Just being a grammar nazi for English here, but this sentence, "Oh, if only it was as simple as English," is in the wrong mood. This should be written in the subjunctive mood thus: "Oh, if only it WERE as simple as English."
I know the subjunctive is largely ignored in British English and even American English, but it's still important!
Ironically, I never cared until I studied Spanish :P
