I'm pretty sure that hungarian is about the 4th hardest language in the world *funny ural noises
Comment from : @Gibbysaurio

People underestimate how many hours they need to study EACH DAY, in order to reach 600 hours in 24 weeks The answer is 4 hours per day (and that's with a teacher) That is for category I languages brThere are no shortcuts

Hi Olly, have you ever been on Luke’s English podcast? Or I am mixing something up?
Comment from : @zarinaz7554

ALL OF YOUR LIFE…I’ve learned several languages…Welsh…RussianSpanish…Finnish…and now Ukrainian…and I believe I will always be learning these languages…I am a native (American) English speaker…and I STILL LEARN THINGS IN ENGLISH almost every day!!!
Comment from : @sterlingdafydd5834

I have no idea what the language is I am not sure I have ever heard it before SI level must be a 4 or a 5 maybe because you're working with a completely different alphabet

I wonder which category the Irish language would be in
Comment from : @arbiterdream

Once u have learn some languages, you sort of "get" about what you're looking for when learning for another language
Comment from : @Thisisabigbloon

I bet Welsh is in category 1 I dont think it’s any more difficult than French
Comment from : @harper277

Thankfully i grew up with English and Spanish
Comment from : @AG-sb7pu

Ive started with portugese a couple of days ago I have learned 600 words in 6 days according to my flashcards
Comment from : @anul6801

Por lo menos el español no es tan difícil Es cierto que la conjugación de verbos y el género complican un poco el aprendizaje, pero no pasa nada si alguien no nativo dice “el mesa” Se lo ayuda para que lo diga bien y ya está
Comment from : @facundoaguilera3641

Funny how relative this is As a Dutch native speaker I would put English, German, Norwegian and Swedish on category 1, and Danish and the romance languages on category 2 Studying Spanish to a C1 level was so hard because of the verbs, many tenses and the dreaded subjunctive mood and I still can't roll the r completelybrbrI'm learning German now and it's like a walk in the park Yes, it has long words but so has Dutch and they are usually similar The verb's come at the end, just like Dutch and the conjugations are similar Half the verbs and nouns are similar, a few identical Any Dutch person grows up hearing at least a bit German so pronunciation is not a big hurdle Yes it has cases but if you make a mistake people will still get you unlike the verbs of Spanish Also, Dutch has remnants of the possessive case in certain phrases so in German it sounds super familiar Nouns have like 9 types of plural, like woman/women or mouse/mice, which is just a lot of work but not a difficult conceptbrbrOn the other hand I once met two Chinese girls who both had a similar level in English and Spanish They told me that to them both languages were equally hard

Comment from : @jjoltt4586

Learn about 800 words well in any language and you can get along i think I learn best when im forced to use the language Im hoping to spend about a year in several countries when i retire and learn several languages at the most basic level Not a tremendous goal i know but for me it will be fun
Comment from : @wesleygordon9413

I'm learning Interlingua, category 0 😂, I'm enjoying the swift progress so I'm actually spending a few hours every day acquiring it, something I just wouldn't do before and it's based on romance languages so there will be a smooth transition I tip my hat to people starting with Arabic or Chinese as their first language God help you all lol

I am greek native speaker and I learned English and I am trying to learn russian Pray for me
Comment from : @marioschristidis5623

As a native Arabic speaker and a university teacher of Arabic speakers, I believe that for non-native speakers to master it, serious study for a period of no less than ten years is required
Comment from : @HassenDjebbar-tn3xx

بصفتي ناطقا بالعربية أصلا ومدرسا للناطقين بها بالجامعة أعتقد أن إتقانها من الناطقين بغيرها يتطلب الدراسة الجادة لمدة لا تقل عن عشر سنوات
Comment from : @HassenDjebbar-tn3xx

Hi,brAs already mentioned in some comments, this table is actually one-sidedly aimed at English speakersbrThere is little doubt about category 5, mainly Asian languages, although I do not understand why Korean, with a logical and phonetic alphabet, is mentioned here while Thai as a (5) tone language with a complicated alphabet is not mentioned, at least not in this videobrbrThe placement of Indonesian in category 3 is also questionable for people with a Dutch-speaking background (the Netherlands, Flanders and South Africa) Indonesian has a phonetic alphabet, simple conjugations and tenses, many Dutch loan words and so onbrbrOK, there will always be some discussion after all, it is about languages blah blah blah ;-))brbrGreetings & all the best for 2025
Comment from : @brudo5056

Is French or German harder?

Comment from : @masscreationbroadcasts

The 600 hours of classroom assumes another 200 - 400 hours of homework Therefore, figure 1000 hours to get to B2 on a level 1 language That sounds about right

Comment from : @boigeorge1149

After discovering Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is categorized 2 in this video, I stopped watching Bahasa Indonesia is much easier than French or Dutch, both written and spoken He's just making things look very difficult, to make his video interesting
Comment from : @bungasujatmo1439

I know its tagalog, but I've never seen Filipino script Chinese and Spanish influence is a dead giveaway
Comment from : @hiei248

Yes Polish has 3 tenses but many forms of each oneabout 50 conjugations of each verb that are grouped in 16 different groups and subgroups of regular verbsand unfortunately most verbs are irregulartry to remember 50 conjugations of hundreds of irregular verbsand Polish has also 5 gendersI explained it before but YT eliminate my comment for some reason
Comment from : @joseperes777

I always wanted to be a polyglot, but I can’t even learn Spanish
Comment from :

I know you were talking about Tagalog because that's the language I'm learning It doesn't seem like a category 4 to me because there is so much English used inside of the language,
Comment from : @arealgoodguy

The blend of languages was a clue I think it's Tagalog
Comment from : @lindacgrace2973

In which category would basque be?
Comment from : @Rifinho03

I saw the script (Baybayin I believe) and knew it was a language of the Philippines Is it Cebuano??
Comment from : @terras25thdeity

Actually surprised that Romanian is in the easiest tier, literally all English speakers are clueless if they hear, even though a some words are similar
Comment from : @HDJess

My guess is the language of the Philippines (not certain of spelling—Tagalog?) The video of the young lady speaking was a major clue - the way the language sounds and her appearance
Comment from : @Annie-Ks1953

This is mutual For Hungarians, English is a tremendous challenge After 20 years of learning, I still haven't mastered it
Comment from : @Hirodal

I just learn several for indefinite time😅
Comment from : @amikecoru

Been a bit over a year learning Finnish and I’m not even B1 Sitting around A23 Not easy The 16 grammatical cases aside, the vocabulary is probably the most difficult thing The only saving grace is the alphabet being Latin letters This is also the first language I’ve decided to learn outside of English
Comment from : @CP4884

Tagalog Lived in the Philippines for 3 years I love how flexible it is Once it clicks, it is very fun I would guess category 3-4

Comment from : @singlesideman

Filipino is the mystery language I'm also learning Thai and Korean at the same time Why do I torture myself like this rofl Edit: I was so close and I knew it, but couldn't remember how to spell Tagalog Quite sad really My Uncle is married to an amazing Filipino woman and there are quite a few Filipino families in the small town I live in
Comment from : @shyphirenflowerchild4631

polish like thai also has gendered endings of words, łam and łem
Comment from : @j6fefk97he4h

Meanwhile, I have heard that English can be challenging, because it doesn't follow its own spelling rules Or any other spelling rules either!
Comment from : @brendaross9732

It's funny how I learnt to speak in a trashy way a level 4 language at four years old and I still fuck up the language I mean I'm terrible in french too But it's an oxymoron I'm better at English than italian (my native language) and fucking Russian (my mom's native language) I even learnt it in school I honestly blame my granddad for not correcting me enough when I was a kid Gosh I made up so many words it's not even funny I did notice though I had a way easier time speaking the last time around a childhood friend of my mom came over The first one spoke a mixture of Ukrainian and Russian And although there are similar sounds the cadence is totally different and most words are vastly different The other friend and her son were much more approachable and easier to speak to as they spoke a clean Russian I was told by both I'm a very nice person to hang around with, so I guess I also spoke clearly Although my grammar could use some polishing I'd say if I was stuck in the bear zone (we have bears in italy too but I mean bthat/b bear zone) people wouldn't pretend to not understand like the french Also funnily enough my brother speaks really bad in Russian, and he happens to look like mom if she was Mediterranean for some reason He was asked something by a girl on a flight to or from Bulgaria in Russian and he was so confused as to how she immediately clocked him as one of their own Bulgarian is more similar to Russian as in if you speak to them in Russian they understand you for the most part But it's funny to think of him as Russian when he looks like the most average white European dude I guess I have the same effect as I look nothing italian yet I'm native italian and speak some nice ass Russian
