I like English for the simple fact that our sentences are structured in such a way that the listener knows what's going on up front. Not so with other languages, German, for example.
Mark Twain: Whenever the literary German dives into a sentence, that is the last you are going to see of him till he emerges on the other side of his Atlantic with his verb in his mouth.
