Talk:Becoming a Linguistic Mastermind/The courses/Workshop

I think the primary reasons English is easy to learn are: Latin derivations may be a reason but definitely not before those. Currently I'm learning Latin and the only things in my way are the lack of speakers/literary texts aimed at beginners, and the inflection of words. -- 203.171.192.197 (talk) 01:57, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) There are already a large portion of English speakers worldwide, foreign or not;
 * 2) It lacks a case systems in nouns (excluding pronouns), and verb conjugation is a lot simpler to memorize and adapt to (ratio is 1:50 for some!)
 * 3) It has a fairly flexible word order (there are more flexible ones, but those are because they have cases to allow it)
