I am learning German now and it seemed hard to me and French seems hard. Ironically I was bad at languages in school but I managed to learn Modern Greek fluently to a bilingual level and I don’t really consider Greek as being too difficult because it is extremely easy to read, pronounce and the grammar rules are relatively simple.
thanks I feel like language wise. We really do have an ability to excel in anything if there’s enough passion. I don’t believe anything is hard.
German is BY FAR the most overrated language in terms of difficulty for English speakers to learn. Virtually ALL languages in Asia are WAY harder ((ALL of them, no exceptions), not to mention Arabic, Persian, and even other European languages like Finnish and the Slavic ones like Russian, or Bulgarian. German being that hard is one of the many language myths.
@ We can do it, no sweats 💪
Hey Olly, Filipino here from the Philippines. I would say that Tagalog is just a little bit harder than Indonesian and Malay, but it’s still in the category of “easy languages to learn for English speakers.” I agree with everything you said about my language. Maraming salamat dahil sinama mo ang Tagalog sa video mo!
As a tagalog speaker, i am glad to see the comment. 😊
I am learning a lot of Germanic languages and I find that your readers in these languages are first-rate, not not just for reading in the language at your own pace but for comparative purposes as well.
Welsh is such a beautiful language and I started learning the basics recently. I’d like to one day be able to speak my ancestral languages, and Scottish Gaelic is the one I’ve been focusing on the most. Being able to speak both one day would be so incredible. ❤
How lovely.

sadly not many people outside India knows the language Malayalam, and how hard it is.
i hope you make a video about it
😀
A same video on Hungarian😅, please!
So, we`ll be motivated towards learning Hungarian ❤
One thing that helps with language learning is the right mindset. One of the biggest hurdles is the intimidation.
Bad: Chinese has thousands of characters!
Good: In English, you have to memorize the spelling and pronunciation of pretty much every word and there are over 100 thousand. In Chinese, you just memorize the pronunciation and meaning of a few thousand characters and then the big words are free
Bad: Turkish has vowel harmony. It’ll be hard to get used to changing the vowel every time.
Good: In most languages, you have to memorize which of the vowels are in each syllable, sometimes there are dozens of possibilities. With vowel harmony, you only need to remember if the entire segment is type 1 or type 2.
Wait! If you don’t get German cases, you might as well be speaking GREEK!? Surely you jest! 😂
Thanks for this video,
Off to Germany next month will have to had ‘jein’ into my limited vocabulary
Quite ite like your description of Welsh, a game of Scrabble gone wrong.
When the Ryder cup came to the Celtic Manor Newport, one of the Americans was asked for his thoughts of the Welsh language, he replied “something made up in a bar after 4 o’clock in the morning”.
The Welsh dialect of English is my favorite English dialect!
Kannada is pretty approachable for English speakers. It may be from a different language family, but the grammar is pretty regular and compact.
As a native inglish speaker, I’ve been enjoying learning german.

Welsh is actually very straight forward. The only problem I had is the sound mutations.
Still waiting for a dedicated video on Finnish… 😅
When I was young, I promised to myself that no matter what I did in life I would never go anywhere near German as a language because I thought it was literally impossible to learn as a non-native. Until one day, five years ago, when curiosity got the best of me and I decided to give it a try just to see if I was right. Now I’m way too into it and can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I studied Romanian for one year during the pandemic. It’s a beautiful language and I don’t think it’s that hard. The grammar is more difficult than Spanish because of the cases. But once you understand the cases it’s not that bad.
I’m currently fighting with French as a Polish guy, Turkish comes next.
I am trying to learn polish as a turkish. Kolay gelsin! 🙂
Romanian is considered a Romance language with its roots in Latin but it’s really out there compared to Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese. It is distinctly different.
Most Slavic borrowings in Romanian are more likely from Bulgarian and perhaps Serbian and other related languages than from Russian or just from Russian
