Frustrated

Easiest is Spanish, then French, then English, then Chinese, then Russian (these are languages I tried to learn, with varying degrees of success). Chinese is easier than Russian because there is no grammar to learn, and the characters make sense, after a while. German is easier, because the language is complex, but it follows its own rules. Russian, I have never seen anything like it. The very words mutate, even as you put them next to other words, and the multitude of case changes are unbelievable. Speaking proper Russian is like trying to eliminate a bubble in a carpet - when you step on it, it just pops up somewhere else.
