French is absolutely not easier to learn. English and German are fairly closely related Germanic languages.
German is spoken in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Northern Italy, and by about 30% of EU citizens as a second language iirc
Educate yourself
I'll ignore the angry swipe for discussion's sake.
I've spoken to many English speakers that have learned both. They say that German grammar is truly a pain in the ass, and they complain a lot about the 3rd gender that German has, and that Germans tend to fuse a bunch of words together to form a mega-word.
I'd really say that French is closer to English that German is to English. Look at this, for example:
English: What is the direction of the board of education? French: Quelle est la direction du conseil d'ducation? German: Welche Richtung hat der Bildungsausschuss?
English: Meet at the designated rendes-vous point, rapidly French: Rendez-vous au point de rendez-vous dsign, rapidement German: Treffen Sie sich schnell an der gewnschten Stelle
English: How was your annual performance review? French: Comment s'est droule votre valuation annuelle des performances? German: Wie war Ihre jhrliche Leistungsbeurteilung?
English: What is the utilization percentage? French: Quel est le pourcentage d'utilisation? German: Wie hoch ist der Auslastungsprozentsatz?
English was born as a Germanic language, but then it took a lot from French later on, some people would say it's a combination of the two.
On my phone so cant post examples now, but you used sentences with latin words or french loan words, so of course they look similar. You can do the same with German and English sentences.
Personally I find German grammar to not be all that difficult, and aside from the -ch sounds, German pronunciation is all easy to an english speaker, and german words are for the most part spelled as they sound
Yes... English borrows a lot from French. That's my point :)
