Hey! It’s easy to learn english!

Think English Is Hard to Learn? Think Again!

If you’ve tried learning English and given up, thinking it’s “too hard,” I’m here to tell you the truth: English is much easier than you think—especially compared to Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian, German, etc.! Probably, you’ve been building up this mental block, but let’s break it down together and prove why English is the simplest path to speaking a new language.

1. Two Verb Tenses vs. More Than 15

Most languages have an overwhelming 15+ verb tenses, all with endless conjugations. In English, guess what? You only have to worry about two tenses: past and present. The future? English doesn’t even have a “future tense” as a verb form! You just add simple words like “will” or “going to,” and you’re set.

2. No Verb Conjugations

Think about all the times you’ve wrestled with other languages’ verbs. English skips all that. One verb form fits all subjects:

• I speak.
• You speak.
• He speaks (okay, we add an ‘s’ for he/she/it, but that’s it!).

That’s right—no memorizing endless conjugation tables.

3. Only 3 Aspects

Instead of drowning in grammar rules, English simplifies your life with just three core aspects:

• Simple (I work).
• Continuous (I am working).
• Perfect (I have worked).

These aspects cover everything you need to express actions, making English grammar refreshingly straightforward.

4. No Accents or Tricky Rules

Most languages demand precision with accents: is it “avô” or “château”? In English, there’s no such drama. Words are free from accents, leaving you with one less thing to stress over.

5. Latin Roots You Already Know

English vocabulary borrows heavily from Latin, just like Portuguese and Spanish. Words like “family,” “information,” and “problem” are practically identical in both languages. You’re not starting from scratch—you already know hundreds of English words!

6. Modalities Are Super Simple

Need to express probability or permission? Just use a modal verb like can, must, should, or might. These are fixed words—no conjugations, no surprises. For example:

• You can do it.
• It might happen.

That’s it. Easy, right?

7. Auxiliaries Make Sentences a Breeze

In other languages, forming negatives or questions involves rearranging words and adding equivalents of “not”. In English, you just rely on auxiliary verbs like do or does:

• Positive: I work.
• Negative: I do not work.
• Interrogative: Do I work?

It’s simple and consistent — no guesswork involved.

8. The Most Standardized Language in the World

English is the world’s most widely spoken and standardized language. Resources for learning are endless, pronunciation varies only slightly, and its simplicity makes it universally accessible. It’s designed to be learned, used, and shared.

The Truth: You’ve Overcomplicated It

If you’ve struggled with English in the past, the problem isn’t the language — it’s how you’ve been approaching it. With fewer tenses, no conjugations, simple sentence structures, and Latin-based vocabulary you already recognize, English is far easier than you’ve been led to believe.

You’ve got this. The “hard” part is just a myth. Don’t let past attempts stop you from conquering the language that opens doors around the world!
