要判断哪一种语言最难学习是不容易的,因为有太多的因素需要考虑。
主题语境:人与社会 篇幅:364词 建议用时:7分钟
1It is not easy to tell which is the most difficult language to learn because there are too many factors to take into consideration.In a first language,the difficulties are unimport⁃ant as people learn their mother tongue naturally,so the question of how hard a language is to learn only makes more sense when learning a second language.
2A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chi⁃nese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language.The greater the differences between the second language and our first language, the harder it will be for us to learn.Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn,possi⁃bly 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 Japa⁃nese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet(字母表).
3Some people seem to learn languages easily,while others find it very difficult.Teach⁃ers 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.
4Obviously (明显地), British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the most problematic language is Hungarian(匈牙利语),which uses a similar alphabet to Eng⁃lish but has 35 cases. This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel the most difficulty. However,Tabassaran(塔巴萨兰语),a Caucasian language,has 48 cases,so it might cause more dif⁃ficulty if British diplomats had to learn it.
5Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. Therefore, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.
