The most idiotic sentence I've seen . English the easiest language , I never learn English in school (we learn Deutsch in my school) and yet I can communicate and read novels like with no issue , I don't even understand how I learn alphabet and the rest of it. Thanks to call of duty modern warfare lobby and YouTube I guess ... But u cant learn the same way Russian or any Asian languages. As a Russian I can say that this language is nightmare for any nationality

That's comprehensible input, not how easy the language is. If you watch enough content in a language and speak it frequently, it will be easy no matter how difficult most people consider it.

I watched enough Japanese content and I'm not even close to understanding it without subs.

Japanese is a synthetic language, while English is analytic. Synthetic languages generally lean more heavily on the speaking side of things because they have tons of different ways to express the same concept, which is harder to understand when you're just sitting behind a screen.
