As a native Japanese, English is probably the most difficult language to master. Japanese and English are conceptually and linguistically so different, translation method simply doesn't work, which is pretty tough for me.

[@entitledbobcat]

I’m not sure if you translated this on your own, but good job either way! It looks like you are doing amazing. Better than some native English speakers!

[@lolgamer_102xd3]

you are right , english is really hard to master . for example : eight has a different pronunciation than height although they have the same [eigh] . there are also silent letters , like the k in knight . but don’t worry , you’ll get used to it .

[@aname5729]

Well if you typed this I'm speechless it's well done there aren't any mistakes the grammar is correct the spelling is perfect

[@zaynab4991]

After learning English grammar for years I now know it's the worst way to learn this notorious language, since it's so unlogical...All languages have exceptions in grammar rules but I guess Englihs is the language of exceptions. You can learn it best by listening/ speaking. (watching movies with subtitles works amazing)

[@shivangsrivastava6024]

As a native Indian, for me English is much easier than Japanese 😅 🇮🇳♥️🇯🇵

[@nigdyniezapomne9424]

Hardest language is M.A T.H

[@nigdyniezapomne9424]

@Lehel Balogh ha ha yup

[@user-mrfrog]

"Ég er að læra íslensku" or I am learning Icelandic. Some aspects of the language are complex, for example the definite article and the rolled and voiceless r, but other things are relatively easy! For example, spelling is pretty transparent, word stress always on the first syllable, syntax, descriptive vocabulary... All languages require hard work and time! Takk fyrir og bless bless! :)

I am Hungarian and I don’t understand why foreigners say we produce deep-in-the-throat sounds. I don’t feel I speak deep from my throat when I speak Hungarian. I think people who say these things don’t speak Hungarian themselves at all.

[@takoja507]

Whaat? You have Estonian but not Finnish? They are in the same family of languages... So why not Finnish on the list? Just curious!

[@areloTET]

Don't ask me. Finnish is more complicated and has more ways to conjoin a single word. The language has vowel harmony which is difficult and has no goddamn prepositions nor anything simple to learn. According to WatchMojo Finnish is #5 on the top 10 hardest languages. Estonian isn't even an honorable mentions in the list.

[@stza16]

Mandarin is insanely easy once you get passed the tones.

[@369tayaholic5]

i don't think so, the grammar is superficially very easy but it got tons of nuances actually. It's only that you haven't got to the level.

[@samuelong6314]

The most beautiful language is the 12 million words language (Arabic). أنتَ ، أنتِ ، أنتُما ، أنتُمْ ، أنتُنَّ. In English : you, you, you, you, you. 😂😂😂 For me all the languages in the world are easy to learn, but Arabic is the deepest and the best at describing feelings and emotions and other stuff.

[@nutshell7648]

[@Ida-xe8pg]

Asking which language is the hardest depends upon which language ur comparing it ON like for example if ur a native English speaker it will be hard for you to learn Polish but if you are like for say Kashubian you dont even need to learn the language u just need to talk to some Polish guys for some time u will learn it in like 2 week (Comparing it on the basis of English) I like to categorise them on the basis of Writing system, Phonology and Grammar and the hardest will be a mix of all the factors... *For writing system* of course Hanzi/Kanji from Chinese/Japanese (Korean and Vietnamese also used a version of Hanzi in the past Hanja for Korean and Chu nom for Vietnamese) Another one would be Akkadian/Hittite which is no longer spoken of course *For Phonology* it definitely has to be the Salishan languages those language are *BIZARRE* you get entire sentences snuggled into a single word (unfortunately all of them are endangered), I think the hardest of them all Nuxalk you get words like *clhp'xwlhtlhplhhskwts' (IPA xɬpʼχʷɬtʰɬpʰɬːskʷʰt͡sʼ)* (I told you) (And no vowels!) and it means 'then he had in his possession a bunchberry plant.' *For Grammar* I think it should be based on the language which has the most Noun cases and that reward goes to Ithkuil with *96 matafa-ing* noun cases but that is a Constructed language so it doesn't count ig, the natural language with the most noun cases is Tsez's impressive 64 cases *Overall* I think its Ithkuil which is just made to be hard and well its an constructed language... *SO IT DOESNT COUNT!?!!,* out of the natural languages the Salishan languages especially Nuxalk are *THE* hardest as I told you they are extremely polysynthetic so basically the complete opposite of English, rest of the grammar is also bolz and as I showed you its phonology is.... im not saying.

Icelandic: "archaic vocabulary". What is this supposed to mean for someone who has no clue about that language? This sounds like something told by a native speaker about his own language.

[@ronaldonmg]

It means that icelandic is still very close to "Old Norse", and the icelanders are very serious about keeping it that way. If a new word is needed, they will first look in their own language. If that fails they will look in other northgermanic languages, and only of that fails too, they will consider importing a word from any other language.
