Teaching my daughter English at home and doing homework with her in Hebrew I have to say, English sucks. No consistant rules, everything is a special case, no consistancy in conjugating, English just plain sucks. I am so glad she's learning now and can have it as a native language and not have to figure it out later. If it wasn't lingua franca I'm not sure I would push her as hard to get English right.

@efraim I agree with this so much. I wonder if there are studies done on the comparative consistency of grammar across languages.
