Keep in mind that Easy has two very different effects depending on whether the card is “new” or in “review”. For review cards, Easy is just a multiplier on the duration/difficulty. For new cards, Easy immediately ends the learning period, and converts the card to a “review” card.
For language learning specifically, I’ve seen people recommend specifying a longer set of new card steps, which serves to keep them in learning mode longer before switching to review mode, and gives you a little more control over that process. If you’re doing that, you’ll definitely want to avoid pressing the Easy button for any cards still in learning mode.
