I believe Chinese and Japanese are hard to learn.. in Chinese, you have to learn how to spell the words as long as writing down the characters, it's very complicated. Japanese is the same way, I guess. English is my main language so it's very easy for me to learn languages such as Spanish, French, etc.

Yeah. I am pretty lucky to study in a Chinese school here in the Philippines. So i was able to learn when i was young, when my memory is still sharp and easily taught. We always practice writing in Chinese back then *it was really hard* But hard work really pays off. Someday i might learn how to speak in Chinese too. When you think of it, both languages are quite similar compared to Korean characters. Sometimes i see Chinese characters from Japanese songs too.

Hello Mickly. I have read that the English language is supposedly the hardest to learn because of the inconsistency of its "rules." But when I see Japanese or Chinese writing, I cannot imagine myself easily learning that! The symbols are so very intricate and exacting. Karen

All languages are so so amazing, how they are developed, how they are spoken. And, very nice to listen to when spoken by the natives. When it comes to learning a foreign language, all languages are difficult if one has not lived in the environment, sounds, accents, grammer.

I think all languages that is not English is hard to learn. You have to start from the scratch if you want to learn to read and write a new language. More patience is needed. In my country alone their a lot of dialects per region. I have difficulty in understanding every word spoken. How much if the languages from other country? I think no matter how difficult the languages is if it is needed in my job. I will patiently study it. It will be difficult at first but as I begin to learn it from basic word. I think I will be able to adopt it for the longer time I study it..

Hi,neelianoscet.I cannot agree with you more .The same language in a country is different in every region.It sounds crazy ,how people can communicate with each other.I don't know what it is in other countries.But many people can understand you if you speak madarin .
