No way. Easier than French or Spanish too. Half of the words are just learning the artikel in front of them.
the ball = der Ball
the man = der Mann
the book = das Buch
the Garden = das Garten
the milk = die Milch
the mother = die Mutter
to drink = trinken
to dance = tanzen

This is the english way of thinking about it.
You can, generally speaking, arrange the sentence how you want.
"Am Samstag, will ich mit meinen Freund zum Strand gehen." or something like that
"On Saturday what I with my friend to the beach go"

It's easy to PRONOUNCE, but that's about it. It's objectively a much harder language than Spanish, French or English just based on the complexity of its structure. For example, I've never been persuaded that there's any need to have separate dative and accusative verbs - English, French and Spanish get along just fine without them. And some of the dative verbs have very similar meanings to accusative verbs, e.g. "ich würde das widerlegen" instead of "ich würde dem widersprechen."

So true:
Surely there is not another language that is so slipshod and systemless, and so slippery and elusive to the grasp. One is washed about in it, hither and thither, in the most helpless way; and when at last he thinks he has captured a rule which offers firm ground to take a rest on amid the general rage and turmoil of the ten parts of speech, he turns over the page and reads, "Let the pupil make careful note of the following exceptions." He runs his eye down and finds that there are more exceptions to the rule than instances of it.

It might be one of the easier languages to learn if you're autistic. German grammar has a million rules but relatively few exceptions to these rules. If you have an autistic brain that can remember rules plus a million different noun forms, you might find it easy. But non-autists (and many autists) will find languages like Spanish and Portuguese to be much easier because the grammar is simpler and there is much less to remember. Portuguese in particular is easy because it has like five irregular verbs.

No, I'm not one of those guys with some crazy talent for languages, just had basic German gifted to me in my childhood and I worked hard to learn a lot of the more academic stuff. I have no real connection to any other country which would motivate me to put in the effort required to add another language.

À propos of nothing 40% of English words come from French and 10% come from Latin. If you can't learn French you are absolutely fucking retarded.
The German syntax thing is overblown if you have the opportunity for immersion and use it regularly it will eventually stick. Like anything you practice you get used to it. It is tough if you aren't regularly exposed to German every day to remember everything but native speakers don't go around actively thinking about noun cases.
But compared to French, far fewer German words share a root in English and the rote memorization is much more difficult. Here are some random German words: bezalhen, bekommen, beantworten, brechen, Beispiel, begleiten.
Ok tell me how without notecards and a study session you are ever going to fucking remember what any of these words mean?

They have some weird rules out of left field that will typically apply to like 20 or 30 words that you just have to memorize. Such as the "n declension" nouns:
https://german.yabla.com/lesson-The-N-Declension-in-German-Part-II-2357
They tested this on the Goethe C1 exam- remember one of the questions required you to know that the genitive form of "Mensch" (human) was "des Menschen" instead of "des Menschens" which you would normally expect.
French, Spanish or English learners don't have to deal with this kind of weird crap.

The prepositions also take a long time to get used to, not 1:1 to English at all and they also play with the case system, not fun
Subordinate clauses moving verbs to ends of sentences, or model verbs moving the second verb to end of sentences. Btw it’s not always obvious when a subordinate clause begins - eg weil (because) starts a subordinate clause but denn (also because) connects two independent clauses and doesn’t affect word order. Oh, also casually you can just throw in a “da” for because.
The second word in a sentence is always a verb rule can also feel strange to English speakers. Like if you want to say “I’m going to the park today” it will be “Heute (today) gehe (go) ich (I) in den Park”. Btw notice the preposition for “to” here is “in”? If it were something like a store it would be “zu” and if it were the beach it would be “an”. Or how about your home? There the “to” is “nach.” In English it would always just be “to”.

Japanese doesn't have an alphabetic script; it has two syllabaries. Kanji are ideographs, not hieroglyphs.
Other Asian languages like Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Khmer are far more challenging phonetically than Mandarin.

Doesn't Japanese also have postpositions and some ridiculous shit like that? I think Finnish is famous for having some words that can be used as both prepositions and postpositions, which makes it massively confusing for non-native speakers. I'm surprised that Finnish is only a category 3 language.
