If English is a second language for you, you would not think it's easy. Speaking from experience here . . . while it's Latin based, English has the fewest word abiding rules . . . if I recall.

English is not my native language, and I speak several other languages as well. I think English is the easiest to learn and master. Btw, any language has words that mean different things even though the spelling or pronounciation is exactly the same/similar.
