Hi,Deven

                         Just TIME TIME TIME

I think that is need time.We always strive to improve our selves to learn something new.Espically, languge about me my native language is Arbic and now i am studing Japanese becaus I will study master their.

I  think  the harder we work the higher marks we will get.

Well. Devan, I must say English is not one of those hardest languages throughout the world, and I've learned Frence for a while, and it is really hard! And another language that I can think of is the most difficult language is Chinese, trust me, compared to Chinese, French is nothing. Try it if you don't believe me! But anyway, keep up your French learning and stick to it! Good luck on it!

Hi Devan,

French is not an easy language to learn. I study English, German and French at the same time, but neither of them is my first language. My mother tongue is Hungarian. Obviously, Hungarian is the easiest to speak, but as I know pretty much English, it's less difficult to learn French from English than from Hungarian, because English is closer to it. You just have to be very interested and deligent to learn tons of words. And by time you should try to form your simple thoughts in French. It helped me a lot with English and German. Actually, I am able to think in these languages, not like in Hungarian, though. In French I'm only somewhat beginner, but that's due to the long absence of my teacher, I think. Je te souhaite bonne études avec le franc,ais. C'est défficile, mais tu peux.And if you happen to find a page like this in French, please let me know about it.

Hey all,

my native language is Hungarian (a small country in Eastern Europe next to Austria). Everyone in the world considers it a very strange language which is impossible to understand if you hadn't learnt it before (that's because it has no close relatives like Italian/Spanish/Portuguese etc.)

The key point is that Hungarian is not an Indo-European language like all the Slavic, Romance or German etc. languages. Its grammatical thinking is very much different from what you are used to, so believe me, you would have a very difficult time trying to learn it.
What is funny is that few people speak foreign languages in this country, so foreign tourists can have problems sometimes.. Look for a youngster if you want to ask some info. :)

I guess Chinese must be really difficult, much because of its writing and the unusual sounds that it uses.

Anyway, one must have a playful attitude to learn languages - you get to like that language and it rather becomes a hobby than a duty. 

I advise everyone to speak to native speakers without any fear!

Best wishes to everyone,

Hi, so I´m from Mexico,and my native language es spanish but I dont´t think that it is easier than my other languages form example: for me is too simple the vocabulary and grammar in english, because in spanish have a lot of signs and puntuation structures, whatever, the most difficult language I ever learned is German @__@ and the most structured is japanese but when you learned and have a good a comprehension is easy.... 

Hi, Well, I'm from Mexico, so as you already know my native language is spanish and I've learned some things while learning english.

 The english language has an easy structure, 4 instance, for us who speak romance languages english is easy to learn, and it is exactly the same way for more ppl, not only us. That's why it was called the universal language, cuz it's easy to learn and comunicate.

 For you who speak english it's harder to learn romance languages, cuz these ones are more "completed". And our grammar is different.

 For me a very hard language is the arabic one. That really comes from the space. lol.

And in general, we are going to be able to learn a foreing language that is similar from our native language, obviously. The more alike they are the better we understand a 2nd language.

4 xsample, Portuguese and spanish are really very similar, and we understand each other over the 75% naturally, without studying portuguese or spanish previously, and that's the reason way it's easier for us.  

Hello everybody, My first language is Spanish and I have to agree that this language is very difficult to learn because of the verbs and the grammatical structes that native speakers use; however, regarding to pronunciation it is one of the easiest because a letter has an especific sound, diferent from English because a letter (specially vowels) has more than one sound. Besides, for me French is harder than English and Spanish due to the pronunciotion and the grammatical issues. But, I personally believe that Chinese and Japanese are the most difficult languages to learn. 

Thank you and Bye.

hi Devan,

I study languages like you and according to some linguistic's studies I did,I can tell you there aren't some languages easier than others because each one has his own structure and rules..but,thanks my personal experience I can say  that the level of difficulty in learning a language depends on your nativity language and on their relationship.Infact if you are english you can have more problems to study french than an italian because italian and french are both romance languages.

bye :)

Hey, I really liked you had shared something too personal. I do believe spanish rules!! hehe, just kidding i don't believe is the easiest one :( but we gotta admit our alphabet and reading lessons are quite easy !! Not like english, when i must have heard the word to make sure i'll pronounce it right.

It doesn't matter if we seem like kids while learning a new language... Personally, as an adult i haven't got an amazing success. But when you do act like a child... you know you can make mistakes, and it's okay !! You're like a sponge, you absob... knowledge!
