Japanese grammar is Yoda, less due to difficulty (so far for me in my learning the language, at least) and more due to the fact that the sentence structure is very similar to how he speaks.
I would disagree that English grammar is easy. On the surface sure, it's relatively straight forward but then you have the exceptions. The English language loves being contrary and our grammar rules reflect that sentiment wholeheartedly.
That is true. I won't deny that, but as an English first language person who's learned some German and even more Arabic, I find I still struggle with my English grammar more than the other two. Plus when I was learning Arabic all my teachers, which were native speakers, agreed that English grammar was quite difficult. More to the point it's stupidly difficult because we have rules that make absolutely no sense in a logical grammatical structure but because of the diverse linguistic sources of the language we've included them. One teacher had dual doctorates in French and Arabic linguistics and he was one of the most outspoken about our insane English grammar.
Indo is way easier. It doesn't have past, present or future form. Me, myself and I came in one word. And indo ppl can understand whatever you're saying however messed up your speaking is.

Indonesian? It's easy too?
Wait lemme check if coursera offera Indonesian too.
Mandarin chinese grammar isn't actually that complicated, and it is by no means more difficult than german grammar. It's the thousands of signs one has to repeat daily in order to not constantly forget some of them, that make the language so difficult to lean.
