I find it easy to pick up languages and the accents too. I don't think most Indian languages will be tough for me. I speak Malayalam which is one of the toughest of Indian languages (so I've heard). I also speak Arabic and know quite a few Indian languages (mainly south indian). Though I haven't heard all languages in the world, I think Chinese will be hard for me. I worked for a chinese company earlier and all I could get was 'Hello' and 'not nice' in chinese.

I guess none. i know four languages good and from other just few words. the hardest was german, but i canot say it was very hard, i think this kinda language is still waiting for me.I want learn so many more, so i will see. But german grammar ws kinda hard for me and also they have so many dialects and this can be hard , when you can talk with other people. But it is like eveywhere probably,because not everyone speak with proper grammar and proper pronauciation.

Ever since my childhood iam listenning to my family members and relatives speak sinhalese..but still i dont understand their conversations..i find it very difficult to understand and for me it sound so peculiar..may be its due to the fact that iam hearing only to Indian languages..after more clarifications i know very few words of sinhalese..

hi balasri, as i am an indian, so of all the languages heard by me a few can be understood abit but i find the south indian langauges absolutely like alien languagage and cant undersatnd any thing..so thats like would prove to be difficult for me to understand,and the pronounciation of words are very much different if a non-south indian language speaker tries to utter those words its funny...

no it woudnt be funny if the regular langauge speaker speaks those words but would be funny if a non speaker speaks some new language, the speaker would definately be unusual..

I am a south Indian but not biased.I like the north Indian Languages.One must have the broad mind to appreciate and learn new things and especially languages.I can speak Hindi very well.I like Urdu for its poetic beauty.I like the sound of Bengali.Languages may be hard to learn but they never sounded absolutely alien to me.Thanks for responding in a positive way.

Well, I've been studying French language before. And for me, it is very difficult. Because you have to consider the gender of the noun. That was really hard. And the pronunciation is really hard to manage and learned. Though I really want to learn how to speak French, It seems that I should study for long time.

That's true.My sister in law who became a French citizen was able to master it only after three years of practice .

All Orinental languages seem hard to learn to me. I listen to them speak and I think, oh my, my head is spinning.

Hi.. Nice question! Indian language seems to be hard for me to learn. Everyday I listen to my Indian friend talking in his language, but I still can't catch his word! Its too hard to learn. I like when hearing his speaking but I don't understand even he tried to teach me. I think, if I am having Indian language class, I will failed when having examination. HAPPY LUCKY. **prettyhanan**

I find chinese or japanese very hard to learn by listening to it because they talk incredibly fast and a lot of the syllables sound similar. what is difficult for u to learn by listening to it ?

I think other than my native and english language consider hard for me to learn. Yes and of course due to my weakness looking for something or somebody that can make me practice it as my common communication language, Normally we must have at least one common daily subject to commonly communicate with our sparing partner, as language is verbal communication thus practice makes perfect. HAPPY DAPPY.
