I speak 3 different languages (Russian,German,English in order that i learned them) I started to learn english when i was 11 and i'm pretty good at it right now, but i still cann't for the life of me figure out how to make the "th" sound properly. I say it like an 'f' not "th".
English isn't as easy to learn as you think. There is a joke about it in my family saying that a drunk guy invented this language because you need to KNOW how to pronounce every single word or you are going to say it totally wrong. In other languages (german for example), if you know the alphabet, you can read the world correctly, no problem. There might be a few exceptions but there are a lot less of them then in english.
A good example of this would be help and either. The 'e' in both words (first 'e' in either) make entirely different sounds while 'e' is 'e' in german, no different sound in different word.
Also if you dislike french so much, when you should dislike english just as much since both of them have funny rules about different things. (VANDERTRAMP verbs for example in passe compose) The only reason that you can speak english so well is because you were born into it. (as in first language), you would proably say the same thing about english if you were born in france or quebec.
Also if you don't like french maybe you should learn spanish unless of course you want to get a government job in canada. Spanish is the easiest language that I started to learn/learned so far and has few of those funny rules that you hate so much
