It's a little twisted to learn, but I grew up speaking the local equivalent to English...American...so I don't find it all that difficult.
The thing I really like about the English language is how willing it is to take words from other languages and incorporate them. It makes it a tremendously dynamic, living language which isn't so tied to a people or a culture that it can't grow.
I love to just read a dictionary. It's like traveling..you see words from all over the world in an English dictionary.

engish is a language that i am forced to learn. But with this, i may get a good job on an intergrating world. 80% letters on over the world is written in english, neglish is a language of commercial and trading.
-I compared english with many other languages . enventually, i find out english is easier than french or spanish.
Example, english has a common noun form, but in french it is divided into 2 sections : masculine and femme.....it is hard for everyone to learn
But i like vietnamese better

It's not bad, I sometimes think it's a shame that we have lost certain grammatical features like the german du/Sie and the french tu/vous...also its grammar is very much like german grammar and most of the vocabulary (I'd say 70% or so) comes from french, latin or german so it's not all that creative...they don't come up with their own words they just take someone else's...not very original is it - infact it's basically a mish- mash of german/french with a few other words sprinkled in...not my fave language to be honest - japanese, korean and chinese are much more interesting grammatically and german uses cases, making it much more free - semantically, than english.
What is your native language by the way?

I was born in Mexico so I had to learn it while I was in Kindergarten. It wasn't so difficult as I thought and I learned it in Half of the Year. In the First and Second grade I went to ESOL classes but I really didn't need them.
