It is NOT simpler than most other languages!

I think it is simpler than most other languages, because I am used to watch so much english TV, and then it just get's easier, because you are used to hear it. Because I'm a dane, then we also have subtitles, wich makes it easier to translate. Not like in germany where the voices are different. I am glad, that it's not like that here, because then I would'nt probably be so good at english, as I am now. Of course we have danish television of our own, but many things at tv are english...Not news or something, just tv shows...That's the reason I am used to it...

I'm English so I'm partially just used to it, but I also think it is simpler because there are no genders, not so many changes for different cases and the majority of verbs are easy.

it is actually more complicated than other languages because there are so many exceptions to the rules

I study English but I don't like it...I need it

I'm used to English I hear it a lot on tv and stuff, and almost everone can speak (a little0 English so it's helpful

I don't like the subject "English Language" though, Literature is better than Language because i am used to Novels and poems...

It's amazing really how many foreign people can speak English really well. I've been learning French since I was 11 and I did 2 years of German and I'm still not that good. Do other countries teach English from an earlier age?

English is not my mother tongue but i learned it very fast!
and Ratdog we started learning English when i was around 10 yrs old if i remember well!
and i am learning German now for 4 years and i am stil not good at it! i can learn the rules and everything but i just dont understand German while i never had any trouble with English!

Yes they begins teaching english here in gradeschool.

I'm addicted to the English language. If I was fluent in others, I would love them too, because I LOVE WORDS. They are my heroin. I love using words in any form.

Well, i loved English since i've startes learning it! I hope i'm able to communicate with others...

Because I love it and it's very useful :)

so right ;)

It's just sexy! looool

well i'm sorry but i think english is such an ugly language
i'm just learning because it's the most popular language but i don't like it...i prefer french it's much better

I respect that pretty_angel92. Even though It's not my favorite language.

English is not simple. Not correct English.

The person who added this option captured exactly my opinion on English.

I love the language and even when I´m not very good speaking,I can understand when someone talks to me

I JUST LOVE ENGLISH <3

Yeah, my birth language sounds so stupid, do you know how sounds German? Like "I´m big and fat 50 years old guy with moustache" (I´m sorry Germans). And Czech sounds the same, maybe little "more fat". Oh. Thanks God for House M.D., because actually I´m teaching English because of Hugh´s Laurie perfect voice :)

It´s hard to make stuff sound good in Norwegian or Icelandic (Those are both sorta my first languages) Freeze, Assholes: Ikkje rör dykk, gutar! (Hope no norwegian people read that, I probably misspelled it :S)
Icelandic: I´m one of those overly fakehappy people serving the food on airplanes!
Norwegian: I´m a strikt teacher from the 1950´s, SIT DOWN! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! YOU´RE IN BIG TROUBLE!! NO EXCUSES!!! GO TO DETENTION!!! NOW!!!
English: I´m hot!
English with british accent: I´m hotter and you want to melt to the ground and listen to me talk forever.
English with australian accent: When I talk you just wanna curl up in my lap and make me whisper in your ear forever.
English with a tastefull mix of british and australian accents: *orgasm*

*Cough* AHEM, I did NOT write that *Hides*

It's things like this that frustrates me about the English education system. I was only ever taught English at Primary School. When I reached Secondary School I learnt French for 3 years and Spanish for 4 but have learnt either well enough to be able to communicate well enough in either country. I am able to speak about my favourite school subjects but how is "I like my Geography teacher, he explains well" in Spanish going to help me when I am in Madrid.
In so many countries English has to be taught from a very young age and therefore can be spoken fluently, however there is no pressing NEED for British people to learn another language, apparently - although I believe that it is an impressive quality, and therefore I also dislike the English language.

..its important coz its the international language..you can communicate to english countries and to the countries who speak english as the second language...

The voices in the tv-shows are much better, in german it sounds really not good thats why I learn more and more english so I can understand it better and better and its also usefull for school english :D

...the only language I feel a 100% comfortable with while speaking! ...and it is not even my mother tongue!

I mainly got to love English because I love Harry Potter so much and the original book and movie versions are just so much better. But I also agree with many other reasons mentioned here, like the internationality.

:)

It's quite useful because st people speak it, you can pretty much use it wherever you go.

Mother tongue
