I'm from England, so naturally English is my first language. And I mean proper English not any of this English (US) crap.

QUOTE (NergiZed @ 13 Sep 2009, 0:29)  Mandarin Chinese has prolly one of the simplest grammar out of all the languages I know. The hard part are memorizing the characters and pronouncing them. Overall, I find it the easier to learn out of my two first languages, even though I'm clearly better at my English. (I don't use my Chinese enough.) I tried learning Japanese a while back...grammar wasn't too bad, memorizing kanji/hanzi could be fairly difficult, and vocab was tricky because for the most part there were no cognates. QUOTE I know a few people that speak Russian; from what I've heard, it's a really tough language to learn. Yea, Russian is one of the most difficult languages to learn (at least for English speakers). Didn't stop me from taking it in school (and I'm not doing too poorly at it either).
