Considering most of us on here are not Canto speakers (and have not attempted to learn Canto), and do not know every other language to compare the difficulty of each one, why would you ask?
Although, I would really like to learn Cantonese. haha
I’ve heard Navajo and Finnish are harder.
No
No, there are many indigenous languages in africa and other tribal regions of the world that are much harder to learn simply because of the lack of materials to learn them and the closed community sets that they are used in
Never heard of it.
Could be, but i speak it, so I ono. Well, it depends on your dedication and effort, and nothing is difficult if you have these.
All those who can climb Mt.Everest should not have a theething problem with Cantonese,Hong Kong or Guandong.
Not really…then again i grew up with it. Its easier to learn cantonese to mandarin but for mandarin ppl to learn cantonese is much harder because they are used to curling the tongue…and in cantonese u don’t curl it. I think its more useful to know mandarin since most of china uses it…i went to china this summer and it was so hard to communicate with some people in guangzhou..and too hard in northern china like beijing. Hong kong is good for cantonese and english.
There are over 2650 languages in the world plus over 7000 dialects. Deciding which language is the most difficult to learn may not be as simple as you may think. Different languages present different challenges, and what constitutes a difficult language depends a lot on the individual studying it.Your mother tongue is an important deciding factor when it comes to difficulty. For example, native speakers of Italian seem to learn Spanish and Portuguese rather easily despite the complex grammatical structures of the Spanish language. On the same basis, Chinese speakers will probably pick up Japanese faster than people whose first language uses the Roman alphabet. In fact, Chinese has no grammatical system per se, which makes it easier to learn than many Western languages once you have memorized the basic characters.
Individual aptitude is another factor. Some people have a natural talent for learning new languages, while others struggle through the basics. Factors such as environment, materials used, motivation, and even environment also play an important role in how difficult a language is to learn. All that aside, the British Foreign Office conducted a language study recently and concluded that the most difficult language to learn is Basque, spoken in parts of Spain and France, followed closely by Hungarian, which has 35 cases or noun forms. On the other hand, German and Russian languages use a punctuation system said to be among the most difficult ones in the world. Languages that use characters may seem hard to read and write to users of the Roman alphabet, but they are not always that difficult. Experts agree that Chinese and Korean can be learned rather easily by speakers of Western languages; Vietnamese and Japanese, however, are much more complex.
While many native speakers see to forget this, English is actually quite difficult to learn because of pronunciation issues and irregular verbs; in English, many words are spelled the same but sound different depending on the meaning. This makes the English language hard to understand even for people whose native tongue is a related language.
As cantonese speaker,
I tell you that Cantonese is more easier than English!
I would say that Finnish, Hungarian and Danish are much harder!
Enjoy!
i like how you’re not comparing the language to any other language….
what a loaded question
Yes, there are 9 accents in Cantonese.
No, because there are several other languages albeit minor ones, you don’t even know of which are even more difficult.
It depends on who is trying to learn.
no it’s not…
coz grammar is pretty simple…
they say Hungariann is…
No, actually its the Scandinavian language is the most difficult language in the world and Icelandic is. Cantonese has 9 tones can be the most difficult dialects of Chinese you can ever go on contact with, but its not the most difficult language in the world.
No. Also, it depends on what language you already speak.
