i think learner who can decide it , by working every hard would be easy . but for me i'm afraid of chinese language and i don't know how to begin it ? i think it's too hard !!!!

i'm glad i grew up with chinese; otherwise, it's a pain in the butt to learn. right now, arabic is a HUGE challenge for me.

chinese, japanese, some semitic languages.

i am not sure....but i think if you study hard.........i cant find the hardest language.haha~~

Hello Gary, I think the most difficult language to learn will be always relative . The one that is the most different from the one you speak as mother tongue or even as second language in its alphabetical set , its grammar , sentence structure etc. The bigger the difference between the language you speak and that you learn in those aspects the harder it will be for you to learn it .It requires more effort to learn the new aspects one is not familiar with and subsequently it will require also more time to achieve any improvement. Certainly Japanese will be easier for a Chinese to learn than for a Russian . French will be easier to learn for an Italian than it is for a Chinese etc...
