Cobra1010 01/17/21 12:18:27 AM #1:	The grammar is all over the place. Even native English speakers get them wrong. There are more exceptions than rules. If the brits didn't sail around the world colonising and stealing shit from half the world. English wouldn't be universal language What do you think would be a better for universal language? German? Arabic? I have no clue but I'm sure as hell that English is one of the worst. I hope multilingual users on here can tell me. --- Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan!

SPE 01/17/21 12:35:13 AM #8:	German has a really high learning curve and long ass words. french has a shitload of exceptions. portuguese is funny Spanish. that leaves us with English, Spanish, and Italian. english is simple when compared to languages such as German or even Spanish (eg English has you and Spanish has tu, usted and vosotros) but its not phonetic. You really cant know how a word sounds in English just by reading it. Spanish has the HUGE advantage that it is phonetic. If you can learn how the letters sound you can know how words sound just by reading them. But verb conjugation in Spanish is painful as fuck. that leaves us with Italian. Its sexy, suave, and simple.
