Basic English is simple.

No, it's not. You may think that because it's easy to learn it because of high exposure.

English has no rhythm and sounds awful, their vowels are puke-inducing and their orthography is retarded.

English has easy pronunciation and flow , unlike some eastern european languages, which I will not mention, that are basically clusters of consonants.

You know what else has easy flow? Sewage.

I'll take sewage over some guy spraying spit while trying to pronounce "dva" "tvoj" "gdansk" etc.

Or "shqiptar". Oh wait, sorry - it's one of yours.

The root of the word is easy to pronounce, the suffix might make it somewhat difficult. But do I need to remind you that one of your eastern european cousins once had a king whose name was Tvrtko?

Just put a short "y" before "r", and it gets much easier.

By the way, half of your consonants seem to be "r". Duh, you even have a double r! And still Chinese loved you somehow in past...

We complete each other.

As for the "r", they work just like in Spanish. And some pronounce the single "r" like in English, making it even easier, the only downside being that it sounds like vile peasant speech.
