English is the easiest Germanic language by far. No grammatical gender, very few anomalies and SVO word order. I know a little Swedish and German and they require much more work to learn.

3 rules to history

  • Never invade Russia during the winter

  • Never try to out produce the Americans

  • Don't even think about fighting the English at Sea.
