English is not taught as well in grade school the way you and I learned it. And for some reason kids don't seem to be able to concentrate on this subject.
Thats funny considering that in America, they are teaching all the students how to speak Spanish, our "new" language.

Start using vowels of Spanish or German instead of english, To make English phonetic..
Because these languages are phonetic not English.Phonetic here means that you can predict the pronunciation from the spelling, and predict the spelling from the pronunciation ...
a modified English language (Simplish) Because Only 100 000 words are useful in life to express ideas .
Make SimplishDictionary , with help of your friends , for children .
They have too study 1000 000 words now .

Italian vowels or Greek or Hindi instead of english for Home > Education & Reference > Primary & Secondary Education
Spellings in english is hard...because so many words have extra letters that you don't need...like through...psycology.
One might also say it's the complex verb system, though - it seems obvious to native speakers, of course, but for non-native speakers it takes a long time to figure out which tense to use when, and many never quite master it.
Its pronunciation, and all the words that sound the same but arent, like see and sea, wander and wonder. it makes it hard to follow ppl sometimes, especially when accents are involved.
In most words that end in "e", the vowel is
long (says it's name) bake, take, fate, smite, home, phone.
The idioms are insanely difficult for others to understand. ("Rains cats and dogs," "see the light," etc.)
English is not as simple as it appears to be become it is a complicated admixture of several European languages, such as- Greek, Latin, French, German, English etc. Thus it possesses approximately 1000 000 words.
There is no doubt about it - English is objectively much harder than Spanish, particularly because of the way it "overworks" its core vocabulary. Look at common verbs like "to take" and "to put" - they can assume a huge number of different meanings. Learning these "phrasal verbs" is a nightmare for all foreign students of English.

The short answer to this question is it is not.

English is the dominant international language in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. A working knowledge of English is required in certain fields, professions, and occupations. As a result over a billion people speak English at least at a basic level (see English language learning and teaching). English is one of six official languages of the United Nations.

It's not. It is still the lingua franca, the common language people can use to communicate wherever they are. No other language comes close to replacing its position now (despite some of the irregularities which make English somewhat difficult to learn).

If you don't believe me, see how far you get going around the world without the use of English. It makes communicating ten times more difficult if you don't know English.
