Only Japanese is a sticky language. Because Japanese belongs to different language families and has different grammatical features from the other three languages, we will not involve Japanese for the time being when comparing the difficulty of English, German and Russian.

Introduction of each language:

First, English.

English grammar is based on Germanic etymology. Although some scholars in18th century and19th century tried to apply French and ancient Latin grammar to English, they failed.

Second, German.

German is similar in difficulty to English, but much simpler than Russian. German pronunciation rules are much simpler than English, and there are no phonetic symbols of German words in general vocabularies and dictionaries. You need to read according to the pronunciation rules of German. If there are special circumstances, such as words from other languages without German, they are usually marked with pronunciation.

Third, Russian.

Russian nouns are mostly in the form of 12, and there are 6 cases of singular and plural nouns. There are more than 20 or even more than 30 forms of adjectives, including singular masculine, neutral, feminine, plural, short tail and comparative. Verb forms can be one or two hundred, including aspect, tense, state, form, adverbial, auxiliary verb and so on. Content words can generally be divided into two parts: stem and suffix.

Fourth, Japanese.

The basic pronunciation of Japanese belongs to pentatonic scale, and the pronunciation is the simplest of the four languages. You can basically master Japanese pronunciation by remembering the pronunciation rules of pentatonic scale. Japanese is a cohesive language, and grammar is expressed by the adhesion of auxiliary words and auxiliary verbs.
