Does anyone know where I can find the ranking (level of difficulty) of
Russian as compared to Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Japanese?  I am
also interested in how much longer it takes the student of Russian to
attain intermediate and advanced levels of proficiency as compared to the
student of Spanish, French, German, Chinese and Japanese.

Please respond to me off line at peterska at union.edu .

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
