Man, I would hate to have to learn English.I mean, I did. But if I didn't already speak it, it would really suck to learn.
Just look at this: through, though, cough, laugh, tough. They're pronounced throo, tho, coff, laff, tuff.
Whoever decided the spelling for these words was bonkers.
And while I'm at it, ya know what else is bonkers? The Imperial(or English) measurement system.
12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 5280 feet in a mile. Seriously, who came up with these numbers!?
And why does the US still use this? Everyone else uses the Metric System, because it's infinitely superior. Everything is based on 10. A nice, even 10.

As a French I actually like English, it's so much simpler than French. Yeah it's richer than English but that just make it harder to learn: For example, let's use the word "do":
How do you do? ==> Comment tu vas?
Can you do it? ==> Es-ce que tu peux le faire?
What do you mean? ==> Qu'es-ce que tu veux dire?
Yep, one word in English, but 6 differents words in French depending of the sentence. And there's so many others examples like that.
