I think Latin is the most difficult language to learn because people don't use it a lot nowaday.\n\nLatin is a member of the Italic branch of the Indo-European family of languages. After the decline of the Roman Empire it continued to be a medium of communication among educated people throughout the Middle Ages in Europe and elsewhere, and remained the liturgical language of the Roman Catholic Church until the reforms of the second Vatican Council (1962-5); it is still used for scientific names in biology and astronomy. The Romance languages are derived from it. (The New Oxford Dictionary)

english is the most complicated language because of all the rules so i think it would be hard to learn it online.

From what I've learned in linguistics, no (spoken) language is "easier" or "harder" for children to learn. They all learn their native language at the same speed.\n\n(Written language is another matter, of course.)

Well, I agree that Chinese and Japanese (along with other languages that use only characters to represent an entire word) would be the most difficult. \n\nHowever, speaking only of languages that use alphabets, I would say Russian and English. English because modern speakers constantly use figurative language, and we have more homonyms and homographs than any other language I have known. Russian, because it has even more letters than the English alphabet, and there are very many rules that modify entire words based on their gender, despite the absence of articles (i.e., a, an, or the).

French is a lot easier. Take it from a singer. I've had to learn Italian and German. Those where the two hardest for me. Chinese from what I've heard from people is a little tougher. Choose what u think is comfy for u.

English is one of the hardes languages to learn because it has 44 vowel sounds made up of different combinations of letters it makes writing very difficult because you need to know the correct rules. I would suggest you look at a book store for an English Grammar book to help you. Good Luck!

English is regarded as the most difficult, due to its huge number of words (up to 200,000), complexity of grammar (derived from both Latin and Germanic) and haphazard rules.\n\nBy comparisom, Japanese is NOT difficult. It looks complicated because it is written differently from English, and yes, there are about 4,000 characters to learn in everyday use. But it's not that hard to learn spoken Japanese. The grammar is simple and the rules are very consistent.\n\nKind regards.

Many people think that the difficulty of learning a language depends on whether that language is similar to your native language or not.  By that reasoning, it would depend on what the person's native language is.\n\nIn my personal opinion, I think that all languages have some difficult and some easy features.  However, the way that English is often taught in countries outside of the United States, Canada, and England is not as effective as the language teaching methods that many teachers in those countries are using for teaching all languages.  Hopefully as the English teaching profession continues to develop in other places, English learners in other countries will benefit from our most current knowledge about how to help people learn.

First, I'm a U.S. Citizen from birth, English is my first language.  I also speak Esperanto, Spanish, and German. \n\nPros:  \n\nLazy people don't have to make the effort to learn a second language.\n\nCons:\n\nEnglish is a difficult language to learn as a second language because of the excessive number of gramatical rules, and the massive number of exceptions to those rules.  It would take someone years to become fluent in English unless they are  extremely talented at learning languages.

I would say Italian. I have learned French and Spanish, and Italian is pretty much the same as Spanish. I found Spanish much easier to learn than French, although I learned French before Spanish. Grammar and pronounciation is easier.

No its not true. English is one of the easiest languages to learn, almost anybody can be perfect at it because its gramma is too easy and the sounds of the words is also easy to learn. The most diffecult languages are Arabic and Chinese, their writing and grama including their sounds are one of a kind.

You have to use your mouth and tongue in order to speak any language...as far as English is concerned it is the easiest language to learn ....it is convenient language to express our views...thus the great man Chkravarthi Rajagopalachaari said" English is a gifted language of Goddess Saraswathi"

It sounds like you are.  Good for you; it's a hard language to learn.

Everything! :-)\n\nThe vocabulary is pretty difficult.  There is so much of it and sometimes what you say in English isn't exactly the same as it is in another language. \n\nPronunciation is also difficult because there are sounds that are difficult to produce or even to detect!\n\nAnd grammar is a whole new ball game. The language you learn may follow a different word order, have new tenses, and treat adjectives like verbs (like Japanese!).

Spanish is the easier language to learn. It is spelled phonetically and pronunctiation is very easy to learn. There are Spanish speakers on every continent, I believe.\nFrench is more difficult to learn, but advantageous if you are going to a country where it is spoken.
