Mandarin is harder if you don't know a tonal language, or Japanese

I studied Japanese; it's fairly easy compared to English. I knew
people who studied Mandarin; they said it was fairly easy once they
got the tonality down, which didn't take all that long.
I'm referring to the spoken language, not the written language.
English has so many irregularities (in both spelling and grammar),
homonyms, homophones, different words that mean (almost) the same
thing, and colloquialisms & slang.

into consideration that English (which is reputed to be the hardest
language to learn) is not your native language.
