Ciao.  I&#x27;m a student of Italian philology, and I do find your comment interesting for obvious reasons.  I also speak English very fluently.<p>I find English to be a <i>dumbed down</i> language, and reading long and complex sentences in it gives me unbearable pain, with about every grammatical function contained in different words spread all over the sentence, and little to no clue for what&#x27;s linked with what.  I never read literature in English because it is incomprehensible (even tho I easily read technical stuff in it).  And I can&#x27;t stand English pronunciation.<p>Italian on the other hand offers nice possibilities for prefixes and suffixed that modify a word&#x27;s meaning, allowing for deriving new words rather easily.  The noun-gender system and verb conjugation allows for more complex sentences to be built more fluently and pleasingly, without compromising legibility.  Vowels are actual vowels.  Italian has a small set of simple and nice sounds, whereas English has upwards of 40 different sounds you need to learn in order to speak near-native.  And Italian sounds just cool and lovely.<p>I don&#x27;t know how you can think that English is more flexible and more expressive.  All that makes English feasible is the fact that it&#x27;s spoken in the US.
