I think than french is more difficult to learn for german-speaking people than german for french-speaking people, especially for pronunciations (Aussprechen).

His native language is English and he tries to learn German. He realized that there are many words in German and English that have similarities like perfect/perfekt, fish/Fisch or family/Familie and so on. However, he keeps telling me that not learning the vocabulary is hard, but to master the correct pronounciation. Also, Germans use many English words on a daily basis such as baby, internet, babysitter, download, last-minute, chat, call, browser, cool, kids, manager, workshop and many many other words.

Apart from vocabulary and gender, the most difficult part of learning German is, in my opinion, inflections. My goodness, took a lot to memorize and learn!

If my English were very good and I had more time, I would learn Chinese. Because China has an enormous and rich culture. Now and future Chinese economy will be one of biggest economy. Many business will be worked with Chinese. So I need to speak Chinese well for my business.

I have always wanted to learn how to speak French. I took French at school many years ago but never completed the course

I just think it is such a pretty language (romantic too).

Maybe you say that because you like its sound, but learning Italian grammar and syntax is a big challenge even for Italian mother-tongue people... :(

I want to learn (and I'm doing it) Russian language.
Why? I'm 23 years old and I think it's late to start learning Chinese or Japanese, but Russian language gives me the exotic point I searched... Because I already speak Spanish and Basque languages, and learn English, French and German... but they are not too exotic for me and for people in my city.
But Russian is a bit more exotic. :)
Besides, I have been to Russia this summer, and I have enjoyed a lot that travel, and met a great person and family. So I want to improve my knowledge at breackneck speed for going again next year and being able to communicate without using English. :D

Good for you! I think learning Russian must be really hard for any Romance language speaker.

I started learning French and German at high school. I found German a little too harsh for my accent; but I loved French. I still remember some; but I wish I had continued as I find it such a softly spoken; romantic language. They can make "Would you like a piece of cake" sound sexy! 8)

Russian language, is not so hard!

Yes, it's harder than learning French... but you don't know how I laugh learning Russian... it's a challenge for my mind, which has been a lot of years sleeping and not giving me much satisfaction... :) I discovered the activity of reading books when I was 19 years old, and I meet other languages apart Spanish, Basque and English when I was 21 years old... :)

Till then, my brain lived sleeping and thinking that learning things like for instance Russian language are difficult.

I started to learning russian when I was 8. It was compulsory. yet I hardly understand it.. not because it's hard, but I don't liked to learn it.... For me was very suprising, that russians have female and male last names. I thinked russians must be crazy. Estonian words don't have gender, there is even no same equivalent for "he" and "she".. (we translate them both same word).
