    Yeah, if you understand the basics of the English language. Many English and foreign-English native speakers don’t, and that makes their learning that much more spicy

      I honestly feel bad for anyone who has to learn English as anything other than their first language. I don’t know if there’s any other languages where there are so many exceptions to every rule of pronunciation, spelling, and grammar.

        It’s oddly easy to learn once you’ve got the basics, I haven’t learned a third language but I did start actively communicating in English just by playing Minecraft.

        I suspect it’s because of verbs, you just have two or three words for each verb and just add “-d”, “-ed”, " have" or “had” on them.
        In romance languages conjugations vary depending on context/time, first/second/third person, whether the subject is singular or plurar and their gender.
