Chinese. You have to learn a new system of alphabetic expression (we call that an alphabet [using letters to forms words], but in Chinese it is hieroglyphic [using symbols to represent words]), learn to speak words that are unnatural non-Asian speakers (nasal intonations that impact the meaning of words), and if you are an English speaker there is virtually no carryover of words that have ancient roots (e.g. Latin and Greek).
Russian was very difficult for me in that how sentences are formed in Russian do not translate the same way other European languages translate. I am talking about transliteration the sentences formed by stringing together words. Every language has challenges when translating to English, but because English is influenced by Latin, French, German and various Scandinavian languages, sentence structure is "somewhat" similar to English, as well the root meaning of words that have evolved over time.
