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.

First of all, it's not an opinion, it's a fact.

Anyway, why not try Mandarin Chinese? The grammar isn't that hard (actually, it's so simple that some people have claimed that Chinese doesn't even have a grammar (which is incorrect, of course)). Tones might be a problem at first, but the more you get exposed to the language the easier it becomes. Ditto the characters. Mandarin Chinese is also a well-documented language online (just google "learn mandarin," or search for torrents).
