in my opinion it is harder to learn a language like Turkish because since we have the same alphabet our letters make different sounds so you might get confused... and, I can speak Hindi, but I'm learning to write it... and since the letters are so different I do not get confused

How are the Phoenician alphabet and cuneiform writting different?

the Phoenician alphabet had symbols to represent consonant sounds, like the alphabet we have now. Cuneiform has symbols to represent full words, not consonant sounds, so it's a lot harder to learn.


Are some languages harder to learn than others?

Yes, some languages are considered harder to learn than others due to differences in grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. Factors such as language family, phonetics, and writing system can also affect the complexity of a language for learners. Personal interest and motivation can play a significant role in overcoming the challenges of learning a new language.


Is piglatin a real language?

Who has the easiest time learning a second language?

Overall children have an easier time learning a second language, there is the theory of a "critical period" where after puberty it starts to get harder to learn a language. But for adults it depends what you're first language is and what language you plan on learning because most languages fall into families. English is germanic, but heavily influenced by french. French, and Spanish as well as other romance languages are probably the easiest for an English speaker, followed by germanic languages that aren't extremely different grammatically like Swedish, and Norwegian. Languages like russian, and croatian are different but still in the indo european family so it could be worse. The harderst languages are those that are not related in any way to european languages like Chinese, arabic, and bantu languages.


Is Greek harder to learn than French?

Why is Jewish teaching hard for children that are young?

The main concern is that in most cases it's an unfamiliar language (Hebrew) with a non-European alphabet. If the children never hear it spoken/taught/reviewed at home, it makes it harder. Religion-wise, if the parents send the kids to learn Judaism but don't practice it themselves, it will create a conflict for the youngsters, who will find it hard to be motivated in their study.

Is French easier than polish?

Both Polish and French have their difficulties. This is also a matter of personal background. French vocabulary is reasonably easy to learn for an English speaker. Polish is a Slavic language (close to Czech or Slovak), which can make it harder to master, but has the advantage to use the Latin alphabet instead of the Cyrillic one used in Russian.
