@englishbot has had enough of learning English

Learning can be difficult, especially when it’s poorly constructed: like English.

It’s a specific dialect of German: Anglish. This was heavily mixed with Gaulish languages. And was brought to the British Isles where it was again influenced by Gaelic influences. It adopted a lot of Scandinavian influences from the Vikings. And when the Roman Empire invades, English was heavily bastardized by a more Romantic sentence and grammar structure, often adopting Latin roots and phrases. As England became more powerful on a world stage, through war and imperialism: it stole many words, dialects and phrases from its enemies and colonies. America and Australia too grew and expanded. Long periods of segregation developed even more differences in language. However, with the introduction of mass communication, the internet, and globalization. Much of English’s dialects are being melded back together. This does not negate all the various mutilations it has gone through; in fact, it probably exacerbated them.

Education is hard. Learning is difficult. And it doesn’t help if the textbook was a cross between a mosaic and a collage, written in code. But with time; effort; and a good, understanding support system, you can learn it.
