I’ve heard it said that English is one of the hardest languages to learn,if not THE hardest.

No wonder! You hear people say “Don’t got no”,”Ain’t got no”, “Where is it at?”,etc.

People trying to learn our language are going to be confused!

well, I attended a crash Polish language course with Erasmus students two years ago and these were folks from ll over Europe and also from Korea, Japan, China, india, bolivia, ethiopia etc. etc.

to them, english is the easiest to pick up as the basic rules are simple. however, to master English (to converse at a P.G. Wodehouse level) takes a lot of effort -- and most people who speak English as a native tongue never reach that level either!
