I'm not sure I'm up for the complicated process of learning Japanese, but I've picked up a little Japanese playing import games. I wish Nintendo would release a "Japanese Trainer" for the DS over here.

I plan to, just because I can't apply the patch properly that lets me play Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 in English. Shame too, because its the only Fire Emblem I have left.

Same here, because the grammar set up is completely different to that of European languages, and words are comprised of syllables instead of letters (the katakana is basically just representation of the syllables).

I heard it was English. But then again, half the kids in my Spanish class complain the same about Spanish, too

I learned a little Japanese on the Internet for the sake of trying to understand what those characters meant when I played a game in Japanese mode. Forgot most of it, though...

It's not so much the alphabet as it is the grammar and word structure. That's the hard part.

I haven't-yet. I will learn it some day, though, so that I won't have to rely on subtitles for anime and games. And especially so that I can understand this.

My best friend not only learned Japanese when the necessity of importing Saturn games arose, but he ended up majoring in Japanese in college, and has been translating for the Hiroshima prefecture (Japanese government) for the last 5 years in Japan.

I would say that English is probably the easiest language I can think of other than Esperanto.
