Oh, is was taking about English. Sorry it wasn’t clear.
German is quite hard grammatically, with its dative case and inconsistent use of genders for non gendered things. It’s got some phonemes that are quite hard for adult learners too. The one thing it’s got going for a lingua franca is the consistent pronunciation rules.
Don’t know anything about Sanskrit. Sounds interesting.
