What is the Hardest Language to learn?
Did you ever wonder ‘what is the hardest language to learn?’ If you have ever spent time studying a foreign language, you may have thought at one point that you had chosen the most difficult language to learn. But is that just temporary frustration talking, or is there really one language that is harder to learn than all the others? i think Rosetta Stone software is helpful for you !
No one can contest that New York City is a very culturally diverse part of the world. Storefront signs, billboards, print ads and media are available in more languages than one can learn in a lifetime. A drugstore in
Ridgewood, Queens has a sign with the phrase “We speak” in six languages catering to the multicultural aspect of the zip code: Italian, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Serbian and Romanian. An average monolingual English speaking person could probably recognize the Spanish and Italian because Spanish is a common language learnt in schools and Italian is very similiar.
There are lots of factors that make a language hard or easy to learn. The most important is what
your native language is – the language you grew up speaking. This will have the greatest impact on
how you learn languages. Other factors are – learning a new alphabet or writing system, new grammar
rules and strange new sounds to make.
It’s really a combination of actual characteristics of a language and your own personal
experience. But if the majority of people agree that one language is hardest to learn, then it
probably is. I take a survey on my website and the vast majority of people seem to choose the
hardest language based on what their native language is. Although many who Speak English as a second language choose it as the most difficult language, it is not the most popular choice.
English is my native language and I have an opinion on where English stands in relation to other
languages. I think that English is an easy language to learn to speak badly but a difficult language
to speak well. I also think that writing English properly is very difficult and that is where people
have the most difficulty with English. But I also don’t think that English is the most difficult
language. There are lots of better candidates for that.
The overwhelming favorite for most people is Chinese. There are two main reasons for this. It’s not
the grammar because Chinese grammar is actually quite easy. It’s the tones. The same word can be
said in four different tones and have four different meanings. That’s just Mandarin Chinese. In some
other dialects (like Cantonese) there can be up to nine distinctly different tones! This makes this
language very difficult for someone to learn if it is not their native language.
The other reason Chinese is so difficult is the traditional writing system that is still widely in use. There is a different symbol for every word! This makes even a basic vocabulary of a few thousand words very difficult to learn to read and write.
There are other candidates for the Most Difficult Language to Learn such as Arabic, Russian,
Japanese, Finnish, Hungarian, Navajo and many others. what do you think? Fill out the Hardest Language to Learn Survey and get a chance at a free giveaway of a
