Of the written languages, Classical Chinese is pretty easy to learn.
However, once you know the grammar and have a decent -- say a 8.000
character vocab -- you face a real hurdle. Reading enough to know all the
necessary allusions by heart.

As Andrew says, a fairly regular language like Swahili might fit
the bill (but I haven't much direct experience with Swahili). I think
Danish is a spelling disaster worse than English, but the grammar is
nice. Classical Tibetan feels like Lisp. Easy syntax, deep thoughts.

Perhaps I might offer my own language: Denden -- simple syntax,
simple spelling, quite expressive. And equally difficult for
everyone (except for me):
