is it true that German is the most difficult language in the world??

Answer 1

As it's been stated previously: Again, it depends on your native language.

German is only a Class 2 (difficulty) for an English speaker.

The African "clicking" language is the most difficult for a native English speaker to learn. (it's a Class 5)

Answer 2

Actually Chinese and Japanese are not that difficult of languages. The writing system is of course more complex, but Chinese grammar is quite generic and based on a word order similar to English. Japanese has very different grammar than English but it is quite consistant and only has two irregular verbs. I would assume that the number of irregular verbs would generally make a language more difficult to learn because more would have to be memorized and couldn't be learned in bulk.
I've always heard that English and Russian have the most irregularities because of the number of borrowed words and would probably then be the most difficult

Answer 3

I do not believe. I've learnt English and now am I studding German. At the beginning is very difficult to me mostly because German is not so widely spoken like English, which everybody is acquainted due to the media. However, after a month or so, it became easier, even easier than English. It's pronunciation and spelling are more regular than English. And a rigid grammar make sentences building easier
I reckon it'd be far more easier to a native English speaker like yours

Answer 4

To answer this question you should try to study Russian :-)

The total number of words in Russian is DIFFICULT to reckon because of the ability to agglutinate and create manifold compounds, diminutives.Philologists have estimated that the language today may contain as many as 350,000 to 500,000 words.Also Russian language is replete with many hundreds of proverbs and sayings. But the most complicated thing about this language is GRAMMAR.

Answer 5

It depends on your native language, the people with whom you can practice the language, and your affinity with the German culture. Each language has its diffiulties, and depending on your background you are most likely to find at ease learning one rather than the other. Arabic, Chinese or French can be extremely difficult too, but you may be more motivated to learn one of these as they are more widely spoken.

Answer 6

People have different views on things. It also depends on the language you speak. If you speak English, you're most likely going to end up finding Spanish & French easy.

But it's a proven fact that Icelandic is probably the hardest language in the world...

Answer 7

When in goes about European languages French seems to be the most difficult for me.
In my opinion Arabic, Chinese and Japanese are the most difficult languages - because of different alphabets.

Answer 8

I do not think so...Russian is very difficult and then we have the oriental languages (Chinese, Japanese) all of which are much harder to learn than German.

Answer 9

nein, deutsch is gar nicht ferzig
no german is totally not hard (loosley translated)

german is a lot like english, swedish, dutch, and danish.
pretty easily learned.

ancient Egyption Hyroglifics are MUCH harder and im my opinion so is sanskrit.


p.s. chinese is TOTALLY not the hardeest language. its actually simpeler than english because it doesnt conjugate. the writing system is also not that hard, it just has a lot of characters

Answer 10

Chinese is by far the most complicated language out there. I also agree that it depends on which language you currently speak. If you speak Italian, you'd learn Latin a lot easier than if you spoke Swahili.
