What’s the Hardest Language to Learn

[Shawn Gossman]

I've been trying to learn four different languages for fun.

Spanish (I'm doing better with it than any of the others)

German

Russian

Polish

I'd love to learn Hebrew and Arabic one day, too, but those seem like they would take a lifetime to learn!

Russian so far is the hardest. It's the writing part that's alien to me.

It's interesting to see what everyone thinks, it’s hard to learn because everyone’s different.

Like I mentioned before, it really depends on what language your mother tongue is. Anyway, from everything you listed here, I would have placed Polish as harder. I’m a little surprised you included Russian as harder, but I understand your point about the writing.

It’s great to see everyone’s thoughts on this

And maybe Polish will be harder. I've not got too deep into that one yet. I've done Russian a bit more.

So, what made you want to learn Russian?
Most people usually choose languages like German , French or Spanish and a lot of younger people go for Japanese now also .

I am into open-source intelligence analysis.

I figured with the National Security situation, knowing Russian could help me when I gather data.

I'm about 80% German and also Polish, I thought it would be interesting to learn it.

I also want to learn Spanish since America is getting a lot of Spanish-speaking residents and stuff like that.
