任何一種語言都具備根本的簡易性，所以不用多高的天資，華人都會中文，德國人都會德文，美國人都會英文。 沒有哪種語言會演化成艱澀到連本國人都學不會，只要有正確的學習方法加上用功，世界上任何一種語言照理都能精通。台灣有全球一級爛的英語教育品質，因此就算台灣人是地表最聰明的人種，英文能力照樣超爛，台灣英語教育專擅胡搞亂搞，美國小學程度的英文，眾多台灣人可以學好幾十年還學不完，這樣當然會成為英語文盲，如果我們小學程度的中文，也是學好幾十年還學不完，我們也會成為中文文盲。所以一開始學英文便需就戰鬥位置，精神要專注，學習火力要強大，這樣不出幾年英文必然可以學得不錯，否則像台灣這種要死不活的英語教育，可能學到下輩子英文還沒學會
