English is certainly unique and has had the help of many other languages too.

Try teaching English as a second language to foreign students. It's really interesting.

I still remember a good friend from Japan asking me why Americans say it's raining cats and dogs. I couldn't give him an answer.

I find history of words interesting. Doing Genealogy quite a few times I look up the meaning of surnames.

It is interesting. We learned Russian for a Russian piece we were singing in my choir. They have a sound where your tongue is turned over. My grandie always corrects my French pronunciation, too!

i've seen something like this before - very entertaining and makes sense why it's sometimes difficult to learn it.
