Answer 1

Language Fact:

The most difficult language to learn is Basque, which is spoken in northwestern Spain and southwestern France. It is not related to any other language in the world. It has an extremely complicated word structure and vocabulary

Answer 2

I learn wherein spanish and english is the simplest given that it has a small alphabet and works via finding out the sounds. Once you gain knowledge of the sounds you quite often can understand how to mention the whole lot. Because of this spanish and english is spoken in just about each nation of the sector. one other handy one is French for the equal factors. Once you gain knowledge of the sounds. Some of the extra complicated is Chinese given that you must gain knowledge of six hundred characters. Each man or woman method a phrase. The equal with Japanese there's such a lot to memorize and it does now not paintings on seems like. Each phrase has a man or woman you must gain knowledge of.

Answer 3

Languages are determined by their level - 1, 2, 3, or 4, the last being the most complicated. Chinese, Japanese, languages like that, are level 4.

Answer 4

As said before, it depends on which "language family" belongs the learner's mother tongue, or the languages he already learned.

It's easy for a french to learn english as more 40% of english vocabulary comes from french, and hard to learn chinese.
It's easy for a chinese to learn japanese, and hard to learn english.

Like music instruments they are no language easy to masterize, maybe some language easier to start. Just as you can play a piano chord after your first piano lesson, and you wont' produce a nice sound after your first violin lesson. But to masterize both of them will require as much time...

With it's rich vocabulary, english is not an easy language to masterize at all.
Chinese is not that difficult. ( you can try http://www.chinese-tools.com/learn/chinese )

Answer 5

It all depends on what languages you already know. Dutch speakers find English to be very easy to learn. Cantonese speakers find Mandarin very easy to learn. Hebrew speakers find Arabic very easy to learn. Try this on for size: In Archi, a language of the Caucasus, there are 1.5 million different possible forms for every single verb (there are about 50 different forms for each Latin verb); in !Xõó, a language of southern Africa, there are 126 different consonants, over half of which are clicks (there are 22 consonants in English). Now THOSE are hard languages for most of us to learn.

Answer 6

Japanese is without question the most daunting language for a native English speaker to tackle, according to Brecht. "I would like to learn Japanese but I don't have enough time in my lifetime. That's very depressing," says the linguist, whose center is based at Hopkins's Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). He notes that the State Department allows its students three times as long to learn Japanese as it does languages like Spanish or French.

As Brecht explains it, the challenge with Japanese is threefold. First, there's the fact that the Japanese written code is different from the spoken code. "Therefore, you can't learn to speak the language by learning to read it," and vice versa. What's more, there are three different writing systems to master. The kanji system uses characters borrowed from Chinese. Users need to learn 10,000 to 15,000 of these characters through rote memorization; there are no mnemonic devices to help. Written Japanese also makes use of two syllabary systems: kata-kana for loan words and emphasis, and hira-gana for spelling suffixes and grammatical particles.

Get beyond that and you're faced with a culture that, says Brecht, is "truly foreign for most Americans." With many languages, students start by learning introductions (Comment-allez vous? Trs bien, merci, et vous?) "But with Japanese, you can't even begin to do that with lesson one because of the social distinctions involved in making introductions," says Brecht. Age, social status, gender--"all these sociological factors make it so complicated that introductions can't be the first lesson," he notes.

Finally, there's the issue of grammar. In English syntax, grammar is right branching. We set a topic and then comment upon it: "I saw the man who was sitting on the red chair, which was sitting beside the door." Japanese syntax is left branching-- "totally contrary to our approach," says Brecht. Thus, the sentence above becomes something along the lines of: "I saw the red, which was the chair, which was....." You get the idea.

While exceedingly difficult, mastering Japanese is not impossible for English speakers, Brecht concedes. "There are thousands of students in our classes at SAIS who learn to function in Japan. It takes really good students and a lot of devotion."

Answer 7

English. Because of the multiple uses of a word. A word (ex dance) can be used as a verb, noun, adjective etc. Whereas other languages wil have different versions of the word so it's more understandable.

Answer 8

Surprisingly its English. There are more words in the English language than any other language. There are also more idioms etc that make the language hard to understand. Even people who grow up with English as their only language have difficulty with it.

Answer 9

They say that the hardest language to learn is English.
