English is easy to learn! "cases, conjugations, declensions", well, none of those really exist in English.

The possessive "case": 's? It takes one second to learn it.

Conjugations? "infinitive+s, +ed, +ing" and you're done with English conjugations. That's extremely simple compared to many continental european languages.

Declensions? Declensions do not exist in modern English.
