in your opinion what is the hardest languages to learn and what are the easiest?

Answer 1

In my opinion All languages contain things that don't make sense and you have to throw a tantrum.
I'd have to say tho that to me Spanish and French - easy
Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Polish - hard
Basically any language that looks like letters but really isn't and any language that uses symbols rather than letter I think will take more time to learn.
For instance with Spanish and French the alphabet is the same as the language I already speak, you just pronounce them differently.

Answer 2

I'd say the hardest language to learn is Arabic.. To me the easiest was English..

Answer 3

As far as western languages, I'd say that English is the hardest. I am a native English and Spanish speaker and I have travelled a lot. It seems to me that Spanish, French, Italian, etc. all have very specific rules for pronunciation. If you learn those rules, you can read and pronounce anything.

With English, there is an almost complete lack of rules. Sometimes you pronounce a letter, sometimes you don't. The vowel sounds are the hardest to learn because there are very difficult to hear variations in the sound. For example, "e" is pronounced one way in one word and totally different in another word. Pronunciations of the same word also vary. Look at the words "close" as in "near" and "close" as in "shut"

That weirdness just doesn't happen in other launguages....not in my experience.
