What Language Seems Almost TOO Difficult to Learn?

Guest   Mon Apr 07, 2008 12:09 pm GMT
So far we have:

- Chinese
- Navajo
- Tsez
- !Kung
- Basque
- Comanche
- Archi?
- Etruscan
- Northwest/Northeast Causasian
- Aboriginal Australian

It's interesting that all but one of these languages are fairly small and at least somewhat obscure. Most of the "big" langauges other than Chinese aren't on this list (so far).

BTW -- isn't Japanese supposed to be horrifyingly difficult, too (like Chinese)?

THOSE LANGUAGES ARE NOT ACTUALLY DIFFICULT < YOU JUST CHOOSE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE EXOTIC OR UNCOMMON. IT MUST BE BASED ON ACTUAL OBJECTIVE DIFFICULTY. DO NOT SQUIRM TO ESCAPE THE QUESTION, ACCEPT THE TRUTH AND ANSWER WITH NO OUNCE OF DECEIT. THENK YOU AND GOODBYE, FAITHFUL SUBJECTS.

Look at your own language first. 90% of people learning a foreign language don't know his own native one well

Spanish AAHAHAH!!! I can't decide between Spanish and English as the easiest one
Guest   Thu Apr 10, 2008 8:17 pm GMT
Of course English is easier. English verbs are trivial.

It's farting. Try to ask whatever by farting and try to be understood. You'll realize it's the most difficult language. It's so obvious
