Chinese language is the last language i would like to learn
Two reasons:
1) character system instead of alphabet, which is not only an issue for memorization, but also there could be a cases of misunderstanding because of multiple meanings (i had seen a lot of times when my co-workers could not translate Chinese characters and had to use vocabulary, and the cases when they could come up with different interpretations)
2) creepy phonetics, esp. for smbd. whose first language is Germanic/Nordic one; even with psychological point of view it is a very "soft" language (a lot of "sh", "zh", "ch", "c" phonemes are used) - when you hear smbd. speaking Chinese you think of some laborer/slave (unconsciously), while when you listen to smbd. speaking Norwegian/German you feel confidence/power in the voice and associate speaker with boss/ruler (again, unconsciously).
The language structure/vibrations correlate with a collective psycho/mentality of a nation.
Chinese have obedience in their blood, therefore it was possible to enslave them with totalitarian ideology - and up to now they live in a totalitarian state, which is not a case for German/Nordic countries.
There is interesting difference between Japanese and Chinese: Japanese language has different phonetics and Japanese although obedient to their Ruler (Emperor) a much more aggressive.
I would not elaborate on this anymore, as to prevent any unnecessary off-topic political debates on this forum.

And no offense; I was expressing my view from a point of Germanic and Slavic group languages-speaking representative.

I worked for one year in China and could speak passable Chinese, it is a wonderful country snd I am tr4ying to get work to go back. I found it an easy language to speak but difficult to read. I also speak and read Thai and English
