Korean is pretty easy to read, and Latin... Not sure why people find Latin difficult? I assumed only because it's dead and you can't actually practice.

Chinese is the hardest language in the world!

I see. Forums help a lot xD. Well, in my case, for example I've seen anime or another shows with english subs, also weekly I read OP chapter in english version too xD. I've read english papers and english heatlh info/guidelines too. And media like Youtube also have english subs.
Maybe I think sometimes I underestimate my english language abilities.
That's a heap of amazing ways to learn I guess!

Never stopping is the key to success:)

I'm European too! Trust me, Korean is easy to read - but hard to speak with all their complex words.

European languages borrowed so much from Latin, so you have familiar stuff. And then grammar reminds me of Serbian a lot, so I didn't find it difficult when I was learning it in school. Maybe that's just my imagination.

Holy trinity of languages easiest to learn (basics at least): English, Spanish, Italian :catsweat:

I'm swedish, and norweigan and danish are very similar as they're part of the same language group, so the vocabulary is mostly the same, only differing in spelling. They're mutually intelligible languages and one could even say they're different dialects once you've learned some basic word differences and overcome some of the differences in pronouciations (danish is the absolute worst when it comes this and it takes effort for me to understand spoken danish, but I get by) I consider it as basically different dialects with many similarities. For instance some things that are spelled virtually the same in danish and swedish sound completely different by a danish speaker because the spoken language is so different, with swedish being a very soft language and danish much rougher, the words shortened and swallowed up, some consonants are not emphasised like in swedish, etc. Danish sounds bascially like a drunk and rambling swedish person :)

Unfortunately english becomes the way to cross some of these language barriers which I think is just mad. It is virtually the same language. I don't know how russian compares to polish but a friend of mine once said the similarity between the nordic languages is like the similarity between bulgarian and serbian, but I don't know too much about the similarities and differences between the slavic languages though I have a lot of slavic roots from way back in my lineage
Honestly i find danish hard , but people told me they teach danish class for job immigrants haha.

Well Nordic countries speak better englishbthan rest of Europe.

Most of us barely pass out ielts exam here when they are applying for GMAT.

I am planning to learn Latin thanks for giving me the push.

I see most of eastern Europe on language are hard to speak. I can read Cyrillic languages but damn speaking Hungarian or Slavic language are pretty tough.

People underestimate Slav languages are hard as well.

You can do it, don't give up! :catrude:

I can imagine it is tough. But props for being able to read Cyrillic! ( Браво! )

TAC, you mean you know about hangeul, seriously? since when?

Yup it takes just a day or so to learn how to read korean~ Then problem is to learn and memorize all the words and the grammar, but deciphering itself is quite easy! King Sejong who invented the hangeul system was truly a genius
