[quote=SPIKYFRUIT,239745]related languages, of course, are always easier. my functional (not fluent) spanish gets me by reading italian and even a little french. the foreign service institue has categorized language according to difficulty for adult english speakers to learn. category one languages are most similar to english, and therefore easier to learn (romance and germanic languages). category two languages are more difficult, and have different alphabets and linguistic roots (slavic, semetic, and hindi). category three is most difficult, for reasons of linguistic and cultural difference and are arabic, chinese (cantonese and mandarin), korean, and japanese. http://www.nvtc.gov/lotw/months/november/learningExpectations.html[/quote]
