I think I'd struggle with Chinese and Japanese because the way they are written just bears no resemblance to our alphabet. Similarly with languages like Arabic.I once had a go at learning Russian and can still manage to recognise what sound the letters make but that's about as far as I got! Yet in comparison French and German seem quite simple.
