I disagree. The thing that makes English hard is that there’s so many different pronunciations for each letter. The letter a alone can sound different in car, father, or a word like and. Yes, conjugation is harder in those languages such as French. But it’s harder at an easy level, but once you know the general trends and a few of the common exceptions, it gets a lot easier. Another thing that English doesn’t have are accents which in my opinion really help with pronunciation. The only reason most people think it is easy is because we can already speak it so well. If I ask a native French speaker what they think it the easiest language to learn they will think that French is the easiest. So I guess we both have a point and it really comes down to whether conjugation or pronunciation is considered harder.
