English can certainly be difficult! It can understood through tough thorough thought though throughout the learning process.

English is the most adaptable language in the world. England got colonised something like seven different times up until the mediaeval age. The language that came out of the end of that process is precision designed to accommodate unfamiliar words and grammar. There's no better language to put a loanword into. And it's really easy to invent new grammar for English, which is why English has the most neopronouns.

English has sacrificed its logic and structure to grow fluidity.
