    to be honest those same quirks apply to English as well…

      as a french who learn english, i confirm french is just an horrible language to learn : too many rules, exception, accent… English is not perfect and could be simplified though.

        well I’m Italian and I think we all see the flaws in our own language. Italian for example is easy to pronounce but has a crazily difficult grammar. English on the other hand has a very easy grammar but an incredibly difficult pronunciation to the point where you have to learn how each single word is pronounced (or spelled) because there are no phonetic rules. French has a bit of both, I guess.
