Does anyone else excel in foreign languages?

Is Swedish hard?

Honestly, yes. There're a lot of sounds that a native English speaker would be unfamiliar with, like 'y', 'ö', 'ä', 'é', 'sj'/'stj', 'l' (in some dialects), and so on. The grammar can be stupid sometimes.. for example, there're 5 different ways nouns can be pluralized. Compare:
hund(ar) - dog(s)
stjärn(or) - star(s)
hjärta(n) - heart(s)
tjej(er) - girl(s)
hus/hus - house/houses (stays the same)

But, for example, verbs aren't conjugated according to person. IE:
Jag talar - I speak
Du talar - You speak
Vi talar - We speak
Hon talar - She speaks
De talar - They speak

Or:
jag är - I am
hon är - she is
de är - they are

and so on. So, that part is very simple.

This german chick that lives with me lived in sweden for 6 months and said it isn't a very hard language.

Of course she would say that.. German is her native language.
