The only thing I can say about Arabic is that their script is beautiful. In some copies of the Koran, the entire book is a visual artwork. I can stare at them for hours.

Japanese is one of the easiest languages to speak, pronunciation-wise. There's no tone that can change a meaning to a word if said incorrectly; it's spoken phonetically how it's written.

It's easy to speak, but hard to learn. The sentence structure is completely different than English or any other indo-European language. IMO, to learn Japanese you need to leave what you know about English behind. It's spoken phonetically how it's written you say? Then you'd have to learn to read it too.

I think the English is the hardest language to learn, because if you learn any language, it will never have as much detail and precision as the English language. I mean there are so many different ways to express your selves, so many synonyms and more by the day! And all the rhetorical devices you can use to make your wording so much more meaningful and poetic. People may have "mastered" any other language, but I honestly, it's impossible to master the English language. Its simple, yet so complex, that's the beauty of it!

Not exactly and that's why English is easy to learn besides the fact that it became the international language, it got few verbs compared to languages like Spanish where 2 words are written exactly the same but means totally different things.

Liked.
Lead1 = Something you put on a dog
Lead2 = To 'lead the way' and take someone somewhere
Lead3 = The Metal
Led (pronounced same as lead3) = Past tense of 'lead2'

the reason english is easy is because its an international language and you learn it from when ur young, but try teaching it to someone who is 20+, they will have very hard time.

IMO the same applies to other (indo-)germanic languages like german, dutch, swedish etc.

One of the main problems I'd have with arabic would be to learn a totally different script (?). Like you'd have to learn actual arabic, not that "internet arabic" ;)

And regarding the "english is easy" thing...people who say that usually are either native speakers or not as good at it as they think...
