As a Russian, who enjoys learning other Slavic languages, I may declare responsibly that all our languages are hard af. Even though they have a common structure, they contain lots of unique rules and even more exceptions in each. I mean, it's sometimes easier to learn all the exceptions instead of the actual rules, lol

This really depends on what language you know already.
True, an example is if you're German and learning Dutch, they're similar!
that is true my language is fifth(finnish) but i think it is really easy but maybe ö and ä are hard to learn...
+viluzi for other
Since I speak English and Vietnamese, I'm sure French will be easy
Very true. I think they did it from a native English speakers perspective, but learning similar languages to whatever your native language is should always be easier.

Russian is a hell of a lot easier than most in this list. Learning it gives you a leg up on other Slavic languages (though not all)
Russian I learned easy, I am Dutch living in Georgia. Georgian was so difficult took me 6 months to understand a bit and talk.
Especially if you can speak Bulgarian too
Try czech :D
Yeah, & Dutch isn’t has hard as, oh, let’s say, Chinese.
@@waso778 Foreigners thinking that they "know" Russian usually do not use cases, genders and verb aspects. If we seem to understand your Russian speaking in some cases, it doesn't mean that you speak grammatically correct. Russian has three genders and 6 cases for any noun, applying it to verbs you'll recieve at least 40+ forms of every of them. I don't even mention participle and gerund. And tens of suffixes, and free word order that reflects fine shadows of meanings. If you think Russian grammar is easy, you don't even close to knowing it.
Native: Hindi
Easy: English,Sanskrit

If someone starts learning it at a young age, Sanskrit is easier to learn and quite straightforward as well.
People sometimes forget English is pretty tough to master. So many pronunciation rules; because it loaned so many words from different languages, it appears more of a word soup sometimes.
@@pedrodelavi8936 the good thing about sanskrit tho is there are very little grammatical exceptions (unlike english). The script is completely phonetic and uses a very handy abugida writing system.
It's particularly easy for hindi and telugu speaking people
@@themanofmarvels6573 True that. A lot of words (in fact 90% of the words for hindi speakers) are already in these languages. The only issue is lack of able conversationalists in the language. Doesnt allow it to develop beyond textbook knowledge
Yes, so many pronunciation rules in English, -and then loads of exceptions to these rules. Although my Scandinavian language is part of that soup: a more logical language would be better for international purposes when people learn a second language.
Yeah, it's one thing to speak a language relatively well, and another to speak "correctly"
I am form Bangladesh and I know some language like
Hindi ( I learned it because of Bollywood )
Japanese ( I learned it because of Anime )

Gender? Why do you mention gender?
Mai Anh Trần I am Vietnamese- American and I think that Vietnamese is REALLY hard to learn!!! Even with ONE accidental change in accents, the whole word is messed up!!!
its a joke, nvm.
evidenceless comment, Chinese of course is way harder than English.
No way a Slavic language, like the Russian you've mentioned, using the Cyrillic alphabet (which is basically a combination of Greek and Latin alphabets) can be more difficult than Japanese, Arabic or Hebrew! But I get it, this is more about USA politics than anything else, Russian must always be put "up there" with the difficult ones.
Arabic is so difficult that most native students either fail it or barely pass it!
true its usles to learn clasical just learn how to speak and write and get dialect prefrbly saudi becuse it sounds the best and your good to go

Well, this video is in English, so that's quite obvious.
Chavezoid
Seriously.
so you are implying everybody who speaks english speaks it as a mother tongue?
Every language is difficult or easy to learn with respect to another language. You have to draw the line somewhere.
It is explained in the beginning that the video takes it that you speak English already..the fact we watch videos targeted on native speakers does not mean we need to be acknowledged every second of it. now if you are russian-american or a chinese person who teaches english...and you see your language "up there" you will know who the video was made for. It is impossible to make a universal video of the hardest languages to learn, as this is vastly different depending what your first language is.
Sorry but..English seems very cheap in front of all these languages.
...and hence easy to use and spread.
Yeah but it’s only because English is an international language. If English was a language only spoken in one small country, we would see it as a beautiful and unique language
English history is equally rich and fascinating tho. It's so widely spoken because the English ruled over a quater of the world. Something not many others claim to have done.
I learned english from watching youtube wideoes
@@draskopopovic9543 i can tell
I noticed Dutch was in the Honorable mentions but I heard this is actually one of the easiest foreign language to learn for English speakers due to linguistic and cultural closeness.
You’re right, It is easy. Thats why I take this stuff with a pinch of salt
The word "video" is based in the latin word "video" which means "I'm seeing/watching".
Not on sanscrit
But it may be congnate with a Sanskrit because they are Indo-European, and also in in slavic languages it is "vidím" or similar. But I agree with you
I’m studying Japanese and the way she said “katakana” had me crying man
Oh whatever, it wasn't that bad. Yea she puts stress on the second syllable like most english speakers would, but for someone who probably has no idea about how Japanese is pronounced, it was OK. I've been studying it myself for about 5 months now...
To be honest, almost all Japanese learners’ pronunciations sound somewhat weird to me. In TV or real life, I’ve almost never seen someone who speaks Japanese naturally as people born and grown up in Japan. Considering that, the way she said was easily decipherable to me and I don’t see any problem with it. Anyway, thank you for being interested in our language! I really hope you enjoy learning Japanese and get better at it!

Hardest languages to learn cannot be a subjective thing in my opinion. If you are slavic, other slavic languages are easier to learn. It's primarily about the language a person knows or their ability to learn languages.
This is probably from an English point of view

In Arabic as in Korean, the subject is placed at the beginning of a sentence and before both the verb and the object. Also, not all sentences have to have a verb and for that Arabic does not have helping verbs. You can add a suffix to a verb to eliminate the subject as the verb and subject are written contented and pronounced as a single word. So, arabic so different not just in pronunciation but in grammar and structure.

Korean is seriously easier to learn than some people think, you can learn the alphabet in a couple of hours, and if you remember the sentence structure you'll be fine. The only problem is, there aren't that many different sounds in Korean which means that a lot of the words sound similar or even the same which confuses people a lot

Nice to have put Korean so low on the list since it's a relatively easy language (both spoken and written) compared to japanese (that is not THAT hard to speak but hell to learn to write) or chinese (that is hard on both).
If you're into Norse cultures learn Norwegian, lots of loan words and it's a gateway to learn other scandinavian languages like Swedish and Danish. If you want to appreciate the adventure of Thor and Loki in their original form then you better learn Islandic since it's quite closer to Old Norse than any other language I've mentionned...but as mentionned is alot harder to speak...probably why Marvel re-imagine the birth of Norse Mythology in Norway just in case they wanted to use "Asgardian" as they did in Loki (the actual reason I've started learning Norwegian as a hobby).
I find Korean pretty easy tbh. Their alphabet is super easy, and writing it is pretty easy as well. It is no where near as hard as Mandarin and Thai.
Dutch should be one of the more easier languages a English speaker should know?
Dutch is mainly a hard language to speak, you might know the language but no dutch speaker will understand you xD

It’s funny how people only categorize Chinese into Mandarin and Cantonese and it’s a whole language family with other language groups besides those two.
Since Mandarin is the official dialect they teach in school, that's the only one you need to communicate throughout China. The other dialects are not necessary if you're a foreigner.

I'm finnish. It was interesting to see my language on the list (though I knew it's there). Finnish favorite singer: Jenni Vartiainen was on that clip too with her hit song which was chosen some years ago to the best finnish love song: "Missä muruseni on" (Where is my darling)

lets change the title to "10 languages that are hard for english speakers"
Agreed, Japanese is so much easier for Chinese speaker.
Francis Meng well I am german and I find japanese pretty easy to learn😂
Why is the title relevant at all? The title and the entire video are in English; and so is the description. Clearly the video was made for those that speak English.

Because there is something as neutral difficulty and difficulty for an individual. Some people came here because they wanted to know which language is the most complex scientifically. But then again I don't think anyone expect watchmojo to know anything at all about linguistics.
Every language is difficult for the person who is not willing to learn it.
Macdealerx you're Brazilian and you are not aware that there's no such language as Brazilian? I guess Japanese is still a harder one, no trust for your words
True. Im from indonesia and ofc i speak my mother language which is also not indonesia, me speak village lamguage. But I learn english by myself. Spanish and japan. Yes it's hard but when u really want to learn
U can work on it
True but asian languages are the hardest no matter your will
@@jeton9153 nope dude. If you put effort into that and really wanna learn, i think western people can do it. an me from Asia but learn Spanish panguage since i love Spanish. It does hard but i really put effort into that. And will keep learning untill i can talk in Spanish without looking at my book.
Chinese is difficult for the person who is willing to learn it.
I know there are so many languages and i may be wrong but
I speak tamil and its pretty hard to perfect your tamil its such a diverse language that you cant even speak every single word
@Anything Everything not for you
If you are born in India
You have to learn at least 3 language
Your mother tounge - Bangla (for me)
Your national language ( Hindi)
English (everything official from schools to jobs happens in English)
doesn't korean have one of the easiest writing systems?
true.
yes but it changes between the word
and ㅔ and ㅐ sound the same so its really hard to know which one to use

Emily Hills c and k sound the same as well as c and s in some cases. nothing new
where the hell is Polish ? Try to spell my surname guys, polish should be on the 2-3 position at least
I haven't gotten around to trying to understand Polish. There seems to be too many w's where they don't belong!

Ale polski jest przecież łatwy.
Polski w ogole nie zasad!

Polski, oczywiście, ma wiele zasad. Ale jeszcze więcej wyjątków od nich.
I’m a Finn, so I speak Finnish fluently but it’s funny that even though I’m native Finnish speaker, I still struggling with this language sometimes😅
After learning Sanskrit and Hindi I can say that atleast I can atleast imitate speaking other languages.
The most difficult language to learn is
MATH!!!!!!!!!

Physics, Chemistry, Biology
No, It's Albanian
JavaScript ?
@@thybiscuit Let just say all science subjects.
mumble rap is the hardest language
And most ussules

@@Eagle_data soo Trueeeeeee
No greek is

Hardest language to learn:

Czech - Dělat, dělám, děláš, dělá, děláme, děláte, dělají, dělej, dělejme, dělejte, dělal, dělala, dělalo, dělali, dělaly, dělávat, dělávám, děláváš, dělává, děláváme, děláváte, dělávají, dělával, dělávala, dělávalo, dělávali, dělávaly, dělávej, dělávejme, dělávejte, dělán, dělána, děláno, děláni, dělány, dělaje, dělajíc, dělajíce, dělav, dělavši, dělavše, dělávaje, dělávajíc, dělávajíce, dělávav, dělávavši, dělávavše.

As a Slavic person, I can say that out of all Slavic languages, russian is the easiest to learn
+1 my personal list is: 100. Russian, 3. Ukrainan, 2. Czech, 1. Polish
As a non Slavic person who has studied some of the Slavic languages, I agree with you :-D
@@kuromibunnii7309 I study quite a few Slavic languages and Russian is by far the easiest. Even if I didn’t study them, all Slavic people know that Russian is the easiest
i agree
That's True, I really want to See someone Find macedonian Learning materials. In Macedonia there are over 40 dialects. I would say the easiest grammer is macedonian but the hardest to find
Korean itself may be difficult to learn but Hangul can be learned in as short as one hour
Josh Dormaier I learned how to read it in 15 minutes :)
True...
It looked intimidating at first, but I was surprised at how quickly I learned all the characters 😳
Is it really that easy? I've got a mad crush on this Korean girl and I am thinking to learn some Korean
Donny Cornelius no it’s not easy i have tried and it’s pain in the butt.
sanskrit and buddhism? uh..prakrit language was used during that time (research)..sanskrit is related to hinduism...and the script written on tht guy's neck is devanagri script (currently we used it in hindi) and that was jst english written in hindi nd that too wrong...
I know
1) English(Watching this video) 😂
2) Odia (Mother tongue, Born and raise)
3) Telugu (Spokes in our family my father and mother belongs to Andhra Pradesh)
4) Bengali (Job in West Bengal)
5) Hindi (National language)
6) Urdu (Similar to Hindi)
7) Sanskrit (Learned in school)
Do u really learned sanskrit in school...
Bcoz don't teach sanskrit they teach how to get marks in Sanskrit....
Anyways i am Telugu guy as a telugu person I can say that many of Sanskrit words I know bcoz they has taken many words from Sanskrit...
How many I can't say but u can find them in only pure Telugu but It has more sanskrit vocabulary than Hindi
When you're trying to learn Mandarin, Russian, Korean and Arabic at the same time and they're addressed as some of the most difficult languages in the world…
*CHALLENGE ACCEPTED*
Schools be like:
Good luck!!! I'm learning Korean, Portuguese, and Danish haha
@@katla640 Thanks!! Good luck to you too! I love Portuguese, I've studied it for a while, but I've set it aside for sometime to focus on other stuff. I've always wondered how Danish is like, though. I've never even heard the language! How is it like??
@@violence8550 Well Danish is quite hard to pronounce. Since I speak Icelandic it's very easy for me to learn. So I mostly just need to practice on pronouncing the words right. The grammar is luckily not to hard but it has letters like ø, å, and æ.
@@katla640 Oh, I see. Yeah, the pronunciation of any Slavic language is kind of hard for a Valkanian like me, too. You speak Icelandic?? Sweet! It's an awesome language I hope I learn one day.
This video is stupid, because it should have shown language groups, since, for example, Russian is not the most difficult among slavic languages, Polish has more grammar rules and sounds, even though it uses Latin alphabet. Finnish and Hungarian are from finno-uralic branch and have next to identical difficulties in learning. BtW English is not even easy, It's THE easiest, It has almost no grammar and it is clear and strict and with next to no exceptions. Even Espanol has more to offer, at least they change their nouns and pronouns according to their gender affiliation. And Spanish is also easy.
And I don't get how Finnish and Hungarian got onto the list and Estonian not (Estonian is the hardest finno-uralic language(that has land))
English the easiest?
Google for the poem "The Chaos" and learn to pronounce that completely correct.
Happy learning!
It's written by a Dutchman by the way. :)
In my opinion Bulgarian is harder to learn than the other Slavic languages because of all of its rules and stuff. It's actually proven that Bulgarian is one of the hardest languages to learn completely.
+Varangian Guard come on, I was talking about classic spoken tongue, which has nothing to do with perverse, but, nevertheless brilliant tongue twisters.
Varangian Guard "The Chaos" is not that hard.
meanwhile தமிழ் be like ' அமைதி குழந்தைகளே ' drop a like if u can read this😉
In any case, the international/business language is recognized as English. So if any country wants to be on the international stage, learning English goes a long way, and it's relatively easy.
"Only slavic language on this list is Russian."
Směje se v češtině. Řeřicha

Serus chlapi, aj vás nasralo že tam ty mantaci nedali češtinu a slovenčinu?
This is not hard
No jo no :D
Hardest language is the language of love
very touching
cheesy.
Poetic.
True, because so many people think they have become masters of the language only to use it to wound others. Many people overlook the true ability and wisdom of the language of love
FUCK the love :)
Russian: only slavic language in this list
Polish: Hold my Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz
Korean has no relations to other languages? What do you mean, so many of the words are based on Chinese and it has literally the same grammar structure as japanese? Also, shares a few words with japanese.

Its not sanskrit. It's just English written in devnagri script.
They wrote it wrong

Peter Sen yeah i can read Hindi urdu english some sort of bengali but When i read his neck i was WTH is written😂

I wonder if sage Panini is rolling in his grave. Sanskrit has more than 5000 nouns and 2000 verbs and counting and these people go on and write plain English in devanagari script and that too so erroneously 😐
In Russia,The languages speak you
:D
Nope. They dont
Равинский Евгений Yep,They do

I m Indian I can understand Hindi , Tamil, and Telugu also a little bit of Marathi
