Better literature overall(way I see it) and the language makes it extremely easy to get spanish, portuguese or to a much smaller extent French going.

what's the easiest eastern language

i dont want to spend so much time on one but i do seem curious

>> No.9263818

>>9263798

Conventional wisdom is Indonesian but even the easiest of easy languages take hundreds of hours of grinding to get even conversationally proficient. Learning a language is not the same as learning to play a few chords on the guitar, there is a lot of tedium and straight memorization and practice involved. I'm 99% sure you will never know an eastern language, without even knowing you, because everybody "would like" to speak a foreign language and a huge proportion of the population tries but very few succeed because it's not any fun at all.

i'm fluent in 3 western languages so I know that it's not just fun and games but I guess chinese or something is too exotic to just learn.
