Anglos cannot accept their language is the easiest european one to learn for some reason.

It's actually funny how they try to convince themselves of the complexity of their language, often the only one they know. xD

The only thing I found hard about learning English is that you can't just read the word to know how it's pronounced. I do like to impress Americans with my uncanny capability to tell you the gender of objects.
