The difficulty of learning a language depends on a number of factors, including your native language. And there are different opinions on how to judge the difficulty of a language.The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) has created a list to show the approximate time you need to learn a specific language as an English speaker. Latin is not on that list, perhaps because it's a language without native speakers, but most of the common romance languages that came from Latin are in category I (the easiest for English speakers to learn.)

Here are some user opinions on the topic:

  • Yes it's a very easy language to learn. all you have to do is pay attention and believe you can do it. Simple as that.
  • Not at all. I'm learning French, German and Latin at the moment and Latin is by far the hardest. But it can be done if you pay attention, work hard and believe. Go for it!
  • No, it's not easy - you have to learn a lot of grammar rules (Latin is quite complex) and words (maybe they sound familiar - maybe not at all). But if you want to have an insight to western culture it's highly worth it. And - even if somebody may disagree - it will be much easier for you to learn any Latin language spoken today... Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese.
  • It depends on how you see a language. I am dutch and I learned Dutch, German, French, English, Greek and Latin. Latin is, in my opinion, by far the most easiest language. Many people will use the argument that the grammar rules are complex, but grammar = logic and logic = easy. Most grammar is very obvious (logic) and will be just as hard as maths; that is: If you understand it, it is a piece of cake. if you don't: Expect a hard time. Also if you can do Latin, you will never be surprised by other grammar rules, because you all had them in Latin, the mother of modern languages.
