The tones in Chinese tend to be very difficult for English speakers to master, even if you write out everything in pinyin. Like I've met white guys in China who haven't quite gotten it down despite living there for 15 years. The Chinese writing system is also difficult to tackle, but if you use it regularly you tend to pick it up faster than mastering spoken Chinese.
From what I understand Korean seems a lot easier to speak and the Hangul writing system is very clean and logical.
