English is pretty simple and easy:
German Grammar is crazy!
Chinese is easy to a point (any of the hundreds of Chinese languages). But the problem then comes with reading and writing, as well as tones. One fuckin word can mean heaps of different things.

Hanzi Pinyin Pitch contour Meaning
妈/媽 mā high level "mother"
麻 má high rising "hemp"
马/馬 mǎ low falling-rising "horse"
骂/罵 mà high falling "scold"
