    Which language is hardest to learn French, Spanish, or German?

    Question #63917. Asked by Vance9991. (Mar 25 06 10:25 AM)

    The Royal Tongue. English. It follows changing rules.

    Besides that, probably German.

    Spanish hs so many dialects that it could be "hard to learn."

    German is hard to learn. Spanish is easy as it has some words from french and english.

    We've had this before. German is NOT hard! As long as you know all the rules, you can say anything you like, as it is very well structured. It also avoids that horrible triple verb ending thing that French and Spanish have, as all German verbs end in -en.

    If a gimmer like me can be at A-level standard German, that has to say something. I could never do French or Spanish at all. And German has so many words that they just lift from English, it's almost laughable.

    I've been able to pick up a bit of German and fake my way through conversations in Spanish. However, my French is appalling, bloody awful as the English say.

    I learned French for 5 years at high school (really wish i had continued it to a-level) and at my school people did either French OR German and those who started high school a couple of years after me also had the option of Spanish, however both my uncle and cousin are fluent in both French and German (and in the case of my Uncle Italian as well) and they both agree that German is much easier than French.

    Having learned them all, German is the hardest - the other two are "romance" languages, and therefore based on Latin. Much easier

    German has 3 "sexes" which doesn't help! (male, female, neuter)

    Yeah, but equally, French and Spanish have that weird thing where there are three verb endings. At least in German you can blag your way through when you're speaking by just saying "d' Tisch" and "d' Fentser"!

    The phonetic alphabetic equivalent of the French “Marcel” is “Madrid” in Spanish. The equivalent of the German “Quelle” is the Italian “Quarto”. How is the German equivalent of the Spanish “Zaragoza” related to an all-purpose bend knot?

    In books that rely heavily on language-specific wordplay such as 'The Da Vinci Code' I can kind of see how it could be translated into French, German, or Spanish, but how do they even begin to try to translate it into Chinese, Korean, or Japanese with a totally different writing system?
