which language do you think is the most diffcult to learn?

Answer 1

CHINESE LANGUAGE is difficult because it is tonal.
KOREAN language is difficult because it has three levels.

Answer 2

Mandarin Chinese. In speaking/pronounciation, the major roadblock is an over-complex romanized spelling (most consonants are pronounced differently than the same letters in English or the Romance languages). There are four intoneations, or ways of speaking a word, and so one sound can mean 4 or more different things (Ex. the word for mother, cord, horse, and angry are all the same sound, but spoken very slightly different). As for reading/writing, the Chinese language has 50,000+ different characters. You need to be able to recognize at least 2,500-3,000 common characters to read the newspaper.

Answer 3

English

Answer 4

Aymara.
Just about the phonetics, it seems impossible to repeat. Many Bolivians are bilingual, they are fluent in Aymara, their ancient native language, and Spanish, the acquired language due to their colonization.
After having learned English, German, French and Dutch, I have some little experience in my own limitations. When my Bolivian friend once tried to teach me her language, I could not even repeat the consonants, completely different from what we listen in occidental languages at least.

Answer 5

One of the Australian aboriginal languages that has only one speaker who doesn't really remember it, would be my guess. Any language with books and classes would be a hundred times easier than that! Even Swiss-German, which isn't often written, is hard but not THAT hard.

Answer 6

I'd say mandarin. The symbols and the sounds of the chinese words makes it difficult to learn. I know, I've been studying it for a year now and I'm still lost.

Answer 7

For an English speaking person, an asian language, because the alphabets and phonics are so different.

For anyone else, English, because it's bastardized, and has a unique grammatical structure (ie. lack of masculine and feminine verb tenses)

Answer 8

Arabic

Answer 9

I would subscribe to it being Japanese, its not the speaking of the language that is difficult its the reading, in addition the 2 syllabary's you have the thousands of Kangi.....I have even see Japanese argue of the meaning of kangi.

Answer 10

Basque

Answer 11

Khoisan Nǃxau's

Bushman language. It has many clicking sounds in it that are very hard to master.
