English takes no skill to speak.

Seriously, some of the dumbest people in the world speak it. It takes no skill to speak. Whereas other languages such as Русский, Español, Tiếng Việt, 日本語, 汉语, 한국어 and several others require skill. I'm sick of hearing this comment about how English is one of the most difficult languages in the world. It's the easiest. Anglophones are also some of the most ignorant and obnoxious people in the world.

Ok, perhaps I was wrong. But are they not in the same language group, like how English, French, Spanish, German and such are quite similar?

And relatively speaking, they may not be similar when compared to each other. However, when you compare them to languages on a broader base, one might notice more similarities between them, however small.

Yes, I know that if one is properly taught the differences, one will know how to use them the correct way. However, apparently many people aren't taught the correct way or they didn't pay enough attention. It's because those words are so phonetically similar that the confusion arises in the first place.
