I am bound to admit that English is

 EASY, FUN(When it´s sung), IMPORTANT,GREAT, CRUCIAL,EXCITING,SURPRISING, AMAZING, FASCINATING, FRUSTRATING,....

AN ADVENTURE, COMMUNICATION, RESEARCH, CULTURE, DRAMA,ACTION, WISDOM, SHAKESPEARE, AMERICAN SLANG,PLAY,FICTION, NON-FICTION, COMEDY, PROSE, A TOOL, A VEHICLE, A LINGUA FRANCA WORLDWIDE, POETRY,THE HOST, THE MILK, EVOLUTION,NOT JUST A SUBJECT, GROWTH, YOUR ATTITUDE TO PEOPLE,TO OBJECTS, TO IDEAS,YOUR RELIGION, YOUR LIFE, EVERYTHING......

See if you can find different meanings in the following words by using them in suitable contexts:

pitch

ball

top

kite

mole

pike

rook

seal

swift

thrush
