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.
Is English known for being easy to learn?
In comparison to most other languages? Definitely
In my experience and what I heard from other people, yes
(but it’s also from a european perspective)- im, it’s definitely one of the easiest languages to learn (I speak Korean, English, and some Japanese). The fact that there are no gender distinctions or honorifics contributes significantly to its ease.
- The comparative ease also comes from the fact that, since it’s the de facto lingua franca, you simply cannot avoid learning it. It’s also easy to learn in terms of accessibility.
English being the
lingua Franca
is a wild thingEnglish is the <“French language” in Italian> is a pretty strange statement when you think about it.
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).
