Portuguese. One of the most complex languages out there. It's so hardcore:

Pneumoultramicrooscopicosílicovulcanoconiose. Or try this one:

Acentuação muito mais complexa que 90% das línguas. Funções gramaticais dolorosas, etc.

*função retenção carniça consequência reticências café pé aziágo"

Ef það er eitthvað tungumál sem er erfitt, þá er það íslenska. 

REALLY? I disagree.

English is the easiest Germanic language and its a lot easier to learn then the second easiest Germanic language German which used to be my native language.  Its also a lot easier then Spanish which I studied for a couple of years.

German and Spanish are generally considered much easier to learn than English though.

I've never heard that. It's always been German>Spanish>English around here. Everything is available in English though so I guess that helps.

i also wonder, in germany we always get told german is one of the hardest languages to learn worldwide haha.

and to be honest, i did not often see someone from another country who could speak german almost like a german, it always sounds much different to a german talking german.

maybe it's easy for swedes, i can also understand a lot of a swedish text and i never learned swedish.

German is pretty easy to learn from swedish, since we have a lot of words in common, and getting the sounds right isn't that hard. The grammar though, is another issue. That causus system is a pain xD



I LOVE ICELAND!

A great inconcistency between pronounciation and the written form. Some sounds are just...illogical.

If you think that's bad, you should listen to Italian Americans speak English.  What's written and what is spoken are often two completely different things.

Well vowels play a big role on that.

If you want some portuguese to say "Hi! Put a cream number five, sweetie" with the correct accent you should ask him to read this "Ai, puta crime nambâr fáive, suíti"

Accent will come out correct, although the person is using the portuguese form of it.

I'm sure you sound funny reading the second lol

 

There are also many words in english that I have no idea how to read them.

Nederlands is toch echt de beste taal.

translation:
Dutch is really the best language. EVER....PERIOD

русский язык. (Russian)
Mostly because it's an extremely fun language in my opinion. The sounds and the alphabet are much more entertaining to me than the other languages. Arabic also looks fun, but mostly for its alphabet and less so for its sound.

I like the way hebraic sounds, I don't know why. Never been to Israel either or met someone speaking it.

As for flowing, you can't beat either georgian or brazilian portuguese. Portuguese from portugal is just rough and rushed. Imagine this:

classy lady from london = brazilian portuguese
street hobo from queens = portugal's portuguese
Blond with great boobs with an angel voice = georgian
A german guy singing merry xmas = hebraic


You're right, our Portuguese is like singing. This is my biggest difficulty in learning new languages ​​like English: we speak slowly and they quickly.

 

"Ai, puta crime nambâr fáive, suíti"

OMG! Be careful, "puta" means "bitch". hahahaha xD

I've loved learning Japanese so far so my vote will have to lay there. I also want to try to learn Hungarian later in life at some point due to my family background.
