Chinese is actually easy to learn to speak. It has no articles, no plurals,
no prepositions, no postpositions, no tenses, no set rules on combining only
certain parts of speech. That's six things one need not be concerned with
when studying Chinese. Yet, it is spoken by over a billion people with no
problems in understanding.
That's what makes Spanish so hard.
