English is one of the easiest languages to learn. I dare you to try Czech (my maternal language). I double dare you!

I wouldn't know if either of those is easy or difficult because i'm too used to english already and i don't know czech, but i've heard my mother language, spanish, is a real bitch to learn. And taking into account all of the verb times, tenses and forms, i can truly believe that's true.

I've heard English is hard b/c of all the slang we use. We add like 10 ridiculous words to the dictionary every year.

I heard that Spanish is the hardest of romanic languages. Learning French and Italian, though, I can tell you that romanic languages aren't that hard. But hey, maybe Spanish is harder that these two, I dunno.

At least it's not one of those languages where nouns are gendered. Fucking ridiculous.

With my native language (German) it feels normal to me, but I agree that it must be a pain in the ass to learn. And while some of the genders do make sense, a lot of them actually don't. Other languages (I forget which) at least keep the grammatical gender true to a word's natural gender, i.e. give things neuter as their gender etc. German grammatical gender, on the other hand, is all over the place...

Same here with Arabic. Pretty much everything is gendered. My mom, who's a Filipino, has lived in the UAE for over twenty years and still hasn't truly understood how genders are assigned to Arabic words. I'm a native speaker, though, so it's hard to understand how difficult it is to learn.

Gendered nouns? That just sounds frustrating to learn. German, Russian, and Dutch seem really difficult. My friend is fluent in Mandarin and he said is was horrible learning how to wright it.

Czechfag here, same in my language. It is indeed hard to learn. Plus the fact that some things' genders don't really make sense. For example a house is masculine, a cat is feminine, chocolate is feminine, milk is neutral, table is masculine etc. And don't even get me started on conjugation. Nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, all conjugated. Really weird but every language I've tried to learn so far is easier, which is a plus.
