Easy non-Romance languages?

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-16 22:59

Hi /lang/. English speaker here. Can you think of any languages outside of the Romance language family that could be classified as "easy?" I want to learn a language that has fairly good online documentation, isn't Swedish, German, or Dutch, and also isn't constructed. I know these are strict filters, but you guys ARE the experts.

OP here. Pardon me, Anon. I see what you mean and I respect your opinion, but I simply cannot get myself to learn a language with radically different concepts. I just can't stay motivated. It would be great to learn Arabic but the different dialects confuse me. Korean, too, would be a good choice, but one day I just stopped trying to learn. I just can't stay motivated! It might be because I mostly use online resources (which become more scarce every day) and I can't teach myself very well in that format.

I'm not sure why, but I've never had even a small interest in learning Japanese. It might be because I'm intimidated by big, black languages, or just because I'm afraid of commitment. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Much appreciated.

Indonesian? I've never ran into someone speaking Indonesian but I'll take a look. Thanks anon.
