Is Arabic or Hebrew harder to learn?

Answer 1

It depends entirely on the person. Most people find Hebrew easier, and some find Arabic easier.

The only clear statement that can be made is that Hebrew is easier to pronounce, if the learner speaks a European language such as English. Hebrew only has a few sounds not found in English, while Arabic has many non-European sounds.

Answer 2

It depends on the person, but Hebrew and Arabic are very similar. The main difference is that Modern Hebrew has a more European style pronunciation, so it is easier for English speakers to pronounce.

Arabic maintains many of the original semitic sounds, which are difficult for English speakers.
