What language is the most difficult to learn around the world? I think that both of Chinese and Russian are difficult; nevertheless, I think that there must be some languages that are more difficult than the two languages. The reason why most people think that the two languages are is because the two languages are main cultures in the world. So, tell me what is the most difficult langauge in the world. Ich danke Ihnen.

It depends what you speak.
I'll speak for myself, based on the languages I studied.
My main languages are English and Spanish
Here is a list of languages that are easiest to toughest, in my opinion:
1 - French (pretty easy grammar, but tricky pronunciation)
2 - Dutch (close to English, but pronunciation will give you a sore throat)
3 - tie between Danish/Swedish/Norwegian
4 - Icelandic (complicated noun system)
5 - German (it's complicated, but regular. it get's boring after a while)
6 - Russian (use a different alphabet, but its quite easy to memorize)
7 - Japanese (grammar is not as hard as you think, but learning the characters is a nightmare)
8 - Chinese (pretty tough)
9 - Basque (it's not that it's difficult, but it's very, VERY different from every other language)
10 - Arabic (a complete nightmare. rented an arabic book out of curiosity from the library -- I didn't make it past the first chapter. tough as hell. requires serious dedication)

For English speakers Chinese is the hardest to learn. This is because they use a different tonal system and a writing system which is not only completely different visually, but also isn't phonetic - so you have no idea from how it's written how it could be pronounced. Just after Chinese comes Japanese, Arabic and Finnish (and it's related languages, Icelandic, Estonian and Hungarian, meaning this is probably a particularly difficult language group) - and Russian isn't much behind them.
For non-English speakers English is easy to get the basics of, but very hard to master, due to its strange verb forms and incredibly weird spelling.

Well, find out that statistics show that the languages the hardest to learn worldwide,due to their grammar, are considered #1Japanese, #2 Hungarian. Somewhere at the bottom of the list they placed English. Other languages that are really difficult are Russian, German, Chinese and Romanian. I myself learned English quite easily, though I do not live in a country with English as an official language. Your grammar is really really simple comparing to that of my mother tongue. My opinion:)

This would work best if you can ride the horse without your instructor because she seems to be clashing with you. A good way to train stubborn horses is with the 'ask, tell, remand' method. Ask the horse to trot by using your 'ideal cues',maybe a cluck and squeeze with your legs. If no response, give him a kick and sharply say trot. If still no response kick him and get after him until he trots off. Always ask in this way and you will begin to give him a chance to do the right thing. When you 'demand' something of him, make it unpleasant enough that he never wants you to have to demand from him again. Eventually, he will start to respond on your first try. Always give him three chances. Only give him three chances. Good luck. If you can't ride this horse and school him on your own, talk this method over with the instructor and see what she thinks about it. Ideally, this could help him be more responsive for other riders as well.

The most difficult language is Japanese, cause it has levels according to your hierarchy. In addition women don't use the same words men.do
I guess

Your difficulty in learning a language depends, greatly, on what languages you already know.
