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 So ... what are the easiest and hardest languages to learn? To speak with something resembling native fluency?
@dredmorbius I think English and Mandarin Chinese are rated as the most difficult languages to learn by non native speakers. The easiest languages to learn are probably Spanish and Esperanto.

And, yeah. Basque is an interesting case.
