English is flexible and easy to learn
One of the best assets of the English language and why it is so
awesome is its flexibility. It is a huge entity of vocabulary and is
constantly absorbing new words, whilst at the same time seeping
into foreign languages. English contains over 750,000 words. With
so many different words available to describe things, you should
never be short of synonyms. It is also adding hundreds of new
words every year such as ‘blogging’, ‘selfie’ etc... Another reason
why English is so amazing is that there are even new ‘languages’
created from English, such as the numerous creole languages
across the world which developed as a result of colonisation.
English has a simple 26 letter alphabet much like most
European languages. Compared to Latin rooted languages, English
doesn’t have complicated gender grammar rules and much simpler
ways of conjugating verbs into different tenses. So writing essays
and other academic material in English can sometimes be easier
compared to other languages. With a simple structure but evergrowing vocabulary, English has been described as easy to learn
but hard to master.
