english does have some germanic roots, but it also has norse, latin and many others from all the times that we have been invaded in the past. in future centuries, god knows what it will be like
Get what your saying mate, but I found German by far the quickest to grasp (Was very fluent in German, & fair in French) Dabbled with Spanish, & made a half-arsed attempt at Italian but found all far more complex than German.
Italian would be my choice if I had the motivation to learn just one other tounge. A fluid language where the spoken word has a natural flow, hence even the dullest/offensive words/sentence spoken in Italian can sound romantic......
