Why is it that I always read the same question and the same answers. How can you say English it's the trickiest language, or the easiest one? or is that lazyness is the cause for slang in English?
Everyone thinks that his/her own language is the trickiest, the most difficult , the one with more slang... What happens is that as an English speaker, you know a lot more than non native speakers about its nuances, its slang, its tricky features. But you don't know so deeply other languages, and then you think others are more simple. Or maybe, as you know yours since childhood, you think others are more difficult.
But all in all, more or less all languages have the same complexity, otherwise there would be cultures in which children would acquire their spoken languages before others, or after others. And that's not the case. Writing is another question.
Well, I read, write, and speak in both Russian and English-My mother is totally rusian, and my dad is totally english, but I think that even though english is a totally screwed up and whacked language, it is a tiny bit easier that the russian language. Both are my native tounge, 50%-50% each. Split. Even check out my name. Partly Russian. Hows that for a comparison?
