Is Objective C hard to learn if I have some Java experience?

I want to learn Objective C to make some basic personalized programs for my Apple products. I'm currently in highschool so I've learned a bit about Java. I only know some of the syntax and how to make a very basic decrypter/encrypter.

    Given that Java, Objective C, C#, C++ (and a few others) are all based on C, if at any time you have learned one of them, then learning any of the others should be a piece of cake.

    Java is not similar to Objective-C, so if you are looking for similarities you won't find very many. If that translates to "hard to learn", then the answer is "Yes".

    In general...

    If you understand software engineering practices and principles, then most languages are not difficult to learn with some practice.
