Right now I would say English is easier than Chinese. Did you know that Chinese is one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult language to learn. Learning to write would be the most difficult part of studying Chinese. English consists of 26 letters in the alphabet. It is hard to learn how to write (a,b,c...) The Chinese symbols and characters are extremely difficult. I'm sure you remember when you were young, learning how to write, you have to remember how each lines are formed and where they go in order to form a character. This is the one of the main differences in learning Chinese and English.
