Hardest languages to learn for english speakers?

A few months ago, I shared a post about the most spoken languages in the world. (It actually became my most popular post!

I also recently found out about which are the hardest languages to learn.

No shock, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic are the hardest - Likely because its an entirely new script and pronunciation structure. Immediately reading and writing are out of the window.

Having learned Japanese for 2 years, I can attest. It is hard, and I am so amazed at so many foreigners around me who have almost mastered the language in a few years.

Its also evident that languages that use english as their base are likely the easiest to pick up.

Good, because I always wanted to learn spanish 😉
