❓What is the most difficult language to learn?
The short answer? It depends!
The difficulty of a language depends on a number of critical factors, 6 of which I share in this video. I also explain why certain languages tend to be more difficult than others, and why ONE language has been particularly challenging for me.
Later in the video, I am joined by the Chinese polyglot Zoe from @. It turns out that she has ALSO found this same language to be the most difficult one out of the 6 she has learned, despite our different native languages...
