What is your relationship like with the English language?

As a native English speaker, I am curious to hear how other people feel about the English language. Some key questions that come to mind are:

• Do you like having English as something of a universal language to aid communication between cultures?

• Do you have any reservations about the prevalence of English in modern life?

• Did you find English to be a relatively easy language to learn? Why or why not?

• Are there any characteristics of English compared to your native language that you like or don’t like? Such as the lack of grammatical gender, lack of formal “you” etc.
