Are you serious? You think Anglo-Saksons use different language than Latins? It is the same Latin just more mangled.
This makes absolutely no sense.

I just got back from the south of France and it's unbelievable how many rich Russians now vacation and spend their money there. St Tropez was the most surprising - Russian could be heard everywhere around the port and old town. The ratio of girls to men was about 4:1 and some of these chicks were hotter than August
english is nothing but mangled French
Since the Norman invasion ,the English language has been heavily influenced by the French language....
Russian phonetically is not a roman language. English is, since english is nothing but mangled French and French is roman language. Therefore anyone who sepaks roman language will have very similar difficulties learning Russian, which is not a roman language. Therefore asking :"Are you Brits have easier tiome learning Russian than us Latin?" makes no sence.

Not to mentioned French kings were ruling that island for centuries and French knights brought some sort of culture to those barbaric leftovers of Celts. Without French culture Briatin would still speak some sort of Celtic dialect.
Anglo-Saxon is a collective term usually used to describe the culturally and linguistically similar peoples living in the south and east of the island of Great Britain (modern Great Britain/United Kingdom) from around the mid-5th century AD to the Norman conquest of 1066. They spoke Germanic dialects, and they are identified by Bede as the descendants of three powerful tribes, Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. It was perhaps under Offa of Mercia (reigned 757–796), or under Alfred the Great (reigned 871–899) and his successors, that the several kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons existed. Under the reign of Athelstan (reigned 924–937) the Anglo-Saxon kingdom took shape in England.
Now, can we please return to slagging off the nouveaux riches, please?"Anglo-Saxon" is still used as a term for the original West Germanic component of the English language, which was later expanded and developed through the influence of the concept of Old Norse and Norman French, though linguists now more often refer to it as Old English. In the 19th century the term "Anglo-Saxon" was broadly used in philology, and it is still, to some degree, used this way nowadays.

I have a few friends who are Ph.D. linguists who also believe that English is a latin language. Of course, they are likely wrong as these two are about many other things. They are, however, able to come up with compelling arguments. Perhaps not compelling, but more cogent than "Huh???".
