thanks for the great replies, everyone!

Strangely enough, the 4 people that mentioned the japanese language hit the jackpot. I'm going for japanese and korean.

I figured the way you make sentences would be indeed a lot different than western languages, most languages on this part of the world are just a little bit of word swapping here and there, and that's it.

Also, english seems to be farther than spanish, italian, french and portuguese are to eachother. It is ridiculously easy to learn, say, spanish and italian once you know portuguese. I bet one can learn both in 1 year. I wonder if that applies to japanese <-> chinese <-> korean too.

English grammar came very naturally to me. I sort of picked up the language almost like a native language even though I probably didn't get into contact with the language before age 12 or so. I'm sure I'm far from a native speaker in terms of grammatical correctness, but I never really thought or think about grammar when I write in English (which happens to be the majority of the writing I do).

Japanese grammar on the other hand... is rough. It seems to be very important though, because the grammatical constructs in Japanese carry very precise and fine-grained meanings.


English and German are both Germanic languages. It's natural that you'd pick up English grammar more easily than say, French grammar. Besides the fact that English doesn't have as extensive a system of declension and case, the languages are morphologically quite similar.
