The Most Difficult Languages
One of the traits of human beings and one of the differences between humans and animals is the possibility of using a language and communicate with each other with the use of words. But what are the most difficult languages in the world to learn?

I believe that most people could agree that the most difficult languages in the world are the Asian ones. One of the aspects of Asian languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, or Mandarin what makes them so difficult for European people to learn it, is a totally different system of writing - for example in Japanese there are even three independent systems of writing - Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Each of them is used to express different words, Hiragana and Katakana is basically a "type of alphabets" where Hiragana is used to express some original Japanese words and terminals, Katakana is used to express and write words and names taken from foreign languages, and Kanji, the most difficult out of them, is used to express nouns, verbs, and Japanese names. Another Difficult aspect of Asian languages (this applies mostly to Chinese) is speaking, where for example in Chinese you use three various tones of voice - high, normal and low. In case you use a different tone of voice the meaning of a word or a sentence is suddenly different.

Another highly difficult thus very favorite mostly in these days is Arabic. For European people favorite probably because of the fascinating and different culture of Arabic countries.
In learning Arabic the biggest betrayal comes with writing, where Arabic learners have to use four different forms of Arabic writings, which of them you use depends on where the actual word stands in the sentence. Also, vowels are not included in written Arabic. And IF you would like to speak in Arabic, you have to know which dialect you want to speak with, because thanks to the variety of culture and rich history of Arabic countries, the language itself is very coloured, too.
