What languages do you know?

Question

which was hardest to learn, which is your primary language & which do you use most? why?

Answer 1

English, Tagalog, Chinese and Spanish. Hardest to learn is Chinese as I know Cantonese, Fookien and Mandarin.
I mostly use English. Because this is America. And when you're in Rome, you do as the Romans do. It's very discourteous to speak in a different language in a mixed group. But I speak Chinese and Spanish to my sister over the phone. I speak Tagalog to my son-in law and my other Filipino friends.But in the presence of my daughter who can only speak in English, I speak English. More often than not I speak mostly in English.

Answer 2

No language is hardest or even hard to learn !
It is a mental block, we acquire as adults. Children learn any sound they hear from adults, and "catalogue" it in memory as the response sound to communicate with those respective adults !
This way, they learn as many languages they are exposed to during their early childhood. Only when they reach school, and are taught that learning is compulsory, they start feeling the burden, and the resistance they develop stays firmly for the rest of their lives.

Answer 3

English, French, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, were all pretty easy as they have common roots and use the alphabet, well, the last two do not but are easily adapted. Japanese is tough, real tough, because it cannot be written in the alphabet and learning kanji seems such a hopeless chore, and remembering every word without being able to write it down, or compare it to other words that have similar kanji, is well, tedious and frustrating
