Which is harder to learn?

It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

That strangely makes sence. :-k

I'm going wiht english it came naturally to most of us cause we heard it all our lives. But when you REALLY think about it english is really hard. Why? Because english has lots of diffrent and rather overcomplacatied parts to it, such as transinate verbs past tense present tense. If you grew up around it, it comes naturally and is easy for you to learn but if you were a diffrent language english would defisntly be one of the hadrest to learn.

Now, I am Italian, so I'm learning both languages. In my opinion, sirs, japanese is harder.
Moreover, japanese has in the different alphabet and in the kanji two big additionals troubles. Besides, these two thing makes japanese a charming language. :D

I think Japanese is easier because the words are easier to pronounce like KA, SA, GA,CHI, and the other Japanese particles.
English I would say is a bit more difficult to pronounce for some one un familiar to the languaeg
like the R and L sound.
