Maybe German too, it only looks hard, maybe it fits in somewhere between this lot....

What a stupid question! Are you an American?

I reckon It all depends on your mother tongue... For a Russian Polish is much easier than all the above languages.. so your question is silly....

Yes I'm an American, oh wait no I am English. All the same though, innit?

Surely, French can't be all that much harder than Spanish. It's gotta be within a few positions of Spanish on this list.

This is ridiculous! French can't be the hardest one and it's not much harder than Spanish and Italian. Just a French might have written such a bullshit. Besides Afrikaans is much harder than English?? It's probably the most simplified language from a grammatical point of view. As a matter of fact I don't think French is harder than Englisn on the whole so....

Anyone who thinks that Afrikaans in harder than English or Spanish is crazy. The same goes for anyone who thinks that French is harder than German. That's just laughable.

the only difficult thing about French is how to pronounce those ugly nasal vowels . Also you must sound gay, but that is easy if you are gay already.
