“Though I can counter that those exceptions also have reasons for example I believe the past tense of bring is brought since it is of germanic origin past tense being bracht or someting like that which in Engligh became brought much like nacht became night.”

That really wouldn’t help someone learning to speak English, unless he already knows German.

I think that is actually the reason that English is so confusing – the fact that it is based on so many different languages.

As opposed to Lashon Hakodesh which came straight from Hashem.

I agree with you Golfer that Hebrew is much easier to learn than english is. I don’t remember from when I learned to read, but I have taught kids to read both languages and I found it much easier to teach hebrew.
