It is said that Japanese is the hardest language to learn (English 2nd hardest)... Spanish is easiest - that's why I took 2 years in HS -> to this day I only know the bad words

Anyway - indeed TechnoSquare Rocks! 2 reflashes, + Quaife & 3.7FD installed by them - I'm very pleased! And they are SUPER courteous!!! (must be the culture)

 

=\ I dont think so IMO

Korean is the easiest to learn.. English/Spanish/French are pretty easy once you know one or the other.. Hardest is probably Chinese.. Japanese iono never took a class on it but doesnt seem THAT hard (GF took a few semesters of japanese)

 

I guess its all relative (to what? I don’t know?)… I Googled “hardest language to learn” and the first five links all had different results… I just remember having students in HS tell me that Japanese was real hard – and Spanish was the easiest. I’ve always heard English was one of the hardest due to so many similar words having different meanings (to, too, two – there, their, they’re – etc.)… clearly English grammar is difficult for MANY (even natives in English speaking countries)….

 

meeh.. I guess each to their own depending on what languages you already know..

 

i used to tutor a lot of fobs that just flew in (or washed up ashore).

english is a very hard language for japanese and koreans.
chinese seem to fare better.

there's only a small percentage of people that can literally switch from one language to another without bringing some sorta accent into it.

sometimes i find myself stuttering when i speak korean after not having spoken it for a while.
it takes a little while, but finally the gears all get oiled and i'm back to where i was before.
then if i talk in korean for a long span, and don't speak english for a while, i won't be able to piece the words together as i normally could.
the re-oiling process takes place and moments later i'm back to normal non fob mode.

i spoke spanish fairly fluently back in highschool.
i was handling customers and carrying on every day conversation as well.
business spanish is where i got my butt kicked.

overall, english is my strongest, followed by korean, then spanish a distant 3rd.
however, i found spanish inexplicably easier to pickup than Japanese when i tried to learn it (back in college).

I still want to learn to speak Mandarin/chinese.

so far i know how to say thank you, count to 4, ask for a cup of water, and drive like one.

 

Spanish has many rules, few exceptions. Easy to learn.

English has many rules, many exceptions. Difficult to learn.

 

This could possibly be the ultimate Off Topic thread of all time!!!! Starts as a kudos to TechnoSquare (for mirror installation of all things – which in and of itself is almost off topic)… to what language is hardest to learn!

Without great effort, I don’t think it’s possible to go much farther from one extreme to another

 

oh man dru! niceeeeeee


i want to learn japanese / korean... some reason ppl think i'm japanese or korean @times. Then when ppl talk to me, and expect me to understand I just smile and go... I'm not koren / japanese.

 

You're Korean?? Hmm didn't know that I'll have to say anyong when I get something else installed and that's all I'm gonna say cause my Korean sucks! 5091:
