Thanks! One of the reasons French was easy for me because the languages I know, and most of the romantic languages, share almost identical grammar. Even some of the words are very similar. I researched about it a bit and guess what?! The Romantic languages(mainly French,Spanish,Italian,etc) and Sanskrit(the origin language of most languages here) have the same common ancient language called Scythia. Weird huh!?
Also that would explain why Americans and others may find French a bit difficult to understand as some of the grammar concepts are new to them.
