    I think English allows you more different ways of doing things than most other languages. The future tense being “going to X” and one of the past tenses being “used to X” means that new English learners don’t need to spend as much time studying yet another verb tense.

    OTOH, the spelling and pronunciation is such a massive hurdle compared to a simple language like Spanish.
