For people wanting to learn Arabic (I’m Saudi Arabian and it’s my mother tongue) Brian was speaking in a sharp Egyptian accent, which is VERY different from the way it’s spoken in other countries.
يقول الله تعالى في القرآن الكريم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ( وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْعَالِمِينَ )

I’m a ordinary Japanese and I don’t have any specific religion, so it’s hard for me to imagine how Allah is precious for Muslims , but I want to show respect a lot for their deep faith.
Knowledgeable and pretty decent pronunciation too 👌
English people when they realize that because of accents it really doesn’t matter how weird you say a word as long as you know what word your referring to 😂
أولًا : العربية فيها لكنات مختلفة وأنت تتحدّث باللكنة المصرية تحديدًا، بالإضافة إلى وجود لكنة فصيحة (لغة عربية فصحى). (وأنا أكتب بالفصحى ليتمكن الناس من ترجمة كلامي، اللغة العامية باللكنة المصرية أو السعودية أو غيرها، يصعب ترجمتها في قوقل مثلًا، حرفيًا يبدو الأمر مستحيل، ورغم أختلاف طريقة كلامنا بنسبة لا بأس بها، نحن نفهم بعضنا ولكن قد نجهل معنى كلمات معينة أو حتّى جُمل)
فالمصري يقول : عايز أروَّح. والسعودي يقول : أبغى أروْح
(بمعنى : أرغب في الرحيل)
المصري يقول : عايزين تسيبوني. والسعودي يقول : تبغون تخلوني.
(بمعنى : تُريدون تَركِي "لوحدي")
وطبعًا العربية باللكنة العامية هي بحر من الكلمات، ناهيك عن كثرة الكلمات الفصيحة بحد ذاتها
الأمر الآخر : في العربية توجد كلمات من نفس الحروف تمامًا لكن عند اختلاف نطقها يختلف معناها، مثل الموجودة في اللغات التي ذكرتها أو حتّى اللغة الإنجليزية، ولا سيّما في اللغة العربية باللكنات المختلفة، مع وجود كلمات كهذه في الفصحى أيضًا.
مثل : كلمة «وَجَدْت» تأتي بمعنى «لاقيت الشيء أو الشخص» أو بمعنى «علمت به»
وكلمة «غُروب» تأتي بمعنى «زوال الشمس» أو بمعنى «جمع غَريب» وهو الشخص المجهول.
ولا بد في العربية من التفريق بين «ض» و«ظ» فمثلًا : «الحضيض» هو أسفل سافلين، يعني القاع تمامًا.
في حين أنَّ «الحظيظ» هو الشخص «المحظوظ» «سعيد الحظ»
وغيرها كثير من الأمثلة ..
وهناك بيت شعري يقول :
ألم ألم ألم ألم بدائه
إن آن آن آن آن أوانه
بمعنى : ألم أصاب الجسد ولا أعرف المرض المسبب له، إن حان وقت فهو وقت شفائه.
وبالحركات في العربية تكون هكذا :
أَلمٌ أَلمَّ أَلمْ أُلِمَّ بِدائهِ
إنْ آنَ آنٌ آنَ آنُ أوانهِ
وأيضًا للذين لم يعتادوا القراءة بالعربية يكون الأمر صعب بالبداية؛ لأن الكتابة بالغالب تتم دون رسم الحركات فوق الحروف.
فمثلًا «أما» قد تكون «أَمَا» وقد تكون «أَمَّا» «أَمَا» كلمة للتنبية أو عرض شيء، ويكثر قولها قبل القسم، مثل : «أَمَا والله» و«أَمَّا» تعتبر مرادفة لكلمة لكن.
و«لكن» قد تُقرأ «لكنْ» وقد تُقرأ «لكنَّ»
و«تَقرأ» تختلف عن «تُقرأ» في الصوت تختلف بالطبع ويمكن تمييزها، لكنّني أتحدّث عن شكل الكلمة وحروفها، حيث أنّها نفس الحروف تمامًا.
لمن سيترجم كلامي قد لا يكون الكلام مفهوم بسبب أن المترجم قد لا يترجم الكلمات المتشابهة بالحروف والمختلفة بالحركات، بشكل جيد، حيث يعتمد على الحروف ولا يراعي الحركات وتأثيرها في المعنى.

I learn Japanese and Arabic and I find Japanese easier!
Omg! U serious 😂 I’m arab

So, iam an arab learning English and Japanese 🙂
As someone whose first language wasn't always English (I'm from Bosnia) and had to learn English at the age of 10 when moving countries, I also learned Arabic at 16 (became fluent a few years later, including standard Arabic), as well as Syrian dialect, and now learning Japanese, I must say that my years of studying Arabic prior to this gives me huge bias towards Arabic, so I'd say right now that's way easier for me to understand and speak, but as for learning, I do agree that Japanese is easier to pick up. My next goal after becoming semi-fluent in Japanese is to pick up Russian (that one will be a breeze, since my mother tongue is a Slavic language already and shares thousands of common words with Russian which I already know by default). Learning the Russian Cyrillic alphabet was also a breeze since it's similar to the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, which I had learned at school in Bosnia in 3rd grade.
Dear Mr Wiles! Thanks for your wonderful video comparing 3 really heavy languages each challenging its learner with lots of difficulties and, besides, confronting him or her with a long history and a huge literature. What makes this triple challenge even more formidable is that the learner has also to master 3 different writing systems, just the most difficult on planet Earth. Your are not only a great language learner, but also a skilful, tricky teacher, who is entertaining and enjoyable to listen to as well. I consider your almost perfect pronunciation of these 3 languages, which are so different in this respect, a big achievement proving you a real talent for languages, that is a pretty gifted linguist.#
Japanese alone has three different writing systems.
I am an Arab and this man did not speak classical Arabic in this clip originally! Rather, speak a weak colloquial dialect, coming up with the correct qualities to pronounce letters is very difficult among the Arabs themselves, let alone among foreigners?

Good luck with studying languages together!
I'm Japanese. He showed 10:07 how opposite are the sentence constructions between Japanese and English. That's also why we Japanese are quite bad at mastering English.
Japanese grammar is actually similar to Turkey's (a.k.a agglutinative languages). These sentence constructions are not so strict but very flexible because of the marker-particles that define the word's function in the sentence, so we can shuffle the order or drop the subject/object/verb. However, this grammar concept is quite alien to the English. The only strict thing in English is sentence construction, the function of the word is defined by its positions, not by conjugations or particles. So, sometimes we can't understand an English sentence even though we know every single word in it.
I wonder, since you know Kanji, would you be able to understand written Mandarin Chinese? But in Chinese, the function of a word is defined by its position too, like in English.
Of course not, answering as a average Japanese person who have not learned Chinese. Sometimes we can understand short words written in Chinese but it's hard to understand a whole sentence. In addition, they use many of unknown Kanji(Hanzi) for us.
I am surprised Turkish is not on this list.
as a turkish, who's just started learning japanese, i totally agree with you. Learning Japanese is so enjoyable for me
Japanese grammar is almost 99% identical as Korean grammar.
Impressive explanation.
Gut gemacht 👌👍
Thank you!

Good video, by the way I am also learning French as a second language not counting my mother language Arabic, and I know English. and you may find the counting system hard which it is hard ngl, but when you learn it and reach the numbers from 100-1000 you will find it very logical and actually Arabic grammar is like a connecting system you find each rule has a connection and supports the other one
Actually Japanese has an even crazier counting system. There are many of them, depending on what it is you're counting. And they just keep getting more bizarre as you go on. For example, there is a separate counting system just for counting cylindrical objects (like trees, pens, bottles, pipes, etc.).
Here's a playlist of 29 videos, 14 of which are different ways to count depending on what it is you're counting.

@@user-rw3bk6wp4m Ah makes sense.. I suppose it's quite easy once you learn them all, they just look hard on the surface at first
Thank you very much for the explanation
There's a little problem...
大丈夫 in mandarin means big man is right, but it's only its surface meaning.
大丈夫 also means a person (always a man) who is brave and generous. For example, in classical Chinese, “此乃大丈夫也” means This is a brave and generous person, in this sentence 大丈夫 has the meannings of brave and generous. Japanese took the meaning of generous and put it into the meaning of "I won't care about it" or "It's OK"
In modern Chinese 大丈夫 still has the meanings of generous and brave, but it is not always used. Nowadays mandarin speakers may use ”没关系“ “没事” to express "It's OK"
as a native arabic speaker, i must say your pronunciation is incredible for real.
also i never noticed "صباح الخير" would be so hard to pronounce lol. it's like a piece of cake for us :)

Thank you, Mr. Brian. I follow your lessons constantly, and I hope that you will provide us with many English language lessons and will not be absent from us.🎉
I can't believe you didn't touch on onyomi and kunyomi regarding reading japanese.
生
Yup. Japanese basically looked at Chinese writing, asked "you think that's fucked up? Hold my sake" and went ever so slightly nuts. Koreans thankfully had the fortitude to do away with characters and just write in an alphabet. (They'd already disposed of their equivalent of kunyomi, as far as I understand, and just wrote native words phonetically)
Well, I talked to English speaker before on this, and they don't really care if it's onyomi or kunyomi as it's just a 'sound' to them - just like how they remember 'a new word' in English. These 2 matter most to Chinese when learning Japanese as they remember Kanji then onyomi or kunyomi matter. People's brain has been structured and trained by their mother language.
@@yingyimo1592 That's true, but the thing is kunyomi/onyomi just adds readings and reduces the consistency of the already shoddy phonetic information the characters' Sinitic readings contain.
because learning on and kun is a waste of time. just learn the actual vocabulary and use the kanji as nothing more than a convenient way of representing the words.
Excellent video. Would love to know your opinion on which languages would constitute the next tier of difficulty below these three. Korean, Hungarian, Finnish, Polish, Russian, Navajo?

I learned Japanese to fluency and Mandarin to broken-degree. First I was pleased as the grammar was easier than anything I've ever seen. But the tones got to me and I find the language extremely "brittle". Meaning if you mess up a few things, they quickly don't understand what you try to say. In now hundreds of hours of speaking Japanese with natives, I really can't remember a single instance where they asked me what I meant or clearly didn't understand what I said. Somehow Japanese seems more "robust" with respect to mistakes and on top of that, due to the culture of dropping subjects, objects and even verbs all the time, as you said, they have developed extremely good skills at guessing what you want to say. I found speaking with Japanese natives a really joyful and effortless experience from the start, even when I was still very bad at it. While with Chinese I often felt like we were truly sitting in different worlds. I have this hypothesis of "Inverse Relationship between linguistic robustness and grammatical complexity". It could be total BS and I am an engineer and know nothing about linguistics, but it seems to me that the harder the grammar, the more you can make mistakes without too many consequences. My native tongue is German, which is fairly difficult grammatically, for example it has these dreaded 4 "cases" that learners always fear. But in practical terms, I often speak with foreigners that make like 8 mistakes per sentence, wrong conjugations, and mess up like 85% of these cases etc, and still, communication is totally no issue, at times even totally fluent. Sure you don't sound native but we understand 99% of what you say perfectly. Chinese has easy grammar and I realized often if you mess up one little thing, the meaning is lost. I once forgot a "个" (which is pronounced "ge" more or less for those who don't know mandarin, so very very short) and the person didn't understand what I wanted to say. I quit Chinese, for a few reasons. I was frustrated with the tones, and also the horrible slurring and bumbling when they speak fast. Japanese often speak faster but apart from the odd 100 year old grand pa, you always hear everything they say clearly. Also I have no connection to China, I never go there, while I visit Japan often...
I haven’t done mandarin yet, but I think that’s what makes Japanese the worst for me, because I don’t think the grammar is complex like you said…it’s worse, it’s ambiguous 😱! Because so many things are dropped for seemingly no reason other than preference, it feels like it’s harder to be wrong, but also harder to be “right”, and my biggest problem in language-learning is that in general I care too much about correctness. I haven’t had this much of a problem in other languages, because after a certain point of studying and understanding I’m able to tell when something sounds “right” or “wrong”, but I feel like it’s comparatively so hard to tell if it’s correct in Japanese still
@@diegotejada55 Yes, developing a "feel" for Japanese takes a long time. I have it to some limited degree now, but still very limited. We should get over ourselves and stop putting the language on a pedestal and spending every second in fear of making a mistake, or not sounding like a native. A few CZcamsrs here have done HUGE damage to the Japanese learning community, especially beginners, by making videos where they for example "pretend to be beginners making mistakes" and still sound 10x better than most of all learners ever will in their life. In particular Dogen and "MattVsJapan". Dogen makes really funny content and seems like a nice and smart guy, but his obsession with sounding native-like and putting Japanese on SUCH an insane pedestal has caused a lot of damage. Language is a tool to communicate. Sure its always good to improve, but your goal should NOT be to sound like a perfect native, but being able to use the language such that you can have meaningful discussions and form new friendships and save your butt when you need to order food somewhere where no one speaks English. Spend more time to learn about the country and culture through the language, rather than trying to get flawless pronunciation. I really love Dogen but I hate him for also almost making me quit my Japanese studies 2 years ago. Glad I didn't and didn't care about their silly obsessions! Go for it!!! 💪🏻💪🏻
@@amarug "I hate him for also almost making me Japanese" He almost made you Japanese, you mean like with a citizenship and everything?
@@earlysda 😂😂😂 I should not reply to comments half asleep. "for almost making me quit learning Japanese" ;)
@@diegotejada55Language is culture itself, so it's not only about pitch accent, pronunciation, vocabulary, expressions, or grammar. And Japanese is a high-context culture, so a simple bow can mean excuse me, sorry, thank you, please, it's been a long time, or good morning, depending on circumstance.
Naturally, natives don't need much effort to understand the context. Or more accurately, words are added to avoid miscommunication. Which is why we can understand each other at times without the subject, verb, or object. In KOKUGO class, we also do study about direct and indirect inferences since childhood so everyone is on the same page.
Honestly, most foreigners are not really fluent in Japanese. They're good enough to order in a restaurant, but they cannot read or understand a novel or newspaper in Japan. They cannot make business proposals or read government documents.
The CZcamsrs you mentioned can read materials meant for natives, like the many foreign/international students who graduate from Japanese universities each year. They're not language beginners by any means. But they also have high expectations for themselves. We have always had people like Donald Keene and Alexander Vovin. They are the exception.
I agree with you about Arabic, even for native speakers is hard to learn, I'm a native speaker of Arabic and I can make sure that I don't have enough knowledge about Arabic grammar.
btw: I'm a postgraduate student

From an Arabic native speaker.
I'd say pronunciations aren't part of how hard a language is. It can be hard at the start, but after a few months, pronunciation isn't a blocker for learning.
Instead, I'd replace it with "available language content". Native indigenous languages are some of the hardest because there's no available learning content. Similar to chinese.
Compared to Japanese, it has a huge amount of content. They make so many interesting shows that it makes it easy. Also, why so many people can learn English. There's so much English content out there it makes it easy.
Thanks for saying what I wanted to say.
"Similar to chinese"
If by Chinese you mean Mandarin then not at all. Mandarin has a huge amount of resources and content online.
@theodiscusgaming3909 They have content but nothing too interesting or at different levels of learning. Most locals watch content from abroad with translation. They have a decent amount of songs, but tv shows and movies are mostly bollywood tier quality... not for everyone. And there's very little variation in their content, seen one seen them all. Along with that, finding the content on western internet like youtube is difficult and subtitles too. Compared with Spanish or Japanese it is night and day differences

I agree with Arabic. As a Muslim growing up who had to learn Arabic and then took an interest in learning Japanese later. Arabic is definitely more sophisticated than Japanese. I was able to learn Japanese very well within 6 months and after years of dropping the Japanese language because I never had real practice with people, I still remember a lot even today. On the other hand I spend 8 years learning Arabic growing up as a child and I forgot most of it😂.
How did you learn japanese in 6 months
Makes me realize just how far I had to go in becoming fluent in spoken and standard Arabic, as well as dialect (Syrian dialect btw). And now I'm learning Japanese. Sentence structure is easy once you catch on to it, and context and dropped words or particles likewise. It just takes a lot of listening, and it's not quite as hard once you get used to it. At this point the only thing that still remains challenging is kanji. I learn using the acquisition learning method, so naturally that would mean I only learn the kanji that I need, when I need them, hence I only know about 15-20 kanji so far.

Over all, very nice and I just have subscribed.
I speak English, Spanish, and Japanese.
Being half Mexican and growing up around it in my 95% hispanic town certainly helped lay a foundation for me though. But I didn't always speak it, I learned it after high school.
I could understand it (contextual speaker) but I wasn't good at speaking it or expressing myself. But after a few months of serious studying I could safely say I speak Spanish finally. It was actually stupid easy to be honest.
Japanese took 2 years. I started the first 2 months by learning to read and write Hiragana and Katakana by heart (forget about Kanji for a second) and then I memorized hundreds of the most common vocab words, and hundreds of the most common phrases. Upon memorizing so much stuff, I quickly learned I was easily able to understand how the grammar works even without watching 1 hour videos explaining how the grammar works. lol
But I also had a lot of help from random youtube shorts and fun videos explaining the grammar every now and then, or sometimes they would tell me new formal and informal ways of saying things and I'd memorize that too. I started shadowing subbed anime more as well, really trying to repeat what the character said and almost role play it, it made it easier for my brain to remember. A few other things, but yeah, I had a very make shift wacky approach to Japanese. Then I kind of learned Kanji here and there eventually, still learning. Basically I brute forced my way to becoming conversational in Japanese by memorizing 2K+ words and phrases and learning slang, ect.

You impressed me with the fluency of your tongue. You speak the Arabic language very well. God willing, I am an Arab young man
As someone who's been learning mandarin for a few months, I think it's definitely not the hardest language. Once you get over the speed bump of tones it really is a question of memorisation and immersion.
Arabic, with its intense grammar and lack of centralisation seems by far the hardest.
Honorable mention to Navajo. From what i've heard it's just as hard as Arabic and good luck finding resources for that..
Great video! Fun fact: Amharic and Japanese have the same syntax.
My definition of syntax: "How we put words together in a sentence to make sense."
Wow I had no idea! Thanks for letting me know 👍
Although alluded to, one of the biggest difficulties with Arabic is that most people don’t actually speak MSA in conversation so when you really want to learn, you have to study both MSA and the regional dialect (eg Egyptian), so you’re basically learning two languages in one. This probably should’ve weighed it higher in difficulty
Agree. He should have considered availability of material and dialect differences.
Japanese has a single standard for academics and it is easily understood by all Japanese speakers. Japan is one of the most prolific producers of popular media from movies, video games, manga, anime, music, etc. it is incredibly easy to fill your day with input in Japanese on any topic.
Chinese has plenty of material too but you have to pick a language first within the Chinese family. Even if you choose Mandarin, there are many regional differences and of course much popular media is in Cantonese or other languages.
Arabic has far less input material, especially if you aren’t learning Egyptian Arabic. You won’t find nearly the same amount of comic books, light novels, animation, etc. And as you said the regional differences can be huge.

@@youssefrabiee5033 oops a little misspell lol
Interesting video, as an English speaker that has learned Japanese to an upper intermediate level pushing advanced. I would put writing/reading as a solid 10, maybe even a 10+ and bring chinese down a point or 2. I don't speak Chinese but I have a basic level knowlege of the language and while the tone has the potential to change depending on the word, It's of my understanding that each character has one reading assigned to it. Japanese kanji has a minimun of 2 different readings. some of which have up to 13, which are also subject to slightly change from soft to hard consonents for ease of pronunciation. For example in the phrase, 女子部屋 (womens room), the first character, 女 by itself is read as "on'na", and the second character 子 is read as "ko". But when put together they are read as joshi, not on'na ko. furthermore the word 部屋 (room) is read as heya, but not so fast, becuse it is preceded by 女子 (joushi) it changes from heya to beya, making the phrase read as "joshi beya", and this is not a rare thing, it happens quite a lot. However to even the scales a little, I do belive pronouncing Chinese to be much harder, especially when you are starting to learn it. And while Japanese does have pitch accent, it's not neccasary to know to be understood in the language, it's more of just sounding more natural and being slighly easier to be understood. If I was telling my JPN friend that the event was closed becuase it started raining, but I said the wrong pitch accent and instead of rain, said candy, it would only take him 0.3 seconds to realize I meant it was raining, and not that candy was literally falling from the sky. Or if I went to a resaurant and asked for a bridge It wouldn't take them long to realize I meant chopsticks. Wile pitch accent exists in Japanese it's not nearly as crucial in terms of understanding as it is in chinese. For that reason I would bring chinese pronunciation up a point or two.
So i'm lucky to know Arabic, English, some Spanish as well 😂 Nice video keep it up ❤😊
As a Japanese, I think the most difficult thing to learn Japanese is “Onomatope”, which is often used like the adverb. If you are interested in it, please search and know how difficult it is.

When I hear japanese people speaking japanese it's like hearing the sound of a machine gun. I dream of one day that i can have a casual conversation with a Japanese person.
Technically language learning is easy especially if you have the right tools. Immersive translate has been working out for me and i have never had an issue with foreign language difficulty at any point since i tried it out. I love it.
Nice video! After mentioning the difference in counters in Arabic, I thought you'd mention the plethora of Japanese counters.
As a korean, japanese and chinese are easier than english to understand. I can understand some words without knowing how to pronounce.
But arabic is very hard to me. I can't find learning source for beginners and I can't find how to start to learn.
And japanese and chinese are more demanded than arabic. Maybe they are spoken neighbor country.
Your video is impressive - 最高!
Al Arabiyyatu Bayna Yadayk is a very good source for beginners. but the books is fully in Arabic so you should find someone to teach you in real lfe or from youtube videos. İf you cant find someone that does korean to arabic may be you can find english to arabic. or you may simply use a dictionary to go through the book
The difficulty of a new language depends on what language you know before. Korean and Japanese have a lot of Chinese loanwords, so you'll know familiar ones from that. Being fluent in Korean grammar also spares you from the mindfuck of trying to learn Japanese or Korean word order, which is difficult for a Westerner. To most of us, there are very few shared words, the sentence structure is really strange, and then there are characters as an additional headache unless you choose to study Korean.
特に韓国語と日本語は順番同じだから分かりやすいよね きっと
As an English speaker Arabic is the hardest for me out of the 3. The language itself is very different and they have about a million dialects that change in every other city. At least with Mandarin and Japanese, the dialects are usually not quite as extremely different. Plus I've actually studied Japanese for a while so I know it's not too bad.

All the Love keep the good work❤
Your Mandarin has a VERY STRONG Bejing accent! That's genuinely fun to hear a foreigner to talk like that. Btw, have you ever lived there
Awesome explanation, as an English/French/Arabic speaker trying to learn Mandarin this definitely gives context and insight! I also tried Pimsleur in the past to try out Turkish and the fact that it's conversational focus I did notice significant leap in short amount of time. I might look into it again.
I did notice how much easier it is to memorize Chinese characters once you break down the characters a little. For example the word Good has 2 characters (mother and child) in it. Which kind of suggests a mother with her children is a good thing. I also really appreciate that there is no headache whatsoever when it comes to grammar.
Your Arabic pronunciation is pretty spot on considering you're able to speak other very different languages. Quiet the tongue twisting adventure!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! And great insights about breaking down Chinese characters 👍
As an Arabic guy i learnt Chinese and i think Arabic is the hardest language ever!
Many dialects and fusha
To be professional you have to study all of them not only fusha or one dialect.
It's really a big challenge to be like a native man !
It’s definitely a challenge!
There are over 6000 languages on the planet earth. Arabic the hardest language in the world? Is that even something that you can measure? Try Georgian , euskera , Navajo … and so many other languages
@@marieljackman1850 Arabic is the hardest according to so many studies and many linguistics, it contains more than 12 millions word
Most of languages that you mentioned don't have more than 500,000 words
Even we native speakers struggle with the standard Arabic and all it's grammar rules.
ان شاء الله
We can speak all the languages of the world, so Arabic is difficult because it enables you to use all the letter sounds
A masterpiece video! Btw, I think Mandarin would be very easy to learn if the aim is only the basic communications (around B1 level).
Thank you very much!
(Im not English native speaker) I do study only Japanese out of the languages you mentioned, but i think Japanese has a huge gap between beeing understandable and sounding like native. The pronaunciation is really hard to get natural, and the honorific system is pure horror. Although, being Japanese begginer is quite easy
That's true. I'm japanese and i talked a lot of people who wanna speak japanese. They speak pretty good but it's not like a native pronunciation. It's a japanese spoken by foreigners.

Sounding like native is pretty rare and difficult for any non native speakers, not unique to Japanese (not really the reason to claim its pronaunciation more difficult than it is). But I agree that picking up basic Japanese is not too difficult, and Grammar is indeed complicated.

Something crucial is ignored in this video; in Japanese, every kanji has different pronunciations and meanings, at least two and up to over 100 for each, which I believe makes reading Japanese 50 out of 10.
eg. a kanji “生” has 158 ways to read and you have to figure out based on context.
日本人だけど生って漢字に158通りの読み方があるの初めて知ったわw
「生」の読み方は、基本的には12通りほどです

As a native English speaker (who also speaks Urdu and Hindu fluently), I have been a student of Arabic for 20 years. I am now an Arabic teacher at high school.
Arabic is difficult because the level of difficulty keeps increasing if you want to get into the incredibly rich cultural and religious Arabic literature.
I think it will take my entire lifetime to reach a good level.
I have met many students who have learned much faster than me, they seem to have be especially gifted.

I have studied Japanese and I'm currently learning Mandarin. I personally love learning new writing systems. I also studied Hebrew. I think, while Japanese does use a lot of particles, there's only a handful you need to start engaging in the language. I also wonder how you'd rate these languages if the student is a native Spanish speaker. I've always thought Japanese would be easier to learn if you know Spanish, because the vowels are similar and Spanish also implies the subject sometimes.
For what it's worth, I can't seem to speak any foreign languages, but I can pick up grammar and reading pretty easily. I don't think those should have been doubled in your score.
I still remember that one sentence you said when you were selling the (fresh) tomatoes in Egypt 😂 it's always fun and entertaining to watch you much love from Egypt

Something that needs to be factored in is that Japanese kanji have at least two or more pronunciations depending on the context and the kanji, whether it acts as a prefix or a suffix, etc. This makes Japanese kanji much harder to pronounce, and every Japanese word has a pitch accent to memorize too.
Many kanji only have one 音読み and no 訓読み. Granted many have multiple 音読み and 訓読み, so it probably evens out. Just saying.
@@elezraita it's not that they only have one reading, it's that it's more common for them to be read in only one way, and it does not even out because at least 1243 kanji or more have multiple readings in the 常用漢字. Even then there are still probably even more kanji that are used in Japanese, a lot of Japanese people can't even spell out some Japanese words because of kanji that they never learned.

well, as Japanese I would like to give an objection to Alphabet part being 9.5 cuz he did not mention the fact that Japanese kanji often has two to several ways of reading same kanji depending on letters, represented as 音読み（On yomi) and 訓読み（kun yomi), these are Japanese way to read and chinese way to read Kanji and it has different meanings depending on contexts.
These On yomi and Kun yomi does not have to be one each but some Kanji do not have one of which, or some have hundreds ways of reading like 生, this letter can be read as sei, nama, fu, syou, i, nari, mu(su), sa, sou, ino(chi), and many many more.
this is an extreme example though there are lots of Kanji with such things.
I always see maaaaany Japamese learner making mistakes on how to read this
How did you go from speaking mandarin with a strong accent in the first few examples to speaking mandarin with a good accent in that pimsleur example?
