I see now, from what I hear it sounds pretty fuckin hard so good luck with that.

Yes, tonal languages can be more difficult to learn than non-tonal languages.

Edit: Oh! And I can't really use just Rosetta Stone to teach me Vietnamese because the program uses the Northern dialect and all of my father's family is from southern Vietnam. A cousin-in-law used the program to learn Vietnamese and most of the relatives can't understand him (although, the few in-laws from northern Vietnam can understand him perfectly). According to Dad, the Northerners butcher the language.

Vietnamese and and the millions of Chinese are the most annoying sounding languages ever. Japanese and Korean sound epic.

Only incentive for learning Dutch is to move to the most liberal country in the world.

That's my plan.
