Top 5 hardest lanuages

Answer 1

I think it really depends what your native language is, and how far the languages are removed from your native language in terms of grammar, pronounciation and writing system. Assuming your native language is English, the most difficult European language might be Finnish, because it has a highly complicated grammar. Chinese has a fairly simple grammar, but requires the learner to memorize at least 30 000 characters. Moreover, Chinese is very difficult to pronounce and uses four different tones, which is quite difficult for English-speakers. Japanese has a very complicated grammar, needs a knowledge of two alphabets and over 1000 characters, but is fairly easy to pronounce. So, I would suggest a top 3 for English speakers; 1. Chinese 2. Japanese 3. Finnish
