E. Overall difficulty
For each language I sum up difficulty in learning it by a simple ranking system, ranging from *(easiest) for a French learning Italian  to ***** (most difficult)for an American learning mandarin chinese . Of course, languages related to your mother tongue or to another language you know are easier to learn, so I give two marks, one for a speaker of a related language and one for the rest of us.
