Taboo

Hi there!

While celebrating quite an unfortunate drinking night I have bet with my girlfriend that English language is one of the most easiest grammar languages but the most rich in vocabulary and sinonims. She is a Portuguese translator speaking Portuguese, Spanish, English and French, while I am a rather poor English speaking Spanish, with what I judge an acceptable English reading and writing level but a miserable knack for pronuntiation or accents, just like most Spanish I can account for (lo siento si alguno se da por aludido, pero mi opinioón sincera es que somos bastante más negados o al menos mucho más vagos que otros para el aprendizaje de idiomas foráneos)

Could we have your sincere opinion about this? She is obviously much more skilled about his matter than I am, but I am pretty sure I have heard this same oppinion about English as an extremely rich vocabulary language more than once before.

Please try to help me!! I am sure you can imagine what would mean for me to have some word about this matter when she has exposed as some kind of final argument that she or her fellows are much more skilled than me about this kind of matters and I have nothing to say about it!

Do any of you think that English is more rich in vocabulary than Spanish, French, Italian or the Roman languages in general or I am completely wrong and Roman languages are not only more difficult in grammar, but also more difficult in vocabulary?

Thanks in advance for your collaboration...
