That's my favourite Norwegian comic series! From my own experience I'd say that Norwegian is easier than English.
However, you find some samples in English here, as e.g. these:

And there's also a facebook-page with some more strips:

I wonder why they used "Chez cuckoo" as the English title of this series, because "Kollektivet" actually means "shared flat".

if you're learning a second language
English is the hardest one in the world
if you're a toddler learning your "mother tongue" English isn't really so hard

You are joking, aren't you? If not: How can you tell that English is the hardest language in the world, if you haven't learned a second language yet? The most difficult thing about English is probably that you can never be sure how to pronounce a word correctly, unless you have heard it.

isn't English actually one of the easiest languages to learn?

I heard it was the hardest, but that's a pretty difficult thing to determine. My friend learned Finnish and talked endlessly about how hard that was for her, I tried learning Mandarin at one point but gave up.

it's one of the easiest if it's your first language, it's one of the hardest if you are learning it as a second language

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

oh. I've heard Anonymous is a pretty good source.

I just googled hardest languages to learn and it doesn't even crack the top 20 in any of the lists that popped up on the first page. Didn't go any further.

I live in California and this place is filled with foreigners, most of them learn how to speak English very quickly.

Why Is English So Hard to Learn?

The difficulty of learning any second language, as an adult, depends on what languages you already speak, especially your native language. It is not difficult to learn a language that is closely related to your mother tongue. The more dissimilar the target language is from your own language, the more difficult it will be. English is not a difficult language to learn for Dutch or Danish or German speakers, but it would probably be more difficult for Japanese, Arabic, or Mandarin speakers.

[TechnicalBarbarity]

you also posted a random quote from "anonymous", so no i didn't. I could have also posted you a 100 links to pages that didnt have english listed as one of the harder languages to learn. And to add to that i live in a state that has more immigrants than anywhere else in this country. And most learn how to speak english very quickly. And 99% of them are not dutch danish or german either btw.

sometimes immigrants learn English in preparation for coming to America
sometimes immigrants are bilingual adults that learned English when they were little kids
but the adult immigrants who don't learn English until after they get here usually have extreme difficulty learning English
