I would say that for an English speaker, a Chinese language/dialect would be among the hardest to become fluent.
For the easiest, I would vote for Esperanto.

Japanese is the most difficult for native English speakers.
Japanese is in the category III (languages which are exceptionally difficult for native English speakers). To learn Japanese you will need 2200 class hours (and 4 hours per day of directed self-study x 88 weeks).
The easiest, I don`t know may be Afrikaans or Dutch.

They say spanish is the easiest to learn as well as any of the Romatic Languages (French Itallian Latin ect.)
Mandirid Chiness and the other asian languages are said to be the hardest.
Personally I prefer the Latin and Greek Languages since over half of American English has derivitives Comming from them(ex. cannine frater victoria tyrranus ect...)
God bless and good luck

The easiest might be a romance language--Spanish or Franch. The hardest would be Chinese, Hungarian or Russian.

Hard for who to be taught? For English audio system, I've heard that the Romance languages, chiefly Spanish and Italian, don't seem to be too complex to be taught. I studied Italian and it wasn't too unhealthy. These languages are very phonetic and feature few abnormal verbs. Dutch may be now not unhealthy considering it is vitally very similar to English, despite the fact that it is vitally abnormal. It's simply abnormal within the equal manner English is. Any language that has declensions might be very complex for an English speaker to grasp. Among European languages, Finnish is among the toughest to be taught considering it has 26 (!) declensions. Plus it's not Indo-European so it would not have many cognates with English like Spanish or German could. People I understand who've attempted to be taught person-established languages like Japanese and Chinese consider the ones forms are the toughest for English audio system to be taught considering the writing procedure is so thoroughly distinct; it isn't even an alphabet. Plus Chinese is tonal, which makes it outstanding complex for English audio system. Vietnamese may be tonal, however a minimum of it makes use of a Roman alphabet like English. However, Korean is it sounds as if now not too rough to be taught seeing that it honestly is an alphabet. It appears adore it has characters like Chinese, however it is simply the way in which Koreans organize letters into phrases. Also Korean isn't a tonal language, which makes it a bit of less complicated. So my bet (sorry I haven't any citations, simply private revel in with plenty of individuals who have studied different languages) is that Chinese is the toughest language for an English speaker to be taught. Among Asian languages, Korean is not too hard to be taught. Among European languages, Finnish is the toughest to be taught, and Spanish, Italian, or Dutch quite often the simplest.
