For the record, Finnish is the hardest language to learn.

I can't really say if you are wrong or not, but I have found this infographic fairly accurate from my experience in language learning.

Honestly, I used to dislike Mandarin songs, and it's my second language behind English. But I've grown to like a lot of Mandarin songs (artists like JJ Lin make it sound beautiful). I do agree that in certain people, Mandarin sounds harsh, but I almost feel like that's true to some degree in every language. I personally can't stand listening to Canto, I can understand a little of it, but native Canto speakers always sound like they're yelling when they're just speaking normally lol

I wonder who made this? Obviously, I don't know every single language on the board there, but I know English and Mandarin, and took quite a bit of Japanese/Spanish in college as well. Nowadays, trying to pick up Korean though harder with job in the way. I felt Japanese to be very easy to learn, but then again... knowing Chinese pretty much eliminates recognizing all of Kanji haha.

Having said that, the Japanese alphabet is structured with a very defined way (and extremely easy) to learn and enunciate. Every language is slurred to a certain degree, but I find Japanese to not be slurred that much just because they're language flows together already. Again, just my opinion though.

I jut noticed Fox116's sig. I laughed. Thank you for taking Seditary's place and keeping up with all of the music shows. Even if no one else finds it useful, I do.

If you are fluent in Mandarin, learning Korean and Japanese should be easy, like French for someone who only knows English. That infographic is for English speakers.

K.will deserves more love in here. I don't think anyone's posted his new album and if it has, I haven't seen it.

Not in new album but one of the best dramas ever.

I mean TTL is still their best song but the promotions were underwhelming cuz T-ara was still young (Supernova were ballin though).

Roly Poly probably deserves #1 promo cycle. Every performance was really something and I loved Hyomin's dorky shenanigans.

I liked I go Crazy the most, everyone was really hot, including Boram in the few ocassions she actually had long hair instead of troll hair.

There are several things that make a language hard to learn. Tones, grammar and irregularities. I heard Finnish is very very irregular and their grammar is sickly hard to master.

igcboy was the best, followed by I'm really hurt because soyeon shined during those promos/tie choreo, and then ttl. supernova ruined those promotions for me.

Gahh.. if anyone here watches Chu8 LoL stream.. could tell me whats the korean male group(?) ballad that sounds like SG Wannabe sang it (Not even sure if SG wannabe is the artist). The song comes on from time to time.

It's driving me nuts trying to find out the song.
