The hardest language

People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.

A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.

Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.

Apparently, British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian, which has 35 cases (forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject, object, genitive, etc). This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel, who are generally used to learning languages, the most difficulty. However, Tabassaran, a Caucasian language has 48 cases, so it might cause more difficulty if British diplomats had to learn it.

Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.

No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.

 

a.     The question of how hard a language is to learn is relevant to both first and second language acquisition. ____________________

b.     Portuguese is definitely easier than Chinese____________________

c.     A Japanese speaker may well find the Chinese writing system easier than a speaker of a European language.____________________

d.     The Hungarian alphabet causes problems for British speakers.____________________

e.     Hungarian is the hardest language in the world.____________________

f.        Hungarian has as many cases as Tabassaran.____________________

g.     Many British diplomats learn Tabassaran.____________________

h.      The writer thinks that learning new writing systems is easy.____________________

11.  “The Cat and the Mouse”

Complete the conditional sentences (type I or II)

 

Once upon a time the cat bit the mouse's tail off. “Give me back my tail,” said the mouse. And the cat said, “Well, I (give) 01_______________________ you back your tail if you fetched me some milk. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the cow. “The cat (give/only) 02 _______________________ me back my tail if I fetch her some milk.”

And the cow said, “Well, I would give you milk if you (get) 03 _______________________ me some hay. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the farmer. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow (give) 04 _______________________me some milk. And the cow (only/give) 05 _______________________me milk if I get her some hay.”

And the farmer said, “Well, I would give you hay if you (bring) 06 _______________________me some meat. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the butcher. “The cat will only give me back my tail if the cow (give) 07 _______________________me milk. And the cow will only give me milk if she (get) 08 _______________________some hay. And the farmer (only/give) 09  _______________________me hay if I get him some meat.”

And the butcher said, “Well, I would give you meat if you (make) 10 _______________________ the baker bake me a bread. But that's impossible to do for a little mouse like you.”

The mouse, however, went to the baker.. "The cat (give/only) 11_______________________ me back my tail if I fetch her some milk. And the cow (give/not) 12 _______________________ me milk if I don't bring her hay. And the farmer will only give me hay if butcher (have) 13 _______________________ some meat for him. And the butcher will not give me meat if you (bake/not) 14 _______________________ him a bread."

And the baker said, "Well, I (give) 15 _______________________ you some bread if you promise never to steal my corn or meal."

The mouse promised not to steal, and so the baker gave the mouse bread, the mouse gave the butcher bread. The butcher gave the mouse meat, the mouse gave the farmer meat. The farmer gave the mouse hay, the mouse gave the cow hay. The cow gave the mouse milk, the mouse gave the cat milk. And the cat gave the mouse her tail back.
