[ESAL SPIRIT]

English is an easy language to start learning because:

• it has no genders. Apart from people, all objects are 'neuter', not 'masculine' or 'feminine'. So you say 'it' for such things, and do not need to learn any genders.
  
• it usually has easy verb endings. Apart from a few 'irregular' verbs, verb endings are easy, and hardly change.
  
• adjectives remain the same for all words - there are no different endings to learn.
  
• the singular and plural pronoun 'you' is the same. There is no need to decide whether to use a polite form, or an intimate form, when speaking to someone as in French or German. (English used to have the singular form 'thou', which was often used in the intimate way like 'tu' or 'du'. In fact, in dialects in parts of England, this is still sometimes used. And in the Republic of Ireland, they have a very sensible plural form of 'you', when speaking to several people: 'yous'.)
