      De hecho el idioma Chino es más fácil que el Alemán y el Francés por que no tiene conjugaciones, eso ya es mucha diferencia a la hora de aprenderlo, lo complicado para los que hablamos una lengua occidental sería la escritura y un poco la acentuación, pero para alguien que aprende alemán, español o francés imagina lo difícil al ver tantas conjugaciones en los verbos y con el manejo de los pronombres y artículos.

    me as a Brazilian and as someone who has already tried to learn those languages:, i'd say, for sure: Japanese and Russian. Mandarin is not that hard as it looks like, the thing i struggle the most is with tones, but im already getting used to them. As someone who speaks a language that has genders, plurals, tenses and different conjugations for almost every pronoun, learning Chinese is actually being a piece of cake lol, the hardest thing is to remember the ideograms but the speak is not that hard tho

    For me, a portuguese speaker, mandarin isn't hard. There's no gender variation, the grammar isn't hard and it's Logic, the only problem in chinese language is the about 3000 kanjis you have to learn to be considered fluent, it's too much symbols to learn 😥

    As someone who speaks English as a native language: if you asked me when I was a young teenager I probably would have picked German or Mandarin. Now I have been learning German for almost two years and it actually isn't that hard. I had some pronunciation issues at the beginning with especially ö and ü, which I couldn't for the life of me get even half right at the beginning, but now I would like to believe that I can pronounce it right 80% of the time (I hope lol).
    Now I am looking contemplatively at Mandarin, because while it could be more challenging in that I need to learn a whole new writing script and I am not entirely sure my mouth can do any tones even half correctly, I also had many doubts when it came to German and while I am no master at German, I have done so much better than I ever thought I could. So here I am on the first video I have ever watched of Easy Mandarin and I hope that in another two years I will be able to hold some degree of conversation in Mandarin as long as I stick with it. After all, German proved that even I can learn a language, despite being convinced before that that my brain was not built for language learning.
    Thank you for the video! I found it super interesting, and also kinda funny how many people said German haha. Deutsch ist aber nicht so schwierig, meiner Meinung nach.

      @@Cutenessapproved As a Hungarian I of course think Mandarin is harder :D Hungarian grammar is very logical, which means a lot of rules, but also not so many exceptions. Which in the end helps. If this helps: those accents indicate very distinctive sounds and lengths. Wrong pronunciation can lead to misundersandings in all languages, but I get it. I'm learning Mandarin and with the effort I've already put in I could have fully mastered Croatian for example.

      As for Chinese, the tones are the real tricky part, however having spent a LOT of time in China I find context often defines more than the tones (otherwise how else could you sing a song in Chinese?).
