🇨🇺Our first Spanish retreat in Cuba is done and was a success! Join us in Cuba this October. All details for round two in CUBA! ➡️ theurbaneve.com/cuba-spanish-retreat/ 🇨🇺
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)
I am from DR Congo and i speak : English, French, Spanish, Russian and Lingala. i am now learning German and Chinese, my goal is 10 languages... I love your videos. 😍
Wow! Keep going! I'm native in 5(my parents are mixed) and down to my upbringing, i can speak 3 more, but i need to improve them☺️. Now I'm trying polish and korean.... It's impossible but I'll try!. Love and support from Australia ☺️😘
@@ayrenbethancourt9379 nothing is impossible... just do your utmost. Motivation is the key, for example Russian and Chinese are the most difficult languages in the world but i am now speaking Russian fluently in just 6 months and i am learning Chinese.
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.
@@TheUrbanEve korean reading and writing is easy because of the stupidly simple alphabet i learned it all in a few hours and could read at a normal pace in a week. Speaking is also easy since korean is spoken like its written expect for a few sound change rules but the grammar is kinda hard. If u have any experience with japanese grammar then korean grammar will be easy for u since they are very similar.
Kyeong Koo Kang So true. Chinese, Japanese and Korean are all interrelated to each other. My parents could even read Japanese newspaper since They’re Chinese.
Portuguese from Portugal it’s difficult to learn. so people who want to learn Portuguese they choose portuguese from brazil that is more easier for foreigners
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 :)
Yes I really understand EVERYTHING from brazilians but portuguese from Portugal changes a lot, I mean, the grammar is almost the same but the accent changes a lot, the same happens with french from Canadá, is easier than french from France
Eu acho o Português de Portugal maravilhoso, me lembra Russo kkkk e como você mesma disse, o Português de Portugal é um pouco mais complicado na pronúncia.
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 !
It really depends what your original language is. If it's French it's NOT that hard. If it's Chinese it's very different than original language so it will be harder.
@@TheUrbanEve eve, mi marido, britanico, intenta aprender espagnol y frances para poder comunicarse con mi familia(para el, mas facil q italiano, flamenco y aleman😂). Q consejos me darias para el, por favor?. Tengo todos los libros q comentas de cle International (todos los de gramatica, vocabulario,..... Buff! 🤦🏼♀️😂). Al ser nativa no sabria decirle cuantas horas/tiempo necesitaria dedicarle para aprender a hablarlo bien. Nos aconsejas, por favor? Un besazo gigante desde Australia, preciosa. 😘
@@TheUrbanEve i am easily learning German because there are too many similar words between English and German and when it comes to cases i am already accustomed to this because i also speak Russian, it would be a little frustrating for someone who speaks just English. so it shows that the more languages you know, the easier it will be to learn other languages. for example i easily learned Spanish because i speak French too much similar words like the "Dormir, Venir, etc."
@@glody5441 english is actually a germanic language with a little bit of latin. I read your other comments that did encourage me to keep learning Russian. Thanks
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.
Adoro ouvir vc falando português! As línguas mais desafiantes para mim são: francês ( eles falam muito rápido) e espanhol ( pq as vezes não sei se estou falando espanhol ou português com um sotaque em espanhol kkk) .But I must say that the most challenging language I tried to learn ,it was Russian, its grammar and big words are pretty hard to reproduce. Beijos da Bahia!
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.
There are in fact several languages that are difficult to read because their spelling no longer represents modern pronunciation: Thai and Irish are two others.
You look beautiful, that lip gloss looks so good on you! ❤️ I am currently learning Spanish right now, it’s supposed to be an easier language but I’m having a tough time with it, I’m from California.
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.
@@imadlaaroussi7105 Because every dialect has evolve en different ways due to geographical conditions of the countries. Also both dialects have their own uniqueness in slang, vocabulary, grammar (she/he didt attempt to be rude with this comment(
Yes moroccan is the most difficult to understand because of french and spanish colonisation.But the moroccan can understand the others arabic countries
I’m just starting French lessons and as a person from Texas who’s used to Spanish I’m finding it SO DIFFICULT! I want to learn Mandarin next but French is kicking my butt.
Thank you so much for your videos. I started studying Spanish 4 months ago, and I think it's a little hard. I love that you say "It's not difficult, but challenging". I'm not the type of person who writes comments, but I really like watching your videos. You also help me stay motivated, and I can't wait to speak it fluently. In one week I'll travel to Spain for the first time, and I hope I can use what I've learned :D
I find it really interesting that you found French a lot more difficult because it seems to be a popular language for people to study. I started studying French in September and I’m still getting used to the pronunciation but it’s getting easier
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.)
Tube Watcher thank you very much. I knew that often drop the ‘ne’ but I didn’t know any of the other things that you mentioned. I’m sure it will come in handy to know them. I will definitely check out those TH-cam channels 😊
Hi, I'm french and don't worry. We are making a lot of mistakes when we write our langage. I will never understand for example, why we had invented a rule and after we made one thousand exceptions ! (you do sound like a native french speaker)
Same with my native language 🇺🇲. Except your language makes very soft sounds, so the sounds you make are barely there anyway, but you make them so you have to write them. Difference is that in English, we just spell everything weirdly, while it is completely possible to write exactly what we mean. Too bee onehst, thihs iz hou English shoold bee riten, buht itz noht.
Wow you are so inspiring. You know how to speak so many languages. You’re brilliant. I agree that approaching a language with a “it’s difficult, I can’t do it” Mentality isn’t helpful. You would ALWAYS think it’s difficult and impossible. I’m currently learning Japanese and honestly, you can do anything if you set your mind to it. That’s what I’ve learned.
I've learned Arabic, and I don't think it's that difficult to learn. The pronunciation is a bit tricky, tho people call it one of the hardest languages 🤔 It's about effort and the will, plus the way of learning Besides that I learned a few other languages as well. They were easier indeed
It wasn't hard to learn but I felt like I couldn't practice enough because nobody speaks classic standard Arabic at least not in Morocco where I studied it. So you basically need to choose a country and learn the Arabic that is spoken there, I guess.
@@TheUrbanEve I know a lot of Syrians and Egyptians and most of them speak/understand Classic Arabic... I think in Morocco it's not that common to speak Classic Arabic, since they also speak Tamazigh and their accent contains many foreign words.. Did you know that the accents within Syria differ a lot from each other? My favourite accent is that one from Egypt, Cairo
@@TheUrbanEve I also studied Fusha and although not spoken in the street its lays a great foundation to the dialects. fusha is also close to the levant Arabic countries, Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon so the transition is easier. Now Moroccan Arabic is the most difficult its a mixture of Arabic, french and moorish.
@@davidgo2019 Yes, I mean in Morocco they did perfectly understand the Classic Arabic and also speak it, but not in their everyday life, at home for example. Only when I tried to speak with them.
Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian dialect mixed in French Algerian dialect is hardest becouse must of other arabic countries couldn't understand them and also by the way i'm from libya and Libyan dialect we have some terms in Italian If you want the Arabic language easy to learn as in the Koran and because if you think to study the grammar before you master the pronunciation 100% u will find yourself lost
¡Gracias por presentarnos nuevas aplicaciones y sitios de web que nos permiten aprender nuevas lenguas extranjeras! Realmente me fastidia cuando la gente dice "¡Oh, hombre, esta lengua es tan difícil! ¡Nunca podría aprenderlo!". Ni siquiera les importarán y, como tú ya dijiste, la mentalidad es lo que importa. Hay que tener una actitud positiva hacia el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras.
TheUrbanEve Ich habe Gracias verstanden sonst nicht Was kannst du mir helfen ich möchte Englisch spanisch Französisch lernen Was würdest du mich beraten
Im arabian from palestine and yes i totaly have a hard time while trying to understand what do morrocans algerians and tunesians are saying but if you study the standart arabic every one can understand you but you cant understand any one so basiclly you need to ask every country what are the features of your dialect so egyption will tell you that Egyptions dialect replace the letters: Th like three to s Th like the to z The c like car to a The j to g like game So you can slowly get use to the dialect. Good luck with the arabic i will help you if you need And wish me the best luck im studying now my 6th language 😍 and im planning to start the 7th
There is no hardest language, you know why? .................Because it's up to the person if it's interested in. Or if the person really want's to learn it.
I speak shona (Zimbabwe ), Zulu & Africans (South Africa ), English , Dutch , French , Spanish and Russian but i do make mistakes n also started Korean
all right I’m from South Africa and I speak isiZulu, siSwati, Swahili, Tswana (the Bantu languages), French and Spanish. Not as difficult as many people think. 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).

Chinese and Arabic are often mentioned. I try to learn Albanian. I also find this a very difficult language. It's so unique and not related to any other language.
Aprendiendo español y me encanta. Siempre diría que no puedo aprender idiomas, pero estoy demostrando que el compromiso y la paciencia están dando sus frutos. Por cierto, admiro el hecho de que hayas aprendido tantos idiomas. Estoy animado por ti. Mucho Gracias..!!!
I know Arabic has too many dialects and is hard to keep up with them all, but if you learn the classic Arabic, then you can get used to the dialects very easily. While learning it first in the Classic way, I would say to stick with the Classic writings of Arabic, and most importantly with the Quran, because it is the purest form of Arabic.
@@hessa924 It is hard but just as any language hard I think, it is different too, so it would be easier for somebody that knows Semitic language like Hebrew. But I say it is learnable and beautiful.
I'm learning Mandarin and my challenge is understanding/listening cause they speak so fast. How would you advise me on my journey to fluency? And of course understanding them
Try to watch films with subtitles, but in universal Chinese, not pinyin. I went to preschool in shenzhen and guangzhou, and they used to play cartoon with subtitles to help us to learn the language. Hope it helps☺️
I have experience in French and Hebrew. French: easy to read, easy to understand when reading, hard to speak, hard to understand speakers. Hebrew: hard to read, hard to understand when reading, easy to speak, relatively easy to understand speakers (cause the words have more vowels and, unlike the French, people speak with intonations).
Spanish is very easy! Easier than English I think? I think if I didn't speak English or Spanish as a first language, Spanish would be very easy to learn.
Merçi madame pour cette vidéo. À mon avi, il y a plein de différent langues qui sont parlé partout dans le monde qui sont difficile de parler. Je suis d'accord avec toi .....le français est la langue européenne la plus ardu du monde.... nottament avec la pronounciation...... Ce n'est pas le cas en espagnol....leur accent est certainement plus naturel que le français. Toute façon, dans toutes les cas , la chose la plus importante est d'être rester motivé, déterminé et concentré sur vos buts....vos rêves etc ! Voilà......bonne chance à tous !
I just found your channel and I love it! I really like learn languages, I'm hungarian and speak english and french but I learned korean for 1 and a half year so I can speak a little bit korean as well😊 Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward your next video❤️
This is so true. I’m learning French right now and when I go to translate the words so I can pronounce it better it’s not pronounced how it’s spelled at all...😒😫😅
nazel sounds aren't the problem for me there is a big difference between the spoken and written language it causes confusion to go from one to the other
I’m trying to learn Thai because my step mom is from Thailand and she’s not too good at English and I wanna be able to talk to her more and help her learn English as well! Plus my step sister who has had difficulty coming to America is finally coming in 2 months! So I really gotta learn but its a bit confusing cause tones and stuff. The alphabet is also kinda confusing to me too?? I’m gonna try my best to learn, I have to!
The best Arabic to learn is Egyptian. It's the universal Arabic (like media). Even if they dont speak it, they know it. Comparable example: English to old English. It is the "easy" ... sort of uneducated sounding Arabic. But very easy to learn compared to classical. And youd be able to communicate with most Arabic speakers.
I'm a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico, fully bilingual in English (which I learned at a very early age). I also speak Italian (studied 2 years), and French (studied1 year), and I'm currently studying Portuguese. Being Latin languages I find them very easy to learn. At 4 months of study I could fluently converse in Italian.
the first language i started learning was french and then a couple months later i started learning spanish in school. i now work in a mexican restaurant so spanish is becoming much easier. i’ve also started learning german and a couple other languages i love your videos, they’re so interesting and entertaining
Spanish has official status in: -North America (Texas) -South America (Argentina) -Europe (Spain) -Africa (Equatorial Guinea) -Asia (Zamboanga) -Oceania (Rapa Nui) -The only city in Antarctica
I’ve been learning French for 3 years and I personally don’t find it that hard. My first language is Spanish so French is easier for me because of that. However I really want to learn Arabic! But I want to get close to fluency in French before I study another language because I don’t want to get my mind mixed up with all these languages:) PS: does anyone know of a free app on iOS for learning Arabic?
The best way to learn a language is to hear it a lot and watch a movie or anything that is translated into this language,also I am an Arabic native speaker,if you want any clarification I can help of course!
If you learned classic arabic you can speak it with any arabian because this what I do as an arabian from palestine speaking with an arabian from moroco
I am from Tunisia Dialects are different , but the Classic arabic is the official language of arabic speaking countries The traffic signs are written in the same arabic (Morocco, Tunisia , Lebanon...)
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 :)
My dad is Icelandic but he didn’t bring me up speaking it as he thought that it’s such a difficult language to learn and as I’m Scottish it would be completely useless as no one can speak it in the uk, and everyone in Iceland can speak English but I’m now trying to learn it and it’s very challenging and there’s almost no resource to learn it off. So if anyone out there is trying to learn it I understand how hard it is good luck! 🏴 🇮🇸
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 wish I knew more than just one language, and I think its very impressive that you know so many languages. I took 3 years of Spanish from when I was 13-16 years old, and I retained very little, so I am not even close to being conversational. I tried learning Korean, but I gave up quickly.
Sometimes people say a language is hard just based on the writing system. You can learn Chinese with pinyin of your goal is just to speak. Study the iconography later. Same with Arabic. I'm learning Persian, and I don't actually find the writing system and alphabet that hard. But I can learn to be conversational without reading. But I do LOVE other writing systems. I think Thai is just gorgeous on paper.
I am native Arabic speaker I can help you with whatever you need via Zoom call maybe. I am also learning Japanese! it's actually quite fun and very different
Hi , I'm moroccan born Italy . I talk italian , moroccan , english ( I'm still learning a few things tho and it making it easer for me at school) and now I'm learning Korean to then learn Japanes at some point
You forgot the German grammar, hahaha for you it's easy, but the German grammar is hard af haha. Die Deutsch Grammatik ist ein bisschen schwer für mich zu vertehen. Meine Lieblingssprache ist Chinesisch.
I am from Algeria, in all arabic countries we used the arab vocabulary, the difference is about the accents. The accent depend of the original language, like for exemple in North Africa its the berber, so we speak arabic with berber accent, its the same for the other countries. Palestine,Jordan, Lebanon and Syria were one country, thats why they speak the same (lebanese is a little bit différent) by the way, I unferstand all the arab dialecte and I am algerian.
I am korean) and i cam speak a little arabic and Japanses(still learning) English arabic and French some spanish. And a little German. When i learn more Japanise cause im almost done speaking arabic i will learn polish! You guys can learn any language dont just, See the language and say oh its to Hard you have to practice and learn more about it :3 Saranghaeyo everyone :3
OMG your english speed has improved, because i come from a old video, and i'm seing that you have pretty speed now, congrats..... So your content is really funny and interesting keep going in that way
I’m English native and have never learned languages but Chinese has been pretty easy actually. Tibetan is very very very very difficult and I haven’t seen it been recognised before.
Currently I am om my 4th language, I still want to learn Russian and Arabic. Learning a language is a personal process and everyone has their own "most difficults " one.
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.
Usually when speaking about English they put the American flag! whats the question they are speaking about our common language and that all that matters.
once i watched a video on youtube from a woman learning polish... man, the language is hard HARD. but i agree with you, chinese and arabic are very hard. but i didn't know chinese have a not that difficult grammar... still the pronunciation gets me confused.
I’m a South African and I think some of the hardest languages to learn are all 11 official languages from South Africa🇿🇦 I’ve never seen any foreigner be able to learn a South African language without mispronouncing EVERYTHING they say, especially languages like Zulu,Sotho,Venda,Xhosa etc. I feel like foreigners will have a REALLY hard time with all the clicks and weird pronunciation, heck, even saying a South African name is hard for people, and If you want to learn a South African language I suggest learning Afrikaans it’s the easiest out of all them all though it will still be EXTREMELY hard if you haven’t been exposed to languages like Deutsch, German etc. A tip is to always focus on pronunciation since you aren’t used to the sound we make with our mouths and tongues when speaking I have a game for you😏😋Try see if you can pronounce these South African names: Oratile Tshegofatsho Mathabo Neo Karabo Tshelang Mpho Veronique Jeané Tumelo Reitumetsie Senamile Tawana

Well I'm a native Arabic speaker from Egypt, even though I can't understand the Arabic of Morroco. The easiest Arabic accent you can learn, I say Egypt Lebanon Syria Jordan and Palestine
tengo una toería de que tu primer idioma siempre es el más difícil porque tienes que cambiar la manera de que piensas para hablar otro idioma, así que tu primer hace que esta transformación tenga lugar. estáis de acuerdo?
the solution for the arabic dialects is to divide the arabic world into east and west choose one country from the east and other from the west and you're good to go because after that it's basically question of vocabulary
I’m quite surprised about how much you know about Arabic 😂❤️ , also you are right even in Saudi every state has its own accent . But we understand each other and if you learn the classic Arabic you will understand . And know I start learning French and I find it similar to Arabic and English.
Thank you for being honest about Chinese! I’m learning Chinese and you would think it would make me feel good when people tell me I’m learning the hardest language, but it’s not true! I think the most important things when learning Chinese is the foundation, like pronunciation and hammering tone RULES into your brain until reading pinyin because intuition. Once you can read pinyin with perfect tones and pronunciation, you just have to associate it with the characters, which is actually easier because pinyin is just phonetic and most words sound the same. One thing I would’ve mentioned would be that Chinese is an extremely context sensitive language. It can be hard to tell tones apart in short 2 letter words, in fast paced speech. Regardless, it is definitely possible to easily gather different information by tones, and the more you do it the better you will get.
6:20 lmao, I am a portuguese speakerand the nasal sonds are not that hard to me, but I have to fix my pronouce of the vowels, as they are different from which I'm used to speak. Great video!
I met a multi once were talking for a week in English and didn’t even realise she wasn’t English.then found out asked her and she’s like speak 18 languages I was omg wow
Arabic is spoken as formal in Saudia Arabia. Most of the other countries do not speak it the same. By the way, it has to sound guttural and angry be be most effective.

Tbh i was surprised when i found out that Russian is hard (that's what watchmojo said :P)
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 😂)

If you like grammar challenge then I reccomend polish, russian, hungarian, lots of noun cases :D
Hungarian cases are working in the other way than in Polish or Russian :)
I dont negate that because I’ve never learned it, I’ve just heard that it has 21 cases or something ;)
I'm trying to learn polish and korean and it's impossible 😂
@@marcinsznn what do you mean by "the other way"? I'm Hungarian myself but I've never properly analysed it or compared with other many case languages
@@user-jk4jj4nm1q the other way means that in Hungarian you have a group of affixes or suffixes you are adding to the word.
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.
Yes, and I heard Korean is supposed to be easy. I'm not sure if it's true though.
@@TheUrbanEve Do you know any good English to Korean translator apps?
@@TheUrbanEve korean reading and writing is easy because of the stupidly simple alphabet i learned it all in a few hours and could read at a normal pace in a week. Speaking is also easy since korean is spoken like its written expect for a few sound change rules but the grammar is kinda hard. If u have any experience with japanese grammar then korean grammar will be easy for u since they are very similar.
Why would a non-muslim want to learn Arabic though?
Kyeong Koo Kang So true. Chinese, Japanese and Korean are all interrelated to each other. My parents could even read Japanese newspaper since They’re Chinese.
Portuguese from Portugal it’s difficult to learn. so people who want to learn Portuguese they choose portuguese from brazil that is more easier for foreigners
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 :)
Yes I really understand EVERYTHING from brazilians but portuguese from Portugal changes a lot, I mean, the grammar is almost the same but the accent changes a lot, the same happens with french from Canadá, is easier than french from France
Eu acho o Português de Portugal maravilhoso, me lembra Russo kkkk e como você mesma disse, o Português de Portugal é um pouco mais complicado na pronúncia.
LuisGarzaHo Olá
About English, I prefer the britain English, for me it is more easy than the American English.
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 !
It really depends what your original language is. If it's French it's NOT that hard. If it's Chinese it's very different than original language so it will be harder.
French is truly frustrating at times :P
I sometimes don't have any answer to some of my students' questions. C'est comme ça, c'est la vie :P
Tout à fait, c'est comme ça la vie!😆 I'm the same when it comes to tutoring students in German, which grammar-wise is worse than French!

@@TheUrbanEve i am easily learning German because there are too many similar words between English and German and when it comes to cases i am already accustomed to this because i also speak Russian, it would be a little frustrating for someone who speaks just English. so it shows that the more languages you know, the easier it will be to learn other languages. for example i easily learned Spanish because i speak French too much similar words like the "Dormir, Venir, etc."
@@glody5441 english is actually a germanic language with a little bit of latin. I read your other comments that did encourage me to keep learning Russian. Thanks
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.
Adoro ouvir vc falando português! As línguas mais desafiantes para mim são: francês ( eles falam muito rápido) e espanhol ( pq as vezes não sei se estou falando espanhol ou português com um sotaque em espanhol kkk) .But I must say that the most challenging language I tried to learn ,it was Russian, its grammar and big words are pretty hard to reproduce. Beijos da Bahia!
Fala brasileiro kkkk veio parar aqui como filhao
I find Arabic, Hebrew, German and Chinese very hard. I'm a Portuguese speaker.
Try Polish. German is a piece of cake
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.
Me too😉

I am currently learning french and I love your accent 😫🙏🏾❤️
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.

It's different for everybody, don't worry, you'll get it.
The korean alphabet is so easy I learned it in 1 months c'mon you can do it !!
I find it really interesting that you found French a lot more difficult because it seems to be a popular language for people to study. I started studying French in September and I’m still getting used to the pronunciation but it’s getting easier
Its popular because alot of countries speak it and is considered the most "sexiest" language. The way Americans go crazy over the french.
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.)
Tube Watcher thank you very much. I knew that often drop the ‘ne’ but I didn’t know any of the other things that you mentioned. I’m sure it will come in handy to know them. I will definitely check out those TH-cam channels 😊
Hi, I'm french and don't worry. We are making a lot of mistakes when we write our langage. I will never understand for example, why we had invented a rule and after we made one thousand exceptions ! (you do sound like a native french speaker)
Same with my native language 🇺🇲. Except your language makes very soft sounds, so the sounds you make are barely there anyway, but you make them so you have to write them. Difference is that in English, we just spell everything weirdly, while it is completely possible to write exactly what we mean. Too bee onehst, thihs iz hou English shoold bee riten, buht itz noht.

Wow you are so inspiring. You know how to speak so many languages. You’re brilliant. I agree that approaching a language with a “it’s difficult, I can’t do it” Mentality isn’t helpful. You would ALWAYS think it’s difficult and impossible. I’m currently learning Japanese and honestly, you can do anything if you set your mind to it. That’s what I’ve learned.
I've learned Arabic, and I don't think it's that difficult to learn. The pronunciation is a bit tricky, tho people call it one of the hardest languages 🤔 It's about effort and the will, plus the way of learning
Besides that I learned a few other languages as well. They were easier indeed
It wasn't hard to learn but I felt like I couldn't practice enough because nobody speaks classic standard Arabic at least not in Morocco where I studied it. So you basically need to choose a country and learn the Arabic that is spoken there, I guess.
@@TheUrbanEve I know a lot of Syrians and Egyptians and most of them speak/understand Classic Arabic... I think in Morocco it's not that common to speak Classic Arabic, since they also speak Tamazigh and their accent contains many foreign words..
Did you know that the accents within Syria differ a lot from each other?
My favourite accent is that one from Egypt, Cairo
@@TheUrbanEve
I also studied Fusha and although not spoken in the street its lays a great foundation to the dialects. fusha is also close to the levant Arabic countries, Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon so the transition is easier. Now Moroccan Arabic is the most difficult its a mixture of Arabic, french and moorish.
@@davidgo2019 Yes, I mean in Morocco they did perfectly understand the Classic Arabic and also speak it, but not in their everyday life, at home for example. Only when I tried to speak with them.

Algerian dialect is hardest becouse must of other arabic countries couldn't understand them
and also by the way i'm from libya and Libyan dialect we have some terms in Italian
If you want the Arabic language easy to learn as in the Koran and because if you think to study the grammar before you master the pronunciation 100% u will find yourself lost

Im arabian from palestine and yes i totaly have a hard time while trying to understand what do morrocans algerians and tunesians are saying but if you study the standart arabic every one can understand you but you cant understand any one so basiclly you need to ask every country what are the features of your dialect so egyption will tell you that
Egyptions dialect replace the letters:
Th like three to s
Th like the to z
The c like car to a
The j to g like game
So you can slowly get use to the dialect.

Roaa à the arabic languages easy but it's hard in Dialect and grammar only
There is no hardest language, you know why? .................Because it's up to the person if it's interested in. Or if the person really want's to learn it.

all right I’m from South Africa and I speak isiZulu, siSwati, Swahili, Tswana (the Bantu languages), French and Spanish. Not as difficult as many people think.
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).

Chinese and Arabic are often mentioned. I try to learn Albanian. I also find this a very difficult language. It's so unique and not related to any other language.
Aprendiendo español y me encanta. Siempre diría que no puedo aprender idiomas, pero estoy demostrando que el compromiso y la paciencia están dando sus frutos. Por cierto, admiro el hecho de que hayas aprendido tantos idiomas. Estoy animado por ti. Mucho Gracias..!!!
I know Arabic has too many dialects and is hard to keep up with them all, but if you learn the classic Arabic, then you can get used to the dialects very easily. While learning it first in the Classic way, I would say to stick with the Classic writings of Arabic, and most importantly with the Quran, because it is the purest form of Arabic.
CapTaiN cCc but the classic Arabic is much harder
@@hessa924 It is hard but just as any language hard I think, it is different too, so it would be easier for somebody that knows Semitic language like Hebrew. But I say it is learnable and beautiful.
French also it's a challenge for me....but I love it!!!! Try to learn Portuguese, kisses from Brazil.
Já falou português! Tem videos só em português no meu canal🙂 Yes, I also have a lot of French videos to learn. Check them out!

I'm learning Mandarin and my challenge is understanding/listening cause they speak so fast. How would you advise me on my journey to fluency? And of course understanding them
Try to watch films with subtitles, but in universal Chinese, not pinyin. I went to preschool in shenzhen and guangzhou, and they used to play cartoon with subtitles to help us to learn the language. Hope it helps☺️
ayren bethancourt thanks 😊
Polish, Russian, Czech, Japanese, Georgian, Armenian, Albanian, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian are all very tough too.
True and yet nobody ever mentions these lol
I have experience in French and Hebrew.
French: easy to read, easy to understand when reading, hard to speak, hard to understand speakers.
Hebrew: hard to read, hard to understand when reading, easy to speak, relatively easy to understand speakers (cause the words have more vowels and, unlike the French, people speak with intonations).
Spanish is very easy! Easier than English I think? I think if I didn't speak English or Spanish as a first language, Spanish would be very easy to learn.
Merçi madame pour cette vidéo. À mon avi, il y a plein de différent langues qui sont parlé partout dans le monde qui sont difficile de parler. Je suis d'accord avec toi .....le français est la langue européenne la plus ardu du monde.... nottament avec la pronounciation...... Ce n'est pas le cas en espagnol....leur accent est certainement plus naturel que le français.
Toute façon, dans toutes les cas , la chose la plus importante est d'être rester motivé, déterminé et concentré sur vos buts....vos rêves etc ! Voilà......bonne chance à tous !
I just found your channel and I love it! I really like learn languages, I'm hungarian and speak english and french but I learned korean for 1 and a half year so I can speak a little bit korean as well😊
Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward your next video❤️
This is so true. I’m learning French right now and when I go to translate the words so I can pronounce it better it’s not pronounced how it’s spelled at all...😒😫😅
For me ; english because of the pronunciation but grammar is the easy part
Agreed. 10 years married to a british and i still dont control it😂

I’m trying to learn Thai because my step mom is from Thailand and she’s not too good at English and I wanna be able to talk to her more and help her learn English as well! Plus my step sister who has had difficulty coming to America is finally coming in 2 months! So I really gotta learn but its a bit confusing cause tones and stuff. The alphabet is also kinda confusing to me too?? I’m gonna try my best to learn, I have to!
The best Arabic to learn is Egyptian. It's the universal Arabic (like media). Even if they dont speak it, they know it. Comparable example: English to old English. It is the "easy" ... sort of uneducated sounding Arabic. But very easy to learn compared to classical. And youd be able to communicate with most Arabic speakers.
I'm a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico, fully bilingual in English (which I learned at a very early age). I also speak Italian (studied 2 years), and French (studied1 year), and I'm currently studying Portuguese. Being Latin languages I find them very easy to learn. At 4 months of study I could fluently converse in Italian.
the first language i started learning was french and then a couple months later i started learning spanish in school. i now work in a mexican restaurant so spanish is becoming much easier. i’ve also started learning german and a couple other languages
i love your videos, they’re so interesting and entertaining
Spanish has official status in:
-North America (Texas)
-South America (Argentina)
-Europe (Spain)
-Africa (Equatorial Guinea)
-Asia (Zamboanga)
-Oceania (Rapa Nui)
-The only city in Antarctica
I’ve been learning French for 3 years and I personally don’t find it that hard. My first language is Spanish so French is easier for me because of that. However I really want to learn Arabic! But I want to get close to fluency in French before I study another language because I don’t want to get my mind mixed up with all these languages:) PS: does anyone know of a free app on iOS for learning Arabic?
Try Drops. It is a simple vocabulary app, but very good. I use it myself.
The best way to learn a language is to hear it a lot and watch a movie or anything that is translated into this language,also I am an Arabic native speaker,if you want any clarification I can help of course!
If you learned classic arabic you can speak it with any arabian because this what I do as an arabian from palestine speaking with an arabian from moroco
I am from Tunisia
Dialects are different , but the Classic arabic is the official language of arabic speaking countries
The traffic signs are written in the same arabic (Morocco, Tunisia , Lebanon...)
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 :)
My dad is Icelandic but he didn’t bring me up speaking it as he thought that it’s such a difficult language to learn and as I’m Scottish it would be completely useless as no one can speak it in the uk, and everyone in Iceland can speak English but I’m now trying to learn it and it’s very challenging and there’s almost no resource to learn it off. So if anyone out there is trying to learn it I understand how hard it is good luck! 🏴 🇮🇸
I am an Arab Egyptian and the Arabic grammar is difficult for us
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.
Hey there your are right !! That’s great you know all of these info about Arabic
I am Egyptian I speak Arabic !!
I wish I knew more than just one language, and I think its very impressive that you know so many languages. I took 3 years of Spanish from when I was 13-16 years old, and I retained very little, so I am not even close to being conversational. I tried learning Korean, but I gave up quickly.
Sometimes people say a language is hard just based on the writing system. You can learn Chinese with pinyin of your goal is just to speak. Study the iconography later. Same with Arabic. I'm learning Persian, and I don't actually find the writing system and alphabet that hard. But I can learn to be conversational without reading. But I do LOVE other writing systems. I think Thai is just gorgeous on paper.
I am native Arabic speaker I can help you with whatever you need via Zoom call maybe.
I am also learning Japanese! it's actually quite fun and very different
Hi , I'm moroccan born Italy . I talk italian , moroccan , english ( I'm still learning a few things tho and it making it easer for me at school) and now I'm learning Korean to then learn Japanes at some point
You forgot the German grammar, hahaha for you it's easy, but the German grammar is hard af haha.
Die Deutsch Grammatik ist ein bisschen schwer für mich zu vertehen.

Ich denke nicht, dass Deutsch so schlecht ist. Es ist nicht schwer aber auch nicht einfach. Nur die Satz Strukturen sind schwierig.
She talked about her personal experience, not another's people.
I am from Algeria, in all arabic countries we used the arab vocabulary, the difference is about the accents. The accent depend of the original language, like for exemple in North Africa its the berber, so we speak arabic with berber accent, its the same for the other countries. Palestine,Jordan, Lebanon and Syria were one country, thats why they speak the same (lebanese is a little bit différent) by the way, I unferstand all the arab dialecte and I am algerian.
I am korean) and i cam speak a little arabic and Japanses(still learning) English arabic and French some spanish. And a little German. When i learn more Japanise cause im almost done speaking arabic i will learn polish! You guys can learn any language dont just, See the language and say oh its to Hard you have to practice and learn more about it :3 Saranghaeyo everyone :3

Currently I am om my 4th language, I still want to learn Russian and Arabic.
Learning a language is a personal process and everyone has their own "most difficults " one.
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.
Funny you’ve put the flags for the languages original countries...except Brazilian is not a language, it’s portuguese, from Portugal, dff flag
Não importa.O Brasil aperfeiçoou.Além do mais, os gringos preferem o português brasileiro.
Usually when speaking about English they put the American flag! whats the question they are speaking about our common language and that all that matters.
I don't know but for me French isn't that hard, Chinese seems so much harder that's why I was astonished by French being on second place
It's not written phonetically, a lot of exceptions, and there are also exceptions to exceptions, nasal vowels, silent letters and a guttural consonant
try to learn polish or hungarian, i promise you they are the most difficult ones
I speak Polish perfectly :) yes, you right Polish is very difficult, Hungarian too.
Hi! Loving your video’s ! Ever tried to learn Dutch? Since you speak fluent German i can imagine it would’nt be too hard foryou!
Brazilian Portuguese
- Am I a joke to you?
Não entendo nada que vocês falam, vocês acham português difícil??
once i watched a video on youtube from a woman learning polish... man, the language is hard HARD. but i agree with you, chinese and arabic are very hard. but i didn't know chinese have a not that difficult grammar... still the pronunciation gets me confused.
I’m learning Japanese and it’s hard AF!
As an brazilian, i dont have much problem speaking arabic, only reading it.
I’m a South African and I think some of the hardest languages to learn are all 11 official languages from South Africa🇿🇦 I’ve never seen any foreigner be able to learn a South African language without mispronouncing EVERYTHING they say, especially languages like Zulu,Sotho,Venda,Xhosa etc. I feel like foreigners will have a REALLY hard time with all the clicks and weird pronunciation, heck, even saying a South African name is hard for people, and If you want to learn a South African language I suggest learning Afrikaans it’s the easiest out of all them all though it will still be EXTREMELY hard if you haven’t been exposed to languages like Deutsch, German etc. A tip is to always focus on pronunciation since you aren’t used to the sound we make with our mouths and tongues when speaking
I have a game for you😏😋Try see if you can pronounce these South African names:
Oratile
Tshegofatsho
Mathabo
Neo
Karabo
Tshelang
Mpho
Veronique
Jeané
Tumelo
Reitumetsie
Senamile
Tawana
It's hard found someone who's teach those languages. But I would like to learn :)
I feel like I am stock, I was studing french, korean and k'iche, I studied a couple of minutos everyday but lately I been negligent my studies every language I study I struggle with something speaking or grammar😞 thanks for the words of encourage.
Well I'm a native Arabic speaker from Egypt, even though I can't understand the Arabic of Morroco.
The easiest Arabic accent you can learn, I say Egypt Lebanon Syria Jordan and Palestine
tengo una toería de que tu primer idioma siempre es el más difícil porque tienes que cambiar la manera de que piensas para hablar otro idioma, así que tu primer hace que esta transformación tenga lugar. estáis de acuerdo?
the solution for the arabic dialects is to divide the arabic world into east and west choose one country from the east and other from the west and you're good to go because after that it's basically question of vocabulary
I'm french and because kids in my school don't really speak english i'm saying bad words and its funny 😂
I’m quite surprised about how much you know about Arabic 😂❤️ , also you are right even in Saudi every state has its own accent . But we understand each other and if you learn the classic Arabic you will understand . And know I start learning French and I find it similar to Arabic and English.
I am from Brazil i would like talk to you.. I love your videos.
Thank you for being honest about Chinese! I’m learning Chinese and you would think it would make me feel good when people tell me I’m learning the hardest language, but it’s not true! I think the most important things when learning Chinese is the foundation, like pronunciation and hammering tone RULES into your brain until reading pinyin because intuition. Once you can read pinyin with perfect tones and pronunciation, you just have to associate it with the characters, which is actually easier because pinyin is just phonetic and most words sound the same. One thing I would’ve mentioned would be that Chinese is an extremely context sensitive language. It can be hard to tell tones apart in short 2 letter words, in fast paced speech. Regardless, it is definitely possible to easily gather different information by tones, and the more you do it the better you will get.
6:20 lmao, I am a portuguese speakerand the nasal sonds are not that hard to me, but I have to fix my pronouce of the vowels, as they are different from which I'm used to speak. Great video!
Do you speak dutch language ? If yes, I want to know, was something easy ? how was the experience ?
Dutch is really easy.
I met a multi once were talking for a week in English and didn’t even realise she wasn’t English.then found out asked her and she’s like speak 18 languages I was omg wow
Arabic is spoken as formal in Saudia Arabia. Most of the other countries do not speak it the same. By the way, it has to sound guttural and angry be be most effective.
I'm arabic speaker all u said about arabic is right.......! u look understand everything about arabic dialects
I'm Arabic and I don't understand Marocons :) !
