English classes were always the easiest classes I had in school, but of course it was mostly because they were basic classes

I didn't even pay attention to my teachers and would actually secretly study other subjects like maths or physics during such classes. Most of my friends had a very hard time learning it, but hmmm, it was honestly never that difficult as some made it seem. In my opinion, they just lacked the interest in learning it (they also lacked interest in learning other subjects, not to mention the fact that the english teachers usually seemed really kind to pass the students even if they did pretty bad on the subject....they would always do something to help, so that explained why a lot of people had problems in learning the language as they would never take it seriously).
In university, it's kinda essential that people have at least basic knowledge in english (well at least in medicine it is essential), because we constantly have to read english articles, like the New England Hospital case reports. English is one of the languages that have a lot of material available for learning, different from most of the other languages. You can easily find movies, games, songs, books, articles, there are just way too many fonts you can learn from. I don't really feel sorry for people who have to learn english as their second language at all.
