Cool thread

I speak Dutch, English and German. And some French, but French is very difficult for me to learn. Those verbs make me go nuts like the verb 'to be':
je suis
tu es
ille est
nous sommes
vous etes

or something like that.

And someone said that English has a different langauge structure, namely Celtic.
I think that might be true, I really think that English stands somewhat apart from the other germanic languages.
For example, when I was little I didnt understand anything when I heard someone speak English but when I was on vacation to Sweden and Norway I could understand what people were talking about after some time while never having heard those languages before.
