You are right.
Guess I was taught incorrectly
I stand corrected
Strictly speaking Meatpie is right - English is a Germanic language. The structure is fairly similar to German, and so are quite a lot words. But English has imported many words from the Celtic languages, from Scandinavian (thanks to the Vikings), from French, and from ancient Latin. So Entizha is not so wrong - I can understand many words in French and other Latin languages, perhaps more than in German. And we have many dialects - in the south and west it is mainly the accent that changes, but in the north there are different words too - often scandinavian words.
