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.

I'm trilingual, acquiring English in elementry school, Hebrew and Russian being mother tongues.
I would say that learning-wise, English is in the middle between the other two. One of the ways to objectively think of the difficulty of a specific language is asking oneself: how many exceptions to rules are there?

English has its fair amount; Hebrew - almost none (since it wasn't spoken for nearly two millenia and only recently artificially revived); Russian - a fuckton. In fact, that's one of the reasons it's considered to be the 3rd hardest language to learn (after Chinese and Japanese).

In conclusion, saying such things about English is simply not accurate. How many languages do you know? 2? 4? To accurately answer such a thing one would need to be a major polyglot, with at least 8 languages of different kinds (one asian, one Indo- european, one middle- eastern etc). I direct you to the University nearest to you, linguistics dept.
