    I would say "easy" languages could be tricky. As native Russian speaker, I started to learn Czech (both are slavic, which means similarity on the level of 70-85%). That was sooooo easy to start understand and speak Czech, but when it comes to accuracy and B1+ levels. Your native language starts to interfer and that's annoying. There is a lot of stuff which is a bit different from one language to another and you need not to learn, but relearn things. Btw, the easiest language for me to learn is Japanese, I don't know why, but it was SOOOOO easy

    Polyglot myself. Fluency in 9 languages. But let’s be real, there are plenty of languages that are objectively hard. And there are plenty of people who find even their own languages extremely difficult. Russians struggle with their extremely complex grammar. Chinese have a miserable time writing their own characters and so on. But you do make some very good points.

  • @LancesArmorStriking

    That's true, but at that point, whatever level the average Russian or Chinese gets to... _is_ the standard for fluency. So it doesn't matter if every Turk only learned "half" of Turkish, that would be the real Turkish language, then. So that factor shouldn't be considered when ranking how hard a language is, since if even native speakers can't get it right, nobody will be expecting you too, either. I think what she meant was that 'hard' has more to do with your own proximity to the language. A Wenzhouneze will certainly have an easier time with Mandarin than an Australian. And a Russian will find Bulgarian easier than a Nigerian.

My native languages are English and Turkish as I'm half Irish and Turkish, but I've also lived in Spain, Germany and Switzerland so I know German and Spanish. Also I can translate Latin texts bc it's mandatory at the schools I've so far studied at.

    My friend, please look for "Не Учите Русскую Грамматику!" video. It's about 5 minutes, and i can approve that as russian. You can easily start speak with just huge vocabulare, because word order is free and every russian-speaker will understand you. And then polish rules, declension, and so on.

    The thing with chinese, japanese is that the writing system probably takes up a lot of time to learn, and maybe getting to a good level without fully dominating writing by hand (which I think is the most difficoult), Identifying a 漢字 is not that difficoult, but knowing exactly which character to write is. Thats why I would mostly focus on reading and being able to write on a computer.

I probably will mostly use my phone to write Japanese which is much easier to do than writing in Japanese. The thing that scares me is all the sounds 1 kanji can make. I don’t have that big of a brain to remember all those sounds 😭 I’ll figure it out.

    @@Karmynnd It is very similar to memorizing the spellings of words in english, I'd recomend learning words and how to write/read them rather than memorizing all the readings a kanji can have. There are no actual rules to which exact sound to use in each case and you will end up memorizing which reading of each character is used in each word anyway. This vocabulary aproach is far more natural and easy. Japanese kids start knowing every word and then they are taught how to write them, it is not like they have to figure out how a word sounds (most of the time)

    You don't need to learn how to write Japanese until later on once you've inputted enough Japanese into your mind through immersion. All you need to do with the alphabet in the beginning is to learn how to read, since you have to know that for the purposes of searching up and remembering vocabulary. Learning how to read is EXTREMELY easy, don't worry about speed aswell since it'll come later. Edit: This doesn't account for Kanji, learning Kanji is a different thing to learning the Kanas lol. But imo even if Kanji is more difficult to learn, it's not as hard as people say since it's basically for the most part synonymous with learning vocabulary as you immerse in native content.

Because the English language have almost no declensions, if you said: the cat is chasing the ball you know because of the word order who is chasing what not because of the declensions, in the English language only the pronouns and the genitive case are to some degree still present, the other cases are not. In other languages the word ball could have an inflection following the accusative case considering the ball is the direct object of the phrase. Like in English, when you say mother's that "s" means that something belongs to someone, that would be an example of the genitive case, depending on the language there are many more.

    I'd point out that difficulty in langauge learning, in my experience, is largely a product of mental flexibility and the ability to understand systems "outside of oneself." I would characterise language learning not dramatically different from philosophy. I think that's the most useful skill in learning a language, because both philosophy require a person to break down ideas and create a sort of ... flexible cognition. That ability to take something you "know" and turn it over in your mind until you can understand all of its possibilities. I speak... enough languages, and one thing I really find fulfilling is learning Germanic languages. Because it lets me see words that exist across a number of languages that have slightly different meanings and it really gives a robust understanding of the concept behind them as you trace the route it took to have a crystallised meaning. That gives language a tremendous flexibility and a mastery concepts. It's really the same breaking down into the essential components and really LISTENING to what is actually being said instead of the short-hand we give it, to increase funcationality. Too often we try to graph a priori understanding onto a language and it causes difficulty. Like when people try to understand は particle. So many people try to understand it as "is" because they are unable to unshackle their brain an perceive the possibility of non-latin grammar. They see the world so rigidly that they place themselves under rules that actually have no sway over them or what they are capable of; it's like the story of the elephant and the stake. A young elephant held in place by a wooden stake will, as an adult, never challenge the wooden stake, having learned as a child that it can't pull it out of the ground.

After watching several videos of foreigners trying to speak russian, I'd say the main struggle, that separates all of them from sounding nearly natural (other than the pronunciation of course), is the use of gendered words. If you could just fix that single mistake, you could be easily mistaken for a native russian speaker who just lived in another country for far too long.

"У меня болит голова" звучит как на приёме у врача, обычно говорят проще: "голова болит" (понятно что своя, чужая болеть не может). Ну и для связи с предыдущим можно использовать частицу - *"Аж* голова болит". Всё это по сути мелочи, которые сами придут при достаточной практике.

    I think the reason why western people think asian languages are so difficult (ex. Chinese, japanese) is because those languages don't use the alphabet. And actually some of Asia countries share the words. Of course they have different character. But in terms of pronunciation. Teacher is [sensei] in japanese, and [sunsang] in korean. Idk if the people will consider those are similar, but in asian perspective, there's a lots of similar point. Also the amount of time that you have to spend when you learn the foreign language, which is easily founded in the Internet, is researched by someone who speaks English as a first language. So what I wanted to say is that I think the difficulty really depends on their own first language Lol I don't even know why I'm writing this

However I think it’s important to mention the 3 most relevant factors that will determine how fast you can reach fluency: age, exposure and experience. As a language teacher who have taught both adults and teenagers as young as 11 years old, I can assure you the difference is huge , mainly in terms of pronunciation and memorization. Exposure plays a big factor as well, living in the country where your target language is primarily spoken in addition to having access to content or entertainment, can help you understand the culture faster, which, as you mentioned, it’s key to master a language.

    I believe how fast you learn is also drive by your passion for that target language and why you want to learn it. I only speak two languages (English and Thai); my wife is Thai so I have a genuine interest in the language, culture, and so forth, so it's easy to saturate myself in the language daily. So it goes back to having your 'why.' If you're just learning another language to 'check the box' or for the sake of learning another language, you may find it takes you longer (that's just my experience, anyway)

    Certainly a person’s mother tongue plays a huge role in what will be “difficult” for them in another language. As a Turkish speaker, Uzbek will practically be a game for you, (even if you need to learn more Persian vocabulary and more subtle shades of relationship with information reported than the Turkish -mış). Japanese, though unrelated, will still feel fairly familiar in structure. An Indo European speaker will have to work harder to get their heads around it. But I think there’s another layer that is frequently overlooked in these discussions. Beyond structure, there is the “density“, the amount of information that is encoded in the language and its structure. For example, in a language like Vietnamese, grammar is relatively simple but you have many choices of pronouns to learn, which speak volumes about your and another person‘s status. In English, that simply isn’t a feature. Even Turkish, where there are informal and formal verb conjugations, and some older ways of showing deference, has nothing to compare with that. Beyond merely learning words, you also have to learn a big chunk of culture to gain a native sense of what word to use for whom, in what situation. Another example: If you are a speaker of Turkish, or any into European language, or most Asian language is even, there are distinct words for verbs of motion like “go“ and “come;” “take“ and “bring.“ Contrast that with an Athabascan language like Navajo: A verb of motion must necessarily include specific information about that movement. From close to me to close to you? From 1 Distant Pl. to another distant place? From a distant visible place to another place out of sight? And if we’re talking about bringing or taking something, what is the characteristic of that thing. Is it soft, like cotton? Is it a single living object like a baby? Is it inanimate, like a rock? Is it tied together in a bundle, like sticks? Or perhaps it’s something that flows but it’s dry, like sand? All of that must necessarily be included in the verb construct. You could probably get along and be understood if you omitted a lot of that, but it would be likely be “Tarzan-ese” to native speakers. So while native speakers do of course learn it naturally, for any non-native, it is a lot more to learn than simply learning the difference between “calm“ and “go,“ or “bring“ and “take,” and non-natives very rarely achieve fluency. If you speak another Athabascan language as your mother tongue, it will definitely be easier, but I think it’s fair to call that a “more difficult“ language, and not from a merely Eurocentric view.

    Another great video, and one I wholeheartedly agree with. As others here have noted, you can have a tremendous advantage in terms of learning certain languages depending on how closely related they are to your native language (Urdu for Hindi speakers, for example, as they are largely mutually intelligible but with different scripts), and find some languages unfamiliar to the point of being daunting (Mandarin Chinese comes to mind). At the end of the day, there's nothing you can't learn with enough hard work and optimisation, and it just boils down to how long it's going to take to reach fluency. Personally, I am bilingual in Hindi and English, speak fluent Korean and am learning Japanese and German, so I can attest to being able to make unexpected links between them in terms of both grammar and vocabulary, and found your own skillset both relatable and inspiring! Edit: At 10:25, that list should say Gujarati, since Gujarat is a state in India and Gujarati is the language ^^

    How difficult a language depends on many factors (which are personal to each individual), but I can say from experience that certain languages are objectively more difficult to learn AND master than others such as Korean and Japanese due to the complexity in grammar. I am a native speaker of a Southeast Asian language so phonemes in Japanese are pretty easy to imitate, but the writing systems and grammar rules such as syntax are still super challenging. I'm more familiar with western languages since I learned and became fluent in English at a very young age; I can easily build my learning strategy from there. However, it gets confusing to learn these western languages visually -- how you pronounce the Roman alphabet (including vows) vary and mispronunciation happens.

    I have not watched the video since I'm at work but the difficulty is not in the language but in oneself. It always will depend on the time you invest getting along with your target language, spending time with it, surrounding yourself in media and other resources, along with learning and relearning the basics and understanding the most advanced grammar as you go. The rest is just your brain making all the connections. Learning a new language as an adult isn't impossible, but it is challenging.The main difference between learning another language as a child/teen is the fact that at that age you don't have as many things to worry about as an adult does, and you have more free time which allows you to spend more time with the language you're learning. I began learning English since I was 11, and to this day (17 years since I began learning now!) still learning new things because of my job as an interpreter! So to you who's trying to learn a new language, don't give up, even if you only have one or two hours a day three days a week to learn something of that language, do it, commit those few hours only to that, and if you notice you forget something relearn it and keep relearning as much as you need, it'll stick soon enough. And also don't pressure/be too hard on yourself if you aren't learning at the speed you'd like to learn, everyone is different and everyone goes at their own pace with the method they choose.

    I agree with most of the points and there’s more to look after for you to learn better. I don’t speak loads of languages myself (only 3) but I utilize this system to explain why some language is hard to learn for some people. I call it “language distance” myself which includes 4 factors: pronunciation, letters, culture/concept and grammar. All of the above factors contribute to difficulty of learning of a certain language base on what you are capable of. Pronunciation and letters are very straight forward. It simply means how many new sounds, letters you need to acquire in the process, but you have to be very careful as some sounds or letters might feel alike but actually different in some way. Grammar refers to how SVO are positioned, how to combine multiple factors of events and how the sentences are structured. Culture/ concept part is the trickiest. Most of the time, you can have word to word translation but they can actually have difference in meaning or scale. Eg 今 in Japanese and 現在 in Mandarine both mean “now” but refer to slightly different time span that is enough to cause confusion. Also usage of similar words can be used in totally different situation. The 2 examples above can already hurt your brain as hell. Let go words that you can’t translate.
