Aw, it's not that bad.  One vowel and *only* one vowel per syllable. 
Much, MUCH more consistency in pronunciation of the alphabet.  None of
these non-intuitive stand up, sit down, roll over, verb-preposition
combinations that we have in English.  (Well, I guess a person *could*
stand down, or sit up or roll in, roll out, roll down, ROLL FRICKEN'
WHERE-EVER!)   See! Studying Other languages makes a person realize
what a silly language our forefathers saddled us with!
