If English is your native language, Scandinavian (to use a collective term) is the easiest language to learn. Once you have a form for a verb you never have to conjugate it. It is the same for first, second and third person, singular and plural. Future tense? Just add "skall (English: shall)" and there you have the future tense. Jag skall gå hem nu= I shall go home now. The only real quirk to learn is that the indefinite article goes before the noun, and the definite article gets attached to the end. Vi har en kniv (we have a knife) vs. vi har kniven (we have the knife). Once you can read one of them (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish), you can read over 85% of the other two. Danish is a catastrophe as far as pronunciation goes (think "Fawlty Towers meets the Beverly Hillbillies"
, but if they write it down, you are saved.
