My nephew is 6 years old, and he's been learning Spanish in his classes.  Wifey says that he is better at Spanish than she is, even though she did like 5 years of Spanish in school.  

Yeah I hear that its subtle things like that which make English a baby to learn how to speak. Learning to read/ write it is a lot easier.

The big thing that my step mum complains about is the different pronunciations of the same chains of letters. Like why does adding an s in front of laughter make it sound like slaughter?
I'm pretty glad I'm a native English speaker.  Don't even have to think about most of these things.
