There are a million reasons why you should learn a new language. But how hard is it to pick up a second language? Well, some languages are easier than others for native English-speakers to learn. Whether it’s a Romance language like Portuguese, a West Germanic language like Dutch or a constructed language like Esperanto, these dialects are more straightforward for Anglophones to grasp. WatchMojo counts down ten languages that are quick for English speakers to pick up.

Top 10 easiest languages to learn-> Dutch is #7.
Top 10 hardest languages to learn-> Dutch honorable mention.
Well mastering dutch is very difficult

* for native English speakers
Dutch is soo hard because of the grammar is it so much
@@andiward7068 that was also for english speakers so this channel is contradicting themselves lol
Dutch and German are also almost alike, and dutch has some same words like English

The easiest language to learn is the language you love the most.
@@ELgeneral-pl9yg The more you love a language the more interested you'll be in learning it making it easier for you to learn it. Take my word for it, I love learning German (a language which most people have a difficult time learning) and because I love learning it so much it's become easy for me to learn it and understand a lot of the things German speakers are saying.
Ross the Chihuahua yes you can state an opinion without support because it’s an OPINION not a fact dumbass
@@oatmilkfairy He stated no to my statement with the assumption that my statement is false and gave no mention if his statement is an opinion. Concluding that we can say that his comment was what he believed to be a fact. And yes it's common sense that you need to place supporting arguments when attempting to state what you believe is fact. Which he didn't. That's all Ross was trying to say.
Maybe try thinking before you speak, hm?

Spanish is the easiest language to learn.
Verb Conjugation: I'm about to ruin this man's career.
It does make it harder than if there was no conjugation, but not harder than most language that have verb conjugation as well, which is not rare.
Moods as well, especially the subjuntive mood. It's a separate demon that one needs to defeat lol.

Dinah Ruggiero yea I noticed that too
I just don't get one thing. Why did Dutch place 6th in this video while it is also listed as an honorable mention in the Top 10 hardest languages to learn? Did I miss something?
BraveBurdOK don't you just hate it when they also butcher the pronounciations? And i have to say, ditch isn't easy, german is harder. But norwegian should be in #1 easiest spot.
don't agree on that the Dutch language has exceptions on every rule in the book. German is a lot more consistent in following rules. Even dutch people have in general a hard time getting it right being dutch myself. Hell we even adopted some of the common mistakes made by people in Dutch. English was way easier and german not that much more difficult and those being a foreign languages.
I think got an honorable mention in the other video,
because there are certain words that are difficult to pronounce for new speakers. When i speak dutch a lot of my English friends, can sort of understand what I'm talking about but struggle to write, speak, read it.
BraveBurdOK I think the people who made this list were high on crack. German, for instance, is a very difficult language to learn. There are many CZcams videos that discuss this. Even native German speakers think so.

You're smart, WatchMojo. In your own way, that is.
Its very easy to learn the basics and speak it a little bit, but mastering Dutch is very hard
For me, Dutch is so easy. It’s the easiest language I’ve ever learned. It may not be easy for some people because with the dutch language you need to be able to roll letters, and lots can’t do that.

For all of you saying why isn't English on this list she clearly said for native English speakers
Bryan G That and the fact that english is complete bullshit
Bryan G And English is one of the hardest languages to learn. I do sometimes wish I grew up with Spanish though so it'd be easier to learn the rest of the romance languages. Those languages have some weird-ass grammar rules. lol
Jake G 2187 yep. And even if you speak Spanish you would have to learn a lot. Spanish is divided in groups which takes it to another level. Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Spanish people don't talk the same type of Spanish. And the accents and pronunciations are difficult. My main language has always been Spanish and still I'm learning new words.
Yeah and the title doesn't exclude english at all now does it? The title should 100 procent be amended
English is a cakewalk. Japanese is a cakewalk. Advantage of a(n apparently) hard native language I guess.
German?! As a german I can say that it isn't easy to learn!
A Mefta War das überhaupt deutsch was die da gesprochen haben?
A Mefta a dat human being would run out of oxygen before saying " the Americans are coming" in german.
Ezekiel Elliott 'Die Amerikaner kommen' I don't think that this is a very long sentence...
A Mefta yeah it is.. learned it in a few months.. spanish was harder
Still it's probably the most popular language to be choosen to learn in Finnish high schools... Tough they never speak it afterwards...
Video: Spanish is very easy.
English: do, did, done, does, doing.
Spanish: hacer, haciendo, hecho, hechos, hecha, hechas, hago, haces, hace, hacemos, hacéis, hacen, hacía, hacías, hacíamos, hacíais, hacían, hize, hiciste, hizo, hicimos, hicieron, haré, harás, hará, haremos, haréis, harán, haga, hagas, hagamos, hagáis, hagan, hágase, hiciera, hicieras, hiciéramos, hicierais, hicieran, hiciése, hiciéseis, hiciésemos, hiciéseis, hiciesen, haz, haced.

I’m Chinese. I speak fluent English, Japanese, Korean and russian. For me the easiest must be Japanese and Korean. I got N1 japanese top level certification in two years and get topik 6 in Korean within 7 months. While I’ve been studying in English for more than 13 years and russian for 4 years but still working on. Of course, still I believe that Chinese is the easiest one in the world.
中文語法相對簡單，但是文字能搞死一票人

Yeah maybe because korean and japanese is a little bit of similar with mandarin , where English is a complete different thing for mandarin speakers , so thats why maybe it took so long for you to learn it
Chinese and other East Asian languages are so hard to learn because you have different characters for every word, and one drawing mistake can change the word completely!

The easiest language to learn would be the most similar language to the language(s) you already know, let's say i speak spanish and want to learn portuguese, it would be a cakewalk but if i spoke Japanese instead then it would be a real struggle as i would have to learn how to write different symbols, learn a new alphabet and learn how to speak in a completely different manor therefore making this list uncredible
This is definitely true, except she said it's for English speakers. It's still a bit off (Romance languages above Germanic?? Really?), but not _completely_ wrong.
Please before you attempt to learn a new language make sure you speak and write in proper english. LOL

>so what? You sometimes miss stuff even on a rereading
Is that the same excuse you gave to your English teacher?
English is by far the easiest lenguage to learn, by watching youtube i learn english in about 1 year, not even watching tutorials or things like that.
alejo_de_ale English becomes difficult in its pronunciation and spelling. We have random words and letters that letters that are silent sometimes, and not silent other times. Then we don’t have any visible accent markings so in this case “bike”and “by” make the they y makes a sort of I sound there but won’t in way. Most languages you can get a word and pronounce it correctly without a problem... English is one of the only languages you can be perfectly fluent and still be unable to pronounce something or spell something because so many of our words real our own rules.
Try to use it right then if you know it

Even my stepchildren dropped their other language courses to learn Esperanto first. It took three days to get the grammar done and then it was all basic vocabulary.

C’mon! All those comments “my language is not easy to learn”. Yes, if you’re an English native speaker: norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, french, spanish, German, Portuguese and Afrikaans are the easiest languages to learn because English is related to these languages in some way. Slavish languages have a really hard grammar and the Asian languages, in the other hand, its grammar is pretty easy but have features (tones or writing system) that does harder to learn them. Then... please stop with “french, Italian, Portuguese, etc” aren’t easy because, I’m sorry, they are in comparison with another languages.
serfin01 I know people from English speaking countries who've lived in the Netherlands for decades and still have a very strong accent. Don't know a single one who doesn't I think Dutch is especially difficult for native English speakers TBH. Dutch definitely shouldn't be on this list.
*slavic

Demo Weendjuz I don’t think it really matters if they have an accent. If they are able to communicate reliably in that language then having an accent doesn’t really matter.
You just think portuguese is easy because you didn't study all the gramatical rules.

I speak
Bengali : native
Hindi : native
English : near fluent
Urdu : near fluent
Spanish : basic
If you master either Portuguese,Italian, and Spanish you can understand Italian,Spanish, Portuguese. You become familiar with it since they are kinda related. I'm not saying you can understand everything people are saying but you get the main idea of what they are saying
I agree with you, french is the "harder" one

123ricardo210 I know, right😂 I'm Norwegian and it's SO easy compared to French and Spanish etc.

Agree Romance languages are sooo 12th century. English evolved along with other Germanic languages. Anglo-Saxon Britons stopped speaking French and Latin because they were the languages of nobility and English was simply easier to converse with the your fellow neighbours. In reality only native French speakers want to speak French to each other.
123ricardo210 well english being a germanic language clise relsted to german has a totally unique way of pronouncing words, and all thise latin words they have lent, making everything tvey try to say in even related languages sounding totally wrong, we from the ither germanic countries iften can guess pretty well how it is supposed to sound.

This is really not true. You will understand a few words, but the grammar, structure of the language and pretty much everything is different in Spanish and Tagalog. You have a few lone words and that is where the connection stops.
@@johanrodriguez7147 true, i think 'Chavacano' is much more closer to Spanish even though it contains some portogese and tagalog words.
Not true, though Filipinos can probably understand Spanish a bit more in constrast to how Spanish-speakers would be able to understand Filipino. Nevertheless, having the knowledge of adapted vocabulary is certainly an edge.
I have heard the Chabacano language once. I think it is a beautiful language I love it !!
The closest form of Spanish is Mexican Spanish when comparing with Filipino languages. They're phonology is spot on the same plus most words we borrow from Spanish are in the forms usually Mexicans will use (e.g. puwede=puede)
French is not that easy, it's a quite complex language.
I speak Spanish as my first language and I kinda agree with you, Portuguese and Italian are waaay easier for me tbh
Norwegian and Swedish are both easier than German.
SoteriosXI no german is easy atleast for lithuanians because letters are simular. For example:
Lithuanians say Ja like ya. Same as germans.
m m So do Norwegian and Swedish.
okaay papasmurf..
so is danish, which is not even on the list XD
Norwegian and Swedish are harder than German
French easy to learn? Holy fuck as much as I love how it sounds... on paper it is absolute cancer to learn.
I'll stick with my Dutch, English and decent German for now ._.
Rick 'RlCK' Hallo ._.
Rick 'RlCK' lmfao french is extremely easy for me.
YOUR MEMES ARE IRRELEVANT As a french, how the fuck have you done ? Even for us it's a tricky language
Rick 'RlCK' french is now a dirty language
DarthCruciare87 Well for me it's the exact opposite, I find writing easiest and speaking hardest. That's probably just because in 5 of the 6 years I've been studying French, the teachers barely ever spoke in French, but I have a native speaker as my teacher this year so I'm improving in spoken French.
This list is basically
Easy: romantic languages
Less easy: Germanic languages
Hard: Slavic languages
Harder: everything else
partly true, Slavic languages have 6-7 noun cases, but your statement is not exactly accurate - you say Romance languages are easy??? then try Latin, it has 7 noun cases as well plus super-complicated conjugation of verbs
Bulgarian does not have cases at all, it's as easy as germanic languages
really??? i did not know that; i thought it as complicated as Polish or Croatian
Which is a bit funny to me, as English is literally a Germanic language, but below the Romance languages.
i think the greek language is about the same level of the slavic languages. its a hard language but not as hard as japanese or chinese
4:10 (clears throat)
Dutch is hard because in the present perfect you don,t hear if there is a d or t at the end for example wordt (become)
If it's not the I form it's word but the you form is wordt
And don,t forget the persoonlijke voornaamwoorden bezittelijke voornaamwoorden voorzetsels lidwoorden werkwoorden en aanwijzende voornaamwoorden
German is one of the hardest European languages. Watchu talkin bout?
Radioactive Turtle but for english speakers is a bit easier
Radioactive Turtle Amen. Even germans can't speak or write german that good. The grammar is hard as fuck tho.
Then take a look at finish.
+alexander trimmer
Idk English has no gender forms or akkusatif, nominatif... so that's really hard to wrap your head around
ich hate nie ein problem deutsch zu lernen
if Italians can't even conjugate verbs correctly and use a decent grammar what makes you believe that foreigners can do it easily, no shade though
U are from italy?
Italian really isn't hard....
I agree, HAHAHAHAH
im italian i agree
Mojo has a top ten everything. I love it
English is my first language, but I'm like B1 in Spanish and like A1 in Catalan and am still actively learning both. I will say Spanish, once you know how latin based languages work, is the easiest of them based purely on pronunciation. Spanish is pronounced essentially as written (even Catalan isn't) aside from very few groups of sounds and h being silent.
Everyone is gonna complain about how hard their language is
exactly. French is not as easy as it looks. French is easy to learn basics, but hard to master at the end.
PoLLoLira9 i learn since 5 years france in school and i can nothing!!!
well, if u dont learn English first its one of the hardest, so many rules that contradict each other.
French is easy to learn and Spanish. The hardest i think is Chinese
well,every language is difficult in its own way.For me,English was difficult to learn cause of spelling(since my native language doesn't have such feature)But on other hand,Russian(which wm deemed as no.2 hardest language to learn)was easy for me,since it shares a lot of grammar rules and words with Serbian(my native language)...
Dutch is on the 10 hardest languages list and now it also is on the list of the easiest languages to learn. A bit contrary isn't it?
Daniël Willems No, it isn't . But if you so silly that can't read the title then It is.
Alex Spacemith Yes it is, it is on the honorable mentions list
well this is a list for english speakers, the hard one was in general
Yeah, these guys messed it up a bit.
I personally found Norwegian very easy compared to every other language on this list. The grammar rules are exactly like English, reading is mildly easy, speaking is very easy and understanding is very easy as well.
Languages I know-
Hindi (native language)
English (2nd language)
Sanskrit (a little bit)
French (a few words and pronunciation)
French is hard as fuck to learn, ok the words are relatively the same, but spelling, pronunciation, grammar and conjugation are impossible
La Vodka i tried and i got like a 48 percentage
If failure is a language Im fluent
FUCCCKING SAME
Here's what I know
Vietnamese (native tongue)
English (fluent)
Spanish (intermediate)
Chinese (conversational)
Since I lived in Houston, I basically speak all 4 major languages in the city. Y'all never know how many free taco I got just by ordering in Spanish being an Asian dude. They REALLY appreciate your effort to learn their language.
I'm South African and I grew up speaking English as a third language and learnt Afrikaans as a fourth language but I never use it actively (speaking and writing) but I do, however, use it passively (listening and reading).
I wouldn't say it's easy but it is straightforward. If you conjugate the verb "to be" or "être" in English and French respectively in the present tense you get *I am, you are, he is, she is, it is, we are, they are* and *je suis, tu es, il est, elle est, on est, vous êtes, nous sommes, ils sont, elles sont.* Compare with the Afrikaans "om te wees" which yields *ek is, jy is, hy is, sy is, dit is, ons is, hulle is.* The spelling is also phonetic unlike English and French. You can also guess the form of a verb in the past tense and most of the time you'll get it right. You'd have to speak English well to have an easier time.
I mostly just had to learn where to place my verbs and the rest was just vocabulary acquisition ...and idiomatic expressions, of course.
Awe
As a Spanish speaker, I found Italian way harder than French. Italian "seems" easy if you speak Castellano, but the verb tenses are WAY more complex than it looks and there are more exceptions than rules.
Spanish has the same complicated verb tenses like Italian. I think Spanish has more complicated verb tenses than Italian because Italian verbs are more regular. So, I don't know why you complain
look,spanish,french,italian and portuguese are kind of difficult thanks for pronunsation and all those lines over the letters (in spanish are called "tildes") but they are way more dificult than other lenguages like english, but well, long live latins :v
El Imperio Renacido Italian only has accents which is for the pronunciation of certain words like "e" (which means and) and "è" (which means is). Otherwise the pronunciation is quite easy cause most words are pronounced the way they're written. The only hard thing really is grammar cause of the verbs
Is Spanish easy to learn my English is shit
Languages worth to learn :
1. English
2. Spanish
3. French
4. Russian
Chinese is super easy to learn
you forgot germany, in case.. , you know...
@@dizzychineseman7445 Yeah, just 8,000 characters... At least.
@@kjn3350 yea and you only have to learn like 50
Add chinese and arabic and you have the 6 languages you can use in the U.N.
French ? Really ? As a french speaker i'm gonna say no it's super hard to learn for one reason...they are so many many rules and conjugation...it's crazy and if you don't apply them, we hear it and it sound weird...like a very very square box...Good luck if you try to learn it, we applaud you if you try it in Québec, it's very well seen...not really in France...
Whether a foreign language is easy or difficult depends largely on the learner. There are several factors to consider here, both internal and external, short term and long term.
Internal factors :
• Linguistic capacity
• Memory capacity
• Passion, determination, or drive
• Self-discipline
• Mentality
External factors :
• sleep quality
• physical environment
• language and culture immersion

Okay, french and german are very hard cause they have many exceptions that you can't learn by heart. And german is even harder because of its three different articles.There is no way you could ever learn that. My english teacher lives for over 10 years in Germany and she isn't even close to get the right articles for every word....I don't know why french and german are on this list...
häschenpantoffel23 basic French is not so hard but German is so hard
I mean most languages have 2 articles, most of the time not even following rules, where German if you really dedicate yourself and learn the article with the word you'll get it down.
Dalton Silverman It's not only the genders but also "die Fälle":
The tree has green leaves.
DER Baum hat grüne Blätter.
->Nominativ
I can see the tree.
Ich kann DEN Baum sehen.
->Akkusativ
The leaves belong to the tree.
Die Blätter gehören DEM Baum.
->Dativ
These are the leaves of the tree.
Das sind die Blätter DES Baumes.
->Genitiv
Because they have many words that sound similar to English.
And yes it's possible to learn all three articles. People can speak hard ass languages like Finnish and Estonian, right? So how could they not be able to speak German. It's child's play compared to Chinese or Mongolian.
It's easier for German speakers to speak English than for English speakers to speak German because of the accent and articles.
"French is easy" *goes on to list all the difficult things about the language*
Yeah I have French at school ( Im Dutch ) and its soo different
Arwen same
Plus infinite tenses.
Le passé simple est horrible
All the languages I know:
English which is my main
French which I’ve had school lessons on for the past 2 years and I’m now fluent and only 14 so that’s pretty cool ig
Bit of German as I learned it in primary school
And that’s all✌️
I just want everyone to know that German is hard as fuck, like, there's 16 ways to say "the"...
Ps. Saying dutch is a lot like German is like saying English is like Japanese
portuguese is easy to learn? wtf
americans can't even say "não"
joao victor soares de melo and they used an American dude that fucked everything he spoke in the video. LOL
oi garota, você, fica comigo?
Paulo Jorge Cruz Pereira Rodrigues Melo e Almeida WatchMojo is Canadian (yes our accents are extremely similar that it's difficult to distinguish between an American accent and a Canadian accent)
joao victor soares de melo then how he fuck do oh pronounce it then?
Black-Op345Gaming NAumgh
honestly, i think that a language is either easy or not depending on your native language.
if your native language is part of latins or germanic languages of course european languages would be easier than, for example, asian ones.
personally, i am italian, and i'm not saying that italian is a difficult language, because compared with others is not, but i think that maybe for other countries is not as easy as it's described.
sorry for my comment, is not even important, and sorry if i made errors but as i wrote, i'm italian and english is not my first language.
ps: in my opinion english is way easier than italian
Sono d'accordo, ma in quanto italiano non l ho più fatto, finché non avevo sette anni, la mia prima lingua era inglese.
Italian takes 650 hours to learn while English 1500 hours to learn. Italians reading is straight forward and with very few vowel sounds, conjugations take awhile but that's about it lol.
And french too
I'm from india and i know English plzz suggest me for second language... German, spanish or othe language u suggest me
Ciao neirde!
My first language is French and i learned english for business. I have to say, i can get a general idea of what is being said in spanish and italien (if spoken slowly) as they use a lot of words that are similar to my languages
I had French at school for six years now I'm a year without learning and practicing it and i have completely forgotten it

Since everything was compared to English shouldn't the title be: Easiest Languages for English speakers to Learn
B rye she mentioned at the start that it was the easiest for a native english speaker
B rye
In Finland Swedish is taught as a mandatory language. And it's fucking impossible, since the Swedish speaking minority is very small and you don't get to use the language or hear it, unlike English. Finnish is very different than Swedish so it doesn't help at all. So for English only speakers it might be relatively easy, but not for us Finns XD even for me, who can speak realtively good English
English channel and they mention it n the video. But yes you are correct.
I speak bosnian english and a bit of german still learning it but bosnian crotian serbian and montenegrin are all the same languages but diffrent accents so i guess i speak 6 languages
