English by far. Crushes everything else. Just look at what we're all typing in.

Well, I have to praise the English system of always using "The" and having a "a/an"-system that actually makes sense.


...but my bias is far too strong. Svenska äger! (Swedish FTW!)


Always using "The" oversimplifies things but its better then the German system where you have "Der" "Die" "Das" (male, female, neutral).  I like the Spanish (latin laguage system) where you have "El" and "La" (male, female).

But English also has an incredibly arbitrary system for prepositions: In, on, for, from, and at are all very hard for non-English speakers to grapple with.


Really? Well, at least I had no problems learning English prepositions. Can't say I have seen others struggling with it either, on noticeable levels.

That's so minor compared to the struggles one has to go through when learning some more complicated languages.

English is very easy in general (compared to most other stuff I've seen), I'll give it a plus for that.

English is the easiest Germanic language and its a lot easier to learn then the second easiest Germanic language German which used to be my native language.  Its also a lot easier then Spanish which I studied for a couple of years.

German and Spanish are generally considered much easier to learn than English though.

Silence. It is damn gold.

French is the sexiest. But a french accent speaking English is even sexier.

In theory maybe, but in reality no way German and Spanish have much more complicated grammar rules then Engish.  Not to mentioned that most words in German and Spanish are a lot harder to pronounce.

And since when the most used translates to the best. Not saying I don't like English, I consider it quite flat and lacks the rich of the romance languages, but it serves it porpose as a global language as it's quite easy to learn. But well of course, this is my opinion.
