i think it's hard, because all arabic/asian languages differ soo much from european languages.

japanese and korean have an alphabet, so as long as u know the alphabet, u can "read". Then it's just building up ur vocabulary.

however, there are also kanji characters in japanese, which are basically traditional chinese characters. u'll have to memorize them.

chinese is just memorization. no alphabet, but thousands of characters to use.

oh yea, u gotta get the tones right when u'r speaking too.
