As a native Spanish speaker, absolutely not. It's apalling how most English speaking people find words with a latin root weird, difficult to pronounce and just magically difficult to understand and write. Go figure

Because English is not a Latin based language and most of the words and the way they're conjugated simply don't match up with standard English. I see the same thing with Spanish, French, and Portuguese speakers struggling with some Germanic words on first try.
