Wrong. Linguistically English is pretty much the simplest language in existence. We don't have masculine and feminine, a case system, barely have conjugation and tense is mostly from additional words. Thats Just to start.
Your point that "because someone who speaks French can easily learn Italian" has nothing to do with the objective complexity of the language and it just about similarity. As someone who knows both of these, it's simply because their grammar is similar and they have a lot of cognates.
Objectively English is more simplistic that the latin languages and late in more complex that those.
