English is a tricky language (from a French point of view). It seems easy enough to learn compared to French, and yes, it does lack the pesky silent letters we have, and then... You realize that between accents, and letters combinations, etc., while it's easy to speak broken English, it's actually hard to speak good English :)
@jenesuispasgoth English is what happens when German and French mate, and their child grows up to rob Welsh of all of its spare vowels.
@BasqueInGlory ha! That's a very accurate description :D
