the Spanish letters or combination of letters “r, rr, ll, ch, d, v”.

The phonetics of Spanish is easier. In English, the following sound a like: (red, read); or (reed, read, reid); or (ryde, reid); or ….. (see, C, sea); or (you, u); (by, bye); (two, to, too) and so on.
