      When I learned English (I mean I tried to) at school and I was like: Nooo I can't it's too hard! (Cuz English and my language are nothing alike)
      After that I learned it (well of course everyone makes mistakes and after all you can always learn something new) just by watching TH-cam and I didn't even realized it untill I started typing comments 😅😂 and my friend who speaks English VERY well was like:
      Wow I never knew you can write comments in English and understand it so well...
      (Cuz I was argued with people on reddit and I shared a screenshot of how dumb one person was 😂)
      I realized that I like learning languages and I started learning Spanish... (I feel like I don't make progress but I know I will I'm just doing it really slowly I'm not trying to rush it)

    • @itsimplyeve
      @itsimplyeve  5 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      Yes, I think it's just more difficult in terms of pronunciation. The Brazilian Portuguese is easier to pronounce since it's more open and melodic. Portuguese from Portugal is very closed that's why to many it sounds more like Russian :)

    I think so too. Arabic is the most difficult language for the western people even Korean people. For korean people, the chinese is not that hard because 90% of nouns originated from chinese characters. However, the french is really complicated in terms of pronunciations and verb conjugations. Anyway, thank you for uploading this video and for stimulating my linguistic desire.

    Yeah, French is quite hard. There are so much rules to follow. Whether it's feminine or masculine it will determine how you conjugate the verbs. Then there are also words that sound the same. Reading helps a lot though!! It won't help much with pronunciation though. And it's true what she said. A lot of French kids are horrible in French. Like in school. They know how to speak it but they don't know how to write it. Also the accents (accents as in signs)might be quite confusing, they change the way you pronounce. If you are thinking of learning French I would recommend that you read French books. But there is something called 'Old French' so you have to be careful what book you choose to read. I also recommend watching French movies or series. Then just find a good study system. Also this is probably crucial but you need something called a ''bescherelle'' (that's the word in French) It's a book that contains all the rules (for verbs) and it shows you how to properly conjugate them and some even give you tips on how to not make a mistake. I hope this helps someone !

    French is definitely one of the hardest languages to learn even for English speakers. If you are grammar fob you should try Malay/Indonesian. No tones, Latin alphabet, no genders and many other grammatical cases are missing. Pronunciation is straightforward. And very funny language(s). The other allegedly hard language is Hebrew. Very logical grammar. A couple of root words than you can build your vocab, pronunciation is easy and the alphabet is different but you need a couple of hours to master it. Everything is systematic in it and there are very few exceptions. You should try it.

      I'm also a Portuguese native speaker and it took me one and a half year to be B2 in German. It's not easy like Spanish or English and I would even say it's harder than French (Even though I wouldn't really say I speak French yet) but it's really not that difficult. I would say the uralic languages are the most difficult, the semitic languages being a close second since they're really hard, especially their written form.

    In English, when you learn a new word, you must remember its pronunciation and spelling. But in Chinese, a word combines two characters that you are familiar with. So when you see a word you don't understand, you can almost guess what it means.

      The hardest part with French is understanding native speakers. Even after reaching an advanced level in French class, many French learners are shocked when they go to France and can barely understand anything that is being said. That’s because, unlike some other languages (say Spanish for example), spoken French sounds like all the words are blended together. It’s actually why the language sounds so pretty because it flows and words are linked together in speech. But it means it’s very hard to hear where one word begins and another word ends when it’s spoken at high speed, unless you are already accustomed to the flow of it. So for example, if someone said a Spanish sentence to me but I didn’t know what one or two words meant, I could still hear and pull out those unknown words and possibly look them up. (I might even be able to transcribe an entire Spanish sentence without knowing the meaning of a single word.) With French, it’s much harder to even identify where the word breaks are so you can’t look it up.
      Obviously, everything changes with listening practice. There comes a time where at some point, your brain just “clicks” and French comprehension mode gets activated and you are able to finally breakdown the flow of words somewhat. But that takes exposure to a lot of spoken French.
      ** Of course, added to the issues with word blending, as she mentions in the video there are many many homophones in French due to silent letters or verb conjugations that sound alike but are written differently. So it’s just an additional hurdle to comprehension for non-native learners.
      Reading French is fairly easy though once you’ve studied it a little bit.

      @@susie2251 I understand what you mean. I have yet to been to France since studying the language but I am going in the summer but I am a bit worried that I won't understand people. I find the listening exercises in class the most difficult as it is and I'm assuming that in France people will speak even faster. But after all visiting a country where they speak the language you are studying is one of the best ways to improve.

      sophie cackett There are a few tips for your trip that might help because modern spoken French is really different from textbook or written French too.
      1. In spoken French, it’s rare to use inversion or even “est-ce que” for questions like we are taught in school. Most people just use normal sentences and use rising intonation at the end to indicate it’s a question. So instead of “Êtes-vous américain?”, it’s just “Vous êtes américain?” Or “tu fais quoi?” instead of “que fais-tu?”
      2. The ne is almost always dropped in negative sentences. So just “je sais pas”.
      3. French people uses a ton of shortened words and contractions to be able to speak fast. That’s the hardest part for a foreigner really. So instead of “tu as faim”, you will hear “t’as faim” for example. And instead of “je suis” you might hear something closer to “shuis” because the two words just get blended together.
      I’ve found a few TH-cam channels of French teachers you might want to check out. They teach only in French and try to help people with more natural, spoken French. They are Français avec Pierre, Français Authentique, and innerFrench. They have subtitles if you aren’t at an intermediate level yet. And a website called “French Today”, the teacher emphasizes helping people understand spoken French. (ETA, I guess French Today also has a TH-cam channel. I didn’t know.)

      I lived in Tanzania during my childhood in Arusha and picked it up, and it’s broadly grammatically similar to Zulu and Swati; Tswana was a consequence of being in Gauteng for so long; French because I go to central and west Africa quite often, then Spanish because it’s so similar to French (not to mention much easier than French or Portuguese).

    I'm learning Hebrew, and even though it has an alphabet, it's not easy to read! The alphabet only includes consonants and they use dots below the letters to indicate the vowel sounds (also to differentiate between letters such as b/v, p/f). But beyond about first grade, they stop using the dots. So the whole language is basically only read by word recognition. So as an adult, it's very difficult to learn to read! Which sucks for me because I am such a visual learner. I picked up Spanish a lot quicker just by recognising/looking up/memorising words all around me.
    Oh, and don't even get me started on the grammar! At first glance it seems simple because there are only three tenses and the words have roots so are meant to be quite formulaic. But actually there are so many groups of verbs, all with different formulas - and to be honest, some different verb groups are actually just like using a new tense. So if each verb has 28 conjugations, and there is a new verb for EVERYTHING (eg a different verb for putting on shoes vs. socks. vs clothes, and many words that would be adjectives in English are verbs in Hebrew), that's a LOT of memorisation!
    Anyway, I'm just glad it doesn't really have noun cases :)

    Interesting! I don’t even know where to begin. Let me start with Arabic. I will also end with Arabic. What you say about Arabic is true; it is called diglossia whereby people use two different registers of a language, a formal one and an informal depending on the situation. Arabs will discuss family affairs in their dialects but will discuss subjects such as politics, philosophy, religion, and science in formal Arabic. But this is true of virtually all languages including French and English. A university professor and a street gangster will not use the same language although they could, by and large, understand each other. But from what I have read this phenomenon is not unique to Arabic but exists also particularly in German, Chinese, and Greek. This condition might, however, be more pronounced in Arabic as the Arab people are spread in vast geographical areas.
    I am truly surprised to hear you (who speaks Portuguese and Spanish) rank French after Chinese in the level of difficulty. I agree: you nailed it right in the head. The tones and characters represent the utmost challenge in learning Chinese. But I would argue that if you put the same effort in learning the Chinese tones and characters as you devote to learning French, you would have fully mastered that latter language.
    Now let me tell why the Arabic language is relatively easy to learn:
    1. The alphabet is extremely easy. Anybody can learn it in a week (the challenge is only in the pronunciation of certain letters especially the emphatic ones and with some practice, this is not insurmountable and can be learned in a short time);
    2. Arabic has only three vowels: a, e and u (approximately) that can also be elongated;
    3. Arabic is based on the root system. If one learns some basic roots, one can derive the meaning of many words that share the same root if one understands the very logical and almost mathematical structure of Arabic words even if one has never seen those words before;
    4. The Arabic verbs (and their participles and gerunds) by and large follow 10 different molds (the others are rarely used in modern standard Arabic) which can be easily memorized and applied to all the verbs;
    5. The Arabic conjugation is deceptively simple. There is virtually no irregularity in Arabic;
    6. Arabic has two major tenses: past and present (from which the future can be easily constructed)
    Now, if one wants to learn Arabic one needs to choose between formal Arabic (which I recommend) and colloquial Arabic. With formal Arabic one can be understood anywhere in the Arab world, read books and newspapers, follow the news on radio and television and listen to speeches by scholars. In my experience, those who learn the colloquial languages are those Arabs living abroad and wanting to learn the language of their parents. I have also met development workers such as Peace Corps volunteers who were learning colloquial Arabic because they were going to serve in the remote areas of the Arabic world where the populations would be less educated.
    Let me also add that it would take little time to somebody who has mastered standard Arabic to transition to the local registers of Arabic if needed especially if one travels to those areas where colloquial Arabic is spoken.
    That said I very much enjoy your videos.

    I am actually surprised that French was such a challenge for her since I understand that she was fluent in German first. With German should would have had the experience of the nasal sound. Also b/c of the english cognates in French, I could not imagine it be so challenging for her. Interesting. For me the difficult languages would be anything that does not have english related characters like Arabic, chinese, hindu , etc. Or those languages with english characters but they have absolutely no relation to the english sound, Albanian, Twi, etc.
