    I'm taking Spanish, it's pretty easy :D

    But what I've heard, and is the most true, is that English is the hardest language to learn.

    It's only easy 'cause we grew up with it. Think of how all the words are spelled so much different then they sound. They are actually thinking of making are "r" and you "u". English is so difficult, that I've heard so many rumors that they are going to rewrite most of the language.

    Think about it D: I mean, there are so many rules in the grammer and spelling and such it's just so...difficult for people.

    Why would you use a translator if you already know Korean?

    I'm taking an Elementary Chinese (Mandarin) class right now and I must say, it's like no other language I've learned. The sound and visual concepts are something I can tell I'll really need to pay attention to. In my opinion it's the most difficult language to learn. :|

    I'm surprised you didn't put French in there.
    From my personal experience, French is pretty hard, even though I speak fluently, it gets pretty confusing in my school year <_<(I go to a French school btw, so I was born with French lol) But I'd Japanese if it's that list.
    Most of those aren't that hard.
    Like Italian. It's actually not that hard, once you figure out how to pronounce.

    For me Japanese has been among the hardest to learn. But when you know it, it's a lot of fun.

    Spanish is obv the easiest.

    I think Chinese or Dutch might be the hardest to speak, but Japanese eems to be the hardest to read and write. What with all of that kanji and stuff.

    I'm gonna go with Japanese. It seems to be very difficult to learn.
