At least we have an alphabet... languages based on pictographs (Chinese, Japanese etc) require a lot of effort to learn, albeit through memorization. This is such that you might be considered a learned person knowing 2000-4000 characters, whereas to have a decent English vocabulary one would need many times that in words. English is also more simple in terms of conjugation than many romance languages, such as Spanish and French, which require different verb conjugations for different paired nouns. |
