hmm.... what about hindu. thats hard. you would have to learn to make all those sounds. Latin is also pretty hard b/c it has like 180 ways to say one word. theres subjunctive, indicative, masculine, feminine, neutur, plu perfect, perfect, imperfect, present, oh and then it can be changed into a participle or a gerundive, oh and i can't forget passive pefect and active and all those other things. i'm goning to die if there is another way to say a word.
English is the hardest language to learn
Maybe you can get help from me an English person. Yes i noticed some wrong grammer. English is even hard for us English
English is the hardest language to learn.
I can´t agree with this statment, sure most people that rushed in to say that it was false ended up corrupting the language, but all languages which arn´t your mother toungue can be just as difficult. Maybe not gramatically but phonetically and if not phonetically, gramatically.
Poor Pluto, mixing up english hospitality and motivation with the truth.

<<English is the hardest language to learn.>>
This does have some truth to it. English is easy, once you pick up how to form a sentance. One of the key points in school is infact forming sentances and phrases, not spelling. You could learn how to spell every word in the English language but it won't get you very far if you form your sentances like "Shop i go today. Spend lots of money shop." I have known people who have come from other countries with a different native language and spoken just like this. They have the words right its just they forget small things like "I WENT to the shop today. 'I' SPENT lots of money AT THE shop." These small words do not exist in some languages or are part of another word and since these words change the other around them this makes english hard. I do have to say though that it is not the hardest language around. If your native-tongue is english anything with the same style characters is easy, but if your native-tongue is english and you try to learn an asian language you will run into a fair bit of trouble as the characters you have used your whole life are not slightly changed or accented they are non-existant. Making it a challange to learn and write these new ones. Well this is my opinion on the subject anyway.

"[I]ts [sic] really hard to learn and heres [sic] proof."
This does not prove that English is hard to learn. It merely proves that English spelling is difficult to learn.

Liz types like an american, then there is British-English, there is a large bridge between the two.
hey I am Anas from Morocco.I've been learning English for barely 2 years on my own.In other words,without getting any help or backing or even a feedback from a tutor .I depended on myself and I assume my english is not bad.So as far as I'm concerned,English is not the hardest language to learn.On contrary,It is the easiest one.(This is just an opinion , you migh disagree with me but it's not important because we're different and each individual has his own point of view)
Hard for whom? For Germans, I would guess it would be one of the easier languages to learn, at least in comparison with Chinese or Arabic. Same alphabet, a lot of words that are very similiar ('haus' to 'house', 'maus' to 'mouse', etc.), not to mention movies, books, and TV everywhere that can help with learning. Compare this with a German/English-speaker studying a sub-dialect of Chinese like Shanghainese: no alphabet at all, not even a vague similarity between the languages, and TV/movies in the language actively discouraged by the government.
Language difficulty depends on what language you start with, in other words, as well as material available.
I am a native english speaker, but some of the best english language speakers I've ever met have been German. Certainly much, much better than most Chinese English learners you find.

Incidentally, native speakers can make grammatical mistakes, easily....or, at least, native speakers who speak 'incorrectly' are considered poorly educated by other native speakers all the time.

Did German branch off of Latin, like English?

No, it branched off Proto-Germanic, like English.
English does *not* come from Latin, like French and Spanish do. It only seems that way because it has borrowed so many words from Latin and French. That is a common misconception.
