What's the first?

SSJBulma · 08-10-2008

Klingon?

Madness · 08-10-2008

Nah, Klingon's easy.

Kumikana · 08-10-2008

There are some ~~Star Trek nerds~~ people, who find Klingon easy language to learn.

SSJBulma · 08-10-2008

I don't know any. I'm sure some LOTR ~~nerds~~ fans find Elvish easy. Lord knows Enya finds any langauge that is fictional easy.

Chinese seems to be the number one choice, though people are also suggesting Russian, Hungarian and Arabic. Though this is just what I read from the internet, back when we were discussing about it in the Finnish class they also mentioned numbers one and two(based on a survey in some big English magazine), but the fuck did I bother to memorize that.

But really, the reason people bring up Finnish as a hard language to learn is... well...

Quote:

The strong showing of Finnish is interesting considering the very small number of native speakers compared to the other languages. That should mean that there are far fewer people learning the language, as well. But Finnish remains a very popular choice for hardest language to learn. Testament perhaps to the vaunted Finnish grammar.
As for the other languages, the answers were largely expected as to why they were a hard language to learn (...) In the case of Finnish, for example, one visitor wrote "3 words : endless noun cases."

I've had people tell me Irish was the hardest langauge (it certainly is for the ungrateful youths of the country today) and then others say that English was the hardest. I'm not sure myself what the answer is, I use to think that it was Chinese.

**Crayne** · 08-10-2008

For people coming from different countries, different languages are hard to learn. Hungarian and Estonian are related (in a way) to the Finnish language, so Hungarian and Estonian people could find Finnish easier to learn. Now, take a French or an English person, and it just could be so that they're having lots and lots of trouble with learning Finnish.

Chinese is a guess I'd take too, if I was asked "What is the hardest language to learn?"

But obviously I would have to say "maybe" in the sentence, since I haven't tried learning Chinese.

Madness · 08-10-2008

My skills aren't in language-learning, so any language is hard to learn for me.

**Crayne** · 08-10-2008

English too?

You sad, sad, mad, mad man.

Madness · 08-10-2008

I couldn't talk until I was 10! *Bursts into tears*

SSJBulma · 08-10-2008

Shaddup! You understand that?!!

Madness · 08-10-2008

*Shuts up* v_v

I'll be in my room...
