Language is interesting. Most of the time, regardless of who in the world you talk to, you will find a resonating agreement: English can be the worst. However, contrary to what many people seem to believe: English is one of the easiest languages in the entire world to learn! Native English speakers in the United States may not always be super great at mastering the simple language, but on a global perspective it's quite easy.

Case in point? We have a lot of simple words that in other languages... are very, very different. They're so different it's to the point of being hilarious what the literal translations come down to. Have a look for yourself:

If the Spanish can have fingers on their feet... then the Germans can have shoes on their hands.
