The hardest language in the world?

French is very difficult to get good at unless you grew up speaking it. There are so many grammar rules and even more exceptions to those rules.

Japanese is probably one of the tougher, especially if you don't know any other Asian languages. The grammar is ridiculous from what I hear. Seriously, look at all of the Japanese kids that take extra lessons after school so that they can learn how to write well. Crazy.

Also, Mandarin, Cantonese and any other language that has a bunch of intonations is a bitch to learn unless you grew up speaking it. I hear Mandarin grammar is pretty simple, but memorizing all those symbols and learning intonations is friggin' hard.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
