English is freakishly easy compared to the intricacies of the French language.
*Really?* That's the first time anyone's ever said that. All I've heard about in my Linguistics classes and have had demonstrated over and over in Grammar is how rule-breaking and renegade the English language is, that I'm lucky to speak if first-hand (well, technically second-hand, but I speak it much better than my native language of Hungarian now) because otherwise, there'd be no hope of getting it right.
Je peux toujours faire un effort et parler Français, pour une fois...
Is it pathetic that I'm proud of having understood that entire sentence? Much obliged for the offer.
