Hardest language to learn
Hi everyone,
Blog "Citizens of the world"
What is the Hardest language to learn?
1.Extremely Hard: The hardest language to learn is: Polish
2.Very Hard: Finnish, Hungarian, and Estonian
3.Simply Arduous: Ukrainian and Russian
4.Challenging contender jockey for position: Arabic
5.Fairly Hard: Chinese and Japanese
6.Average: French German
7.Easy: Spanish and Italian
8.Basic to hard: English
English at the basic level is easy but to speak it like a native it’s hard because of the dynamic idiomatic nature.
Formula for difficulty in a language = O*(G+V+(w*.1)+(A*2.0)+S+V(1.5))
Read the article to know why, to know about the arguments: very exciting indeed!

Re: Hardest language to learn
Hi Muriel,
Thanks for asking!
I forgot to give the link! I just repaired the mistake and added German as "Average".
I'm surprised to read "Basic to hard" regarding Englis!
The arguments are the same for any language: it's easy to get the bases, it's difficult to be fluent!

Re: Hardest language to learn
Yes you are right and all the more so when you learn several languages at the same time. You never feel satisfied with yourself.gerardM a écrit:The arguments are the same for any language: it's easy to get the bases, it's difficult to be fluent!
By the way, do you know the polyglot definition ?Mind you, it's a joke.
it is somebody who speaks badly many languages.

Re: Hardest language to learn
Of course it's a joke because everyone knows that when you are bilingual it's easier to learn a second language and when you are trilingual easier to learn a fourth one and so on and so forth.
