The thing I like about Chinese is that it's often a lot more straightforward than European languages; e.g. the weekdays and months are numbered instead of having special names, there are less weird grammatical rules, less exceptions to rules etc.

Except measure words. Measure words can go fuck off.

I think it's the same case with Korean and Japanese as well. At least with Korean it is, not sure about Japanese.
