I want to learn Russian maybe, or a similar language like Ukrainian but they are so difficult

How about Kazakh (sp?)?

Dimash Kudaibergen is from Kazakstan, and oh, my does he have an amazing voice. He also has an 8.5 octave range!

This song shows off his range more, though you want to look up Opera 2 to really see how high he can go:

Here's something different. Jero is Japan's first and only black enka singer.

If you like the fusion stuff, let me know, and I can post some other examples.

I got to see Jero in concert when he performed in San Francisco quite some time ago.

That's really interesting! The only thing that stops me from learning languages like this is learning different alphabets. You don't have to if you don't want but it's very interesting!

Take a look at this. Traditional Japanese instruments used rock style.

Japanese is particularly fun on the alphabets because, yes, there are three of them. Hiragana, which is phonetic, Katakana, which is phonetic, but used for foreign derived words, and kanji, which is by meaning. There are about 50 each of the letters in hiragana and katakana, and thousands of kanji characters.

For fun, let's take this example.
今
This can be pronounced "ima" or "kon"
日
This can be pronounced "hi" (hee), or "nichi", or "taiyou"
However,
今日
is pronounced "kyou"

I didn’t forget. That’s why I added ‘other.’
