I like English better because it has no sexes. Learning a new language and learning sexes for everything could be kind of annoying, trust me. I went through that while learning french

It's weird though, because compared to learning French, English is amazingly difficult to learn, simply because we have so many different words (the language with the most words in the world in fact), even though we don't have feminine and masculine words etc.

Well, in my opinion it's way easier to learn english precisely because you dont make a difference between male and female. You dont really need to know all the words to understand the language, so it doesnt matters how many words there are :P

I find French a whole lot easier to learn because of the use of lots of patterns. My French teacher pointed out that  there are SIX different ways to pronounce -ough, and so many irregular verbs...to be, to meet, to have...

JUST SO FREAKING COMPLEX!

O.P. RE: Do nouns have sexes?
Back on topic. When you think of colours, do you believe them to have genders?

Black = Male
Yello = Female
Blue = Male

It's what I seem to think.

no, colours have temperatures.
purple, blue green = cool colours
yellow, orange, red = warm colours
