How do you think what is the main causes of English being so well-spreaded all across the world? Does it have by any chance anything to do with its primitiveness? So that people could easily learn it to get by when abroad? By the way, I've noticed that in order to be fluent in American English you should have to learn no more than just a few words like: like, you know, kinda, yeah, soooo, right. For example, this is the way those primitive americunts communicate: 'hey, hi, I've just like really had AAAIInal sex, it felt so good, YEAAAH, kinda cool, oh oh my god, loot he's so CUUUTE, you Knoooww, like i mean like REALLY, yeah, sooo that's itl, but the came that CrEEP, ugh, so ruuuude like. What a disgusting nation. I, as a Russian, detest you all.

Ever heard of the British Empire?

I think they had chosen this language as a lingua franca on account of its simplicity

Jesus, we know. Your 5"4 "president" gave his entire state of the union address pretty much solely about how buttmad he is about America. We don't care. You should come visit America and see how little we give a shit about your cold, inbred, alcoholism-laden shithole. Oh wait, they probably wouldn't let you in with that passport :/

i don't care about your primitive anal promiscuity culture

for the 19th century it was both due to the great britain and the usa, but french still was kind of lingua franca for most of the century despite english was getting more and more popular

for the 20th century it was due how the usa managed to profiteer on both of the two world wars

>>8074057

nobody ever chooses a lingua franca by simplicity, lol

latin was one and it's a very complicated language, russian is de facto lingua franca for quite a few counties of the former soviet unionand russian is a hard language too, arab language is another hard lingua franca etc

British Empire was really good at being an empire, that's all.

came here to say this -- otherwise one could say that Pyccкий was chossen as the prevailing possition all-across the CCCP for its simplicity.
proof: >>8074076

Also, you as a Russian are basically the same uncultured swine as the Americans that you hate. The only difference is that you дpyзья got the shorter straw of the two in the Cold War and now you butthurt.
Why don't you both retarded countries stop oppressing mainland Europe for a moment and instead come for a vacation and pick up some culture. I know it's hard when you're already an adult and you don't have any cultural habits nor cultural knowledge, but you need to work hard and trust that it'll pay off.


inb4 "Pyccкий literature дpyг!!!". Literally just Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, Per the largest country by area in the world.
One of whom was a self-indulgent autist, and the other a clinically depressed, dissociative schizophrenic. (the real kind, not the Pyccкий нeпpиятeль kind)

I wouldn't say "very complicated"
>>
>>8074040
It depends.
I often skype with /lit/ posters from America and have an evangelical friend from there who came here for a year, all of them speak solid English.
But the evangelical buddy came with others who do speak the primitive like dude awesome language. No anal though.
