BTW English is a very easy language.
And very simple too compared to pretty much all other languages.

Linguists will almost certainly disagree with you on that one.

Why? It really is easy. What's hard about it?

English is a borrowing language. We take so many words from different countries that rules that apply to some words do not apply to others. Also, our grammatical style is very complex, so much that even native speakers talk incorrectly on a day-to-day basis.

Ex)

"Somebody lost their purse." <--Wrong

"Somebody lost her purse." <-- Correct

The main language I speak is french and it's definitely harder than english.

English is a very logical language that has very few exceptions compared to french for instance.

Did you know that each noun has a sex in french?
