Which one would you say is harder?

4,593 PointsIn some ways this is like asking "what is better, white or black" or "whats harder to learn French or German"
Short Answer: Both have their challenges and realistically neither is easier than the other, however you may find you are more comfortable in one or other, or equally happy in both.
Long Answer: Far to much for me to put down but i suggest you do some reading. here are a couple of articles that might help you get a feel for where i'm coming from.
