As a native speaker of English, I know that English is weird, esp to foreigners. Taking Spanish in high school, I know that there are a lot more grammatical and other linguistic exceptions in the English language, and based on friends, I'm sure that French is just as consistent as Spanish. In English, there can be a million formal definitions for a given word (I'm not sure if it's the same with French, please excuse me etymology is hard), and the English language has the most words out of any language ( ithink) so can be confusing. . .

here's dictionary.com definitions for "kitchen"
"Kitchen
A room or an area equipped for preparing and cooking food.
A style of cooking; cuisine: a restaurant with a fine French kitchen.
A staff that prepares, cooks, and serves food."


and yeah English language steals a lot of words from the French language and others
well, English is good for writing poems i guess, since you can be descriptive
