Internet Item of the Day: NOTE: It is my humble opinion that anklets are sexy and women should wear them more.

As a French native speaker from Quebec, I found it really, really easy. If you know music it will help even more because it has different tones to the same sound, with different meanings each.
I took evening classes for one year and I could carry a basic conversation. I lived in China for a year and then I became really good in about 2 months.
My advice: get a Chinese buddy with whom to talk.
For the first question, it is hard for a foreigner to learn chinese, But don’t worry you still can learn it very well if you work hard.
For the second question, It depends on the way you are learning, where you are and how hard you work.
If you study chinese in china and you make lots of chinese friends, then you may speak fluently chinese in three months. And if you can’t come to china and you haven’t lot’s of chinese friends, then you’d better pay more attention to your methods of learning chinese. My suggestion is that you can learn chinese online. Through this way you can have a very professional chinese teacher. This can save you a lot of time and energy. You know the teacher will cut your coat according to your cloth. By this way, if you work hard and come to the courses on time, you may speak fluently chinese after you finish all the courses.
I may suggest you one of the best online chinese school, echineselearning (http://www.echineselearning.com ).
It provides one-on-one online live chinese lessons with professional teachers from china. and you can take a free trial (http://www.echineselearning.com/free-trial ) see whether it suits to you
It depends on native language your coming from. Which is English Im assuming. At least a few years for Chinese, because it is one of the harder languages for a English speaker. Also it depends on how your learning, and how often your submersing yourself in the language.http://www.learning-languages-fast.com/i…

Good luck!
To learn any language at first is not easy.But trust that practice makes perfect. After you master the basic rules on Chinese learning, it will be not so difficult to you.
You can try http://www.learnchinese.sg/
depends on the individual, how motivated they are, how much they study / practise.
chinese has many dialects, you really should elaborate for more accurate feedback.
After all it depends on learner’s grasping power, one can easily learn while others can’t. My dad is learning chinese language online using http://www.chinesesphere.com/adult.php.. hope it will help you
WHY do you want to learn Chinese? Is it for school? work? or just for fun?
actually it is hard .it depends if the learner is a fast learner or stupid
