Almost all languages are like... pronounced the same way. The hard thing with most popular European languages is that they have this certain kind of "twang", which is kinda like missing consonants or vowels.

For additional information, the good thing about languages in my region like Japanese and Korean is they are easy to read and pronounce. Filipino is also on the same level. Both "Bahasas" of Malaysia and Indonesia are a little harder than the three languages above, but still generally easy to read. But there are these kind of languages like Chinese and Vietnamese are way harder than you think. Thai is also as hard to pronounce like some European languages, but easier than Chinese.

The bad thing about our languages is that there are missing consonants. For example, in Japanese (and Korean), there's this "Engrish" confusion. In Korean and Filipino, there is a lack of "F" and "V" sounds. In Chinese and Vietnamese, their letter R's are pronounced as "Zh's", though their final R sounds like English. Other languages though, are not like that.
