I learned English as a second language.
Pro:
- It's simplicity. No complex conjugation, no mile-long words, simple syntax
- Easily learnable pronounciation. You only need to know a few rules and you can pronounce almost everything.
- Same with writing.
Contra:
- Way too much tenses. In my native language we have only 3: past, present and future. In English, sometimes it's hard to determine which tense to use
Other than that, I thing English is an easily learnable and practical language and you can use it everywhere.
I tried to learn German too, but I hate those long words where you put 3 or more words together. They're just unpronounceable.
