As the title says, this popped into my head while walking to my home being showered with subzero frozen rain.

Modern english is just an creole language of 5 different european languages and made super easy to mix the conflicts between those languages. Thats why its so easy to learn for most people.

    1. im, it’s definitely one of the easiest languages to learn (I speak Korean, English, and some Japanese). The fact that there are no gender distinctions or honorifics contributes significantly to its ease.
    2. The comparative ease also comes from the fact that, since it’s the de facto lingua franca, you simply cannot avoid learning it. It’s also easy to learn in terms of accessibility.
