Top 10 hardest languages to learn?

Assuming that you mean for a native english speaker, then the hardest languages to learn are the ones most radically different from English. I can't really give you a top 10 list because the order of difficulty would depend on who his learning and there are just too many languages in the world and no good way to measure difficulty. The hardest languages for an English speaker to learn are native American languages sub as Navajo, Nahuatl, and Inuit, all three are known to be extremely difficult for anyone who didn't grow up with a Native American language. Aside from Native American languages Korean, Basque, Finnish, and native Australian and African languages would also be very difficult for the average English speaker. It would actually be much easier to make a top ten easiest list of languages to learn. Contrary to popular belief German would be nowhere near the top ten hardest languages, infact it would be high up in the top ten easiest languages due to it's close relation to English. Russian is definitely not an easy language to learn, but it is also nowhere near as difficult as Navajo or Korean. Mandarin also isn't as hard as people make it out to be, aside from the writing system it is relatively easy for an east Asian language.
