The hardest and easiest languages to learn for native English speakers
The Foreign Service Institute has ranked the difficulty of learning a language for English speakers.
From Blazepress:
Languages based upon Latin, such as French, Spanish and Italian are some of the easiest to pick up and are placed in Category I languages with an estimated learning time of around 6 months. Languages such as Japanese, Korean and Arabic are placed in Category V, and can take considerably longer and an estimated 2 years to master properly. Check out the rest on the map below.
