I loved it for its structure. You always know what is going on in a sentence. Time, subject, object, verb. So precise that Ben Franklin thought that it should be America's language.

I used to laugh at all my friends taking French and complaining about the conjugations of French verbs. Try memorizing which "the" (the articles: der, die oder das) goes in front of every noun, and how they change depending on where they are in a sentence.
