I think it's alright, I think to non-Americans it might sound nice and exotic(which it really isnt)

English is perhaps one of the most complicated languages to learn because of the antiquated pronouns (ox/oxen, child/children), the odd verb business (go/went, am/is) and who they heck could figure out pronouns on their own? I'm really grateful to be a native English speaker. The more I know about other languages, with their orderly conjugations and declensions, the more I appreciate the work that ELL people have to do.

impressive! it is advantageous to ascertain that somebody appreciates the language. at present it is all too straightforward to bump into misspelling, 'textual content fabric-communicate' and destructive grammar. the day previous to this on Breakfast television a woman from the English Grammar society (or some such) grew to become into espousing the dumbing down of our spelling because of the fact with each and all the misspelling, each physique is obviously looking the language complicated!

It's a bit boring. Luckily, I speak a foreign language and I can resort to that when I don't feel like speaking in English.

English *can* be a nice language. It just depends upon the person speaking (or writing). We run into difficulty when there is too much slang used & the context gets lost.

Thanks for asking! : )

It's a good language with a large vocabulary.

Americans also have accents; everyone does. But, if you're used to the local one, you don't notice it.

Well, thats because you're so used to speaking it. But I hate it because of the specific rules and the slang used in it. MAkes it sound trashy. I like French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. They're all so beautiful!

Also, English is in the Top 3 hardest languages to learn because of our rules of grammer, spelling, and a ton of stuff. Along with like chinese and some other one!

It's ok, but I would hate to try to learn it as a 2nd language. It's hard enough to learn if you grow up speaking it, it must be crazy to try to learn.

Not at all. I like it.
I don't think it sounds exotically.
