Big gap between Chinese and Arabic....

German->Dutch->Indonesian easy

Never forget Japanese, Vietnamese, etc being part of what most people call 'Chinese'. There are dozen similar but still different languages people summarily call 'Chinese'.

Mandarin Chinese->Cantonese->Vietnamese->Thai->Lao->Khmer->Burmese->Tibetan

I agree with you on both of those, but I guess I just picked up on French quicker for whatever reason.

Japanese is a lot easier when you're familiar with the alphabet, etc. though.

True true... I'm learning Japanese formally now
