I`m curious about Japanese now, does anyone know of a link that would rather quickly describe how the future is expressed?

Or perhaps latin is the easiest...No. Latin is definitely not the easiest language for an English speaker to learn. Or for a speaker of any modern language to learn. Latin's crazy assortment of noun declensions and endless list of verb conjugations are likely to confuse the hell out of an English speaker.
Hm. German is difficult to pronounce and has very different rules than English, but some of the words are similar. I know little of Spanish but it didn't seem too hard...relatively, at least.
French spelling seems to be similar to English in the fact that it isn't phonetic. Which frustrates me, since I was spoiled with phonetic languages for so long. ;.;

Esperanto:
- Mi manĝos multe morgaŭ.
Japonese example of future construction:
- Mi manĝas multe en morgaŭ.

http://japanese.about.com/ (I think that's the link)
or search on google for 'Japanese about.com future tense', about.com are some knowledgeable folk. I personally am too tired to find a direct link (chronic laziness)

Farikos:I was just thinking it could be because the vocabulary is all from the same place. I never got really deep into latin though..Or perhaps latin is the easiest...No. Latin is definitely not the easiest language for an English speaker to learn.

But yeah it probably isn't the easiest, as they decline their nouns
Spanish is pretty easy, it's generally regular, and even the irregularities have words similar to them.
And a huge number of the words are cognates, making vocabulary very easy
I used to hate that about french too, no phonetic spelling, but after a while of listening to french and reading french, the pronunciation makes sense
