Some languages like English, German, Latin, and Greek, give themselves more naturally to philosophy. Notice also that every great work of philosophy has been written in one of these languages.

English is arguably the best technical language there is, all you've discovered is that your English reading level is lower than your Spanish one.

We spanish speakers have the philosophy of centuries included in our lenguage. So many philosophical problems are non problems in spanish. The clearest example is the verb 'to be', gringos and other countries have no distinction between ser y estar, so they suck Heidegger's dick for making a concept such as dasein when we already had it on lenguage (estar) in every day use.

This for sure. Deal with ESLs and even the most intelligent & fluent ones blank out sometimes when you say something abstract. Very dumb native speakers do that too of course, but you can tell when it's the language barrier that's at fault
