Abla şimdi şu japonca da hiragana katakana kolay lakin şu kanjileri nasıl ogrenebiliriz Kanjilerin hepsini ezberlemek mi gerekir . Bi de bunları yazmak için eğitim gerekir mi , yoksa bakıp aynısını çizerek yapmaya çalışırsak Kanji' leri öğrenmemiz kolay olur mu? Abla biliyosan bi yardım ediver Japoncaya hakim olmak istiyorum . Bu arada Türkçem biraz zayıf 'dır. Bazan güzel ve düzgün konuşamıyorum Türkçe mi:)
I agree. Then again, I do think there are some languages which are EASIER for a certain population (: for example I struggled with English a lot, however, Italian was a breeze as a native Spanish speaker.
@@ruriohama Can't agree more. My mother tongue is English but I find learning Bisaya and Filipino hard to learn and it's just like the past 6 years for me to be comfortable with Bisaya and just past 2 years ago for my Filipino. Learning Spanish also became a bit easier when I understood Filipino and Bisaya too.
@@goshu7009 Wait what's your definition of dialect and language? Going by that logic, then is Bisaya a dialect to Filipino? Portuguese and Spanish? Irish and English?
@@ja4309 Why would you think there are ,,Germanic group of languages", Latin (Romanic) group of Languages, Slavic (Bulgarian) Group of languages? Because during the process of identify as a nation, they became languages, but they were dialects in the past. The Tree is German, the branches are English and many more. Latin - the Tree - Spanish, Portugese, Italian - branches. Bulgarian - Tree : Serbian, Croatian, Russian - branches. We just call them languages today out of respect, but in reality - its dialects.
I'm honestly so happy to be able to speak multiple languages. Due to my parents' work I've spent my entire life moving from one country to another (inside of europe) and learning a language is just amazing. My native languages are English and Turkish as I'm half Irish and Turkish, but I've also lived in Spain, Germany and Switzerland so I know German and Spanish. Also I can translate Latin texts bc it's mandatory at the schools I've so far studied at. It's amazing to be able to help others, I just love it when I'm helping a tourist or sum and just talk in their mother tongue and their entire face lights up.
@flower lady 🤍 Hey🤍Love that! English is an amazing language, I'm hoping to study it one day in university to get a degree as a professional translator, you can do it!
@flower lady 🤍 Bir şey değil, ben insanları motive etmeği çok seviyorum😂Btw, your English is pretty good already, with enough practice you'll be able to speak the language completely fluently in no time. Which level are you at the moment? (A2, B1, etc?)
@flower lady 🤍 Damn from what I've read so far, your vocabulary and grammar are perfect! Hope you can get to C1/2 level soon, even though it takes a lot of work, but you just got to work and study hard! Ben şuan Almanya'da yaşiyorum (Berlin'de) çünkü babam'ın işi burada, ama lise'den sonra yeniden İsviçre'de yada İrlanda'da okumak çok isterim. I think you thought I was living in either Ireland or Turkey because my initial comment was phrased in a way that's suggests I don't live in Germany any more😂Sorry about that!
@flower lady 🤍 Seninle arkadaş olmak benim içinde güzeldi! Sen hangi ülkelerde yaşamak istersin mesela? I'm in 10th grade rn so I think it's lise 2 in Turkey. But I'm not sure as I've only lived in Turkey for two years when I was younger.
I would say "easy" languages could be tricky. As native Russian speaker, I started to learn Czech (both are slavic, which means similarity on the level of 70-85%). That was sooooo easy to start understand and speak Czech, but when it comes to accuracy and B1+ levels. Your native language starts to interfer and that's annoying. There is a lot of stuff which is a bit different from one language to another and you need not to learn, but relearn things. Btw, the easiest language for me to learn is Japanese, I don't know why, but it was SOOOOO easy
She says: 'There are no hard languages.' I usually say: 'All languages are hard.' It's such a long proces and I really admire people taking the time to learn a 2nd or 3th
@@LazyBearTO Not really, since it is still practiced in Vatican. Also there is scientific history behind the Latin. Name of the bones are are latin just like some legal concepts are latin.
The thing with chinese, japanese is that the writing system probably takes up a lot of time to learn, and maybe getting to a good level without fully dominating writing by hand (which I think is the most difficoult), Identifying a 漢字 is not that difficoult, but knowing exactly which character to write is. Thats why I would mostly focus on reading and being able to write on a computer.
I don’t plan on writing a lot of Japanese. Tho I might have to, I want to move to Japan when I’m older and you kinda have to write in Japanese. I probably will mostly use my phone to write Japanese which is much easier to do than writing in Japanese. The thing that scares me is all the sounds 1 kanji can make. I don’t have that big of a brain to remember all those sounds 😭 I’ll figure it out.
@@Karmynnd It is very similar to memorizing the spellings of words in english, I'd recomend learning words and how to write/read them rather than memorizing all the readings a kanji can have. There are no actual rules to which exact sound to use in each case and you will end up memorizing which reading of each character is used in each word anyway. This vocabulary aproach is far more natural and easy. Japanese kids start knowing every word and then they are taught how to write them, it is not like they have to figure out how a word sounds (most of the time)
@@Karmynnd in fact even you make all the sounds wrong, it doesnt affect communication. we can understand what you say from the context , unless you only speak one word with the wrong tones.
if you want to learn Chinese perfect and speak like a native speaker, you should pay more attention to tones. speaking in wrong tones just like an accent to us. just like you can also understand Indian English although they pronounce strangely.
You don't need to learn how to write Japanese until later on once you've inputted enough Japanese into your mind through immersion. All you need to do with the alphabet in the beginning is to learn how to read, since you have to know that for the purposes of searching up and remembering vocabulary. Learning how to read is EXTREMELY easy, don't worry about speed aswell since it'll come later. Edit: This doesn't account for Kanji, learning Kanji is a different thing to learning the Kanas lol. But imo even if Kanji is more difficult to learn, it's not as hard as people say since it's basically for the most part synonymous with learning vocabulary as you immerse in native content.
As a Tunisian who speaks both Arabic and French (thanks to our educational system - All subjects are taught in french), I find it very easy for me to learn English, French, Spanish, Italian and this group of languages, right now I am living in Czech Republic, and I am finding lot of troubles to speak Czech, Slavik languages are kinda hard for arabs like me to learn maybe because my native language and Slavik languages are quite different in terms of prononciation and even from cultural side
In my opinion once you can speak, read and listen easily at B2 level, you're OK. There is no need to be god level in every language. There simply is not enough time.
agree!!! i want to be c1 or c2 in korean, i just have a strong desire to communicate deeply and learn about korean history in the language, but for spanish, b1 or b2 would be amazing. i am also interested in vietnamese, chinese, greek, and german, and would probably also be satisfied at b1 for any of those. there are some languages i would just like to be familiar with, not necessarily fluent in. it’s more to do with the culture and the fact that i feel like i’m missing out on something without knowing them.
No it depends on your goals. Some people just want a basic level in a language with a bad accent and others want to be really competent before they are satisfied.
I agree with what another commentor has said. If I take my time to learn a language, I want to commit myself to it. It's easy to think you're "good" when you are at B1-B2 level when in truth you are clearly not. Only after that point it starts to get interesting as you learn to understand all of the nuances, etc. Until that point, it's like learning maths to me. You just know words and sentence structures and how to combine them.
Norwegian is the easiest language in the world to learn. I became conversational in 1 minute! Sure, my native language is Swedish, but don't worry about that.
@@_my_insomnia_blink562 I think that's the joke😂 Swedish is nearly 100% mutually intelligable with Norwegian, so if Swedish is someone's native language and they want to formally learn Norwegian, they have a huuuge advantage.
I'd point out that difficulty in langauge learning, in my experience, is largely a product of mental flexibility and the ability to understand systems "outside of oneself." I would characterise language learning not dramatically different from philosophy. I think that's the most useful skill in learning a language, because both philosophy require a person to break down ideas and create a sort of ... flexible cognition. That ability to take something you "know" and turn it over in your mind until you can understand all of its possibilities. I speak... enough languages, and one thing I really find fulfilling is learning Germanic languages. Because it lets me see words that exist across a number of languages that have slightly different meanings and it really gives a robust understanding of the concept behind them as you trace the route it took to have a crystallised meaning. That gives language a tremendous flexibility and a mastery concepts. It's really the same breaking down into the essential components and really LISTENING to what is actually being said instead of the short-hand we give it, to increase funcationality. Too often we try to graph a priori understanding onto a language and it causes difficulty. Like when people try to understand は particle. So many people try to understand it as "is" because they are unable to unshackle their brain an perceive the possibility of non-latin grammar. They see the world so rigidly that they place themselves under rules that actually have no sway over them or what they are capable of; it's like the story of the elephant and the stake. A young elephant held in place by a wooden stake will, as an adult, never challenge the wooden stake, having learned as a child that it can't pull it out of the ground.
How? I''m learning Kurdish, and there's definitely times where I've realized a word or phrase has no translation, but I have to sort of feel the sentence or try to understand it without words, but it's so difficult and doing it for an entire language instead of a few words seems impossible for me.
When I speak German I'm also shy / inverted, but when I start speaking English my personality also changes, but that depends on the accent, for example: British is similar to German and in American I'm a bit more energetic. My other languages are more like German, but you can see the differences. (I'm german btw)
Every day I watch your RU-vid videos to improve my listening comprehension. Recently I’ve been trying to do it in x1.2 speed and I manage to understand what you say because actually your English is easier for me to listen to than native speakers😊
Learning primarily Japanese right now and also Russian, I always had a perspective that these were very hard languages. I feel that causes sort of a demotivation, you opened my eyes about "hard languages" it's completely subjective and all depends on your goal of fluency. From now on I'm going to grind both and just let it all flow smoothly without doubting myself, thank you!
It depends what language you already know. If you know English, German wouldn't be so hard. If you know Japanese, Korean wouldn't be so hard. Also, it depends on your situation. If you have the chance to live abroad and speak with the locals, you'll learn much faster and more effectively, compared to those who are self studying. And there's nothing special about polyglot who has lived in different countries. My husband speaks 4 languages, it's not uncommon in Europe.
Ruri San, Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video regarding learning languages!! I deeply thought learning other languages is esoteric, but this video blew away my anxiety. I try to learn and speak other languages enthusiastically!☺
I have not watched the video since I'm at work but the difficulty is not in the language but in oneself. It always will depend on the time you invest getting along with your target language, spending time with it, surrounding yourself in media and other resources, along with learning and relearning the basics and understanding the most advanced grammar as you go. The rest is just your brain making all the connections. Learning a new language as an adult isn't impossible, but it is challenging.The main difference between learning another language as a child/teen is the fact that at that age you don't have as many things to worry about as an adult does, and you have more free time which allows you to spend more time with the language you're learning. I began learning English since I was 11, and to this day (17 years since I began learning now!) still learning new things because of my job as an interpreter! So to you who's trying to learn a new language, don't give up, even if you only have one or two hours a day three days a week to learn something of that language, do it, commit those few hours only to that, and if you notice you forget something relearn it and keep relearning as much as you need, it'll stick soon enough. And also don't pressure/be too hard on yourself if you aren't learning at the speed you'd like to learn, everyone is different and everyone goes at their own pace with the method they choose.
How difficult a language depends on many factors (which are personal to each individual), but I can say from experience that certain languages are objectively more difficult to learn AND master than others such as Korean and Japanese due to the complexity in grammar. I am a native speaker of a Southeast Asian language so phonemes in Japanese are pretty easy to imitate, but the writing systems and grammar rules such as syntax are still super challenging. I'm more familiar with western languages since I learned and became fluent in English at a very young age; I can easily build my learning strategy from there. However, it gets confusing to learn these western languages visually -- how you pronounce the Roman alphabet (including vows) vary and mispronunciation happens.
Çok teşekkür ediyorum. İngilizce öğrenirken kendimi kaybolmuş hissediyordum şimdi önümde bir yol var gibi gözüküyor. Elimden geldiğince bu siteyi tüketmeyi düşünüyorum. :D
Interesting your observation of the character change per speaking different languages. So spot on !! I always felt i wasn't been authentic to myself (for years!) as my voice and vibe really change depending on which im speaking japanese or english. Keep producing these video, you're super talented!
Still depends on your nationality. If you are from Japan, you will find Chinese familiar with; so do this between English and French, Ukraine and Russia.
Ben de japonca öğreniyorum. Katakanayı ezberlemek üzereyim(arada bi karıştırıyorum). Hemen sonrasında kanjiye başlamak istiyorum artık. Kanji olmadan hiçbir şey okunmuyor. Kanji öğrenmek uzun sürecek 🤧
Ben de Japonca öğreniyorum. İlk 130 küsür Kanjiyi kısa süre önce öğrendim ve diyebilirim ki göründüğü kadar zor değil. Sadece bolca yazma pratiği yapmak gerekiyor. Japonca ve Çince yazmadan öğrenilemez kanımca. Düzenli olarak Japonca içerik tüketmeye de özen gösterirseniz bence üstesinden gelirsiniz.
No placement test for Japanese :'( Thanks for the resource though! I love having a study plan, an estimated "graduation date" and the ability to get certifications. It helps me to better understand my progress and how far I've come to reaching my goal. Very exciting!

I'm French, I'm 15 years old and I speak french, english and moroccan fluently, I actually improve my german and my arabic and I learn japanese. How did you do to learn japanese ? I learnt english all on my own, from RU-vid and some friends (it tooks me 3 month at all, but I was listening TedEx all time). And I use some app for japanese but these aren't complete at the whole schedule I need to achieve...I gave up for chinese it was so hard for me to memorize hanzis and their pronunciations(pinyins), and I didn't understand how a sentence is created. And then Japanese seems kinda easy to me, with katakana, hiragana and kanjis.
Years ago my literature teacher told me: "you know 3 languages already, what the hell are you waiting to become a polyglot!?" Now, after almost a decade, I'm learning japanese (sorry portuguese, but I'll be back!) and I'd like to speak german and russian as well. Your content is VERY VERY VERY interesting! specially your tips for learn japanese ✌✌
I think we're on the same page when I say that there is really no language that is difficult from the point of view of native speakers and those who have attained a certain level of fluency, or mastery, of the language. As you rightly said, even the mentally challenged speak the language of their society. English is my native language. I am fluent in French, am intermediate in Spanish and possess basic but sufficient skills in German. Looking at a language, or any field of study for that matter, from the outside, of course it can be intimidating and overwhelming. However, once you master the language, you realize that indeed everything makes sense. There is a system, an order, that you couldn't see before that made it seem confusing. The perspective changes as your knowledge and understanding of the language evolves.
Being a native speaker of English, I looked up C1/C2 papers for IELTS. Some of the readings and answers they would give made me burst out with laughter because it's all old, pretentious English that no one will ever say unless you have really old grandparents.
So interresting which these things i can relate to my self as a languages enthusiast, Obviously i didn't get any same case of polyglots in my circle, friends , colleagues or tandem, until youtube came out and it fullfill with polyglots contents, until i realized before that i have some enthusiastic and capability of languages skills while my country Indonesia has many etnics languages (about hundreds languages) and seemed not hard for me to copy and got it their languages style everytime when i traveled around, and then i tried to some international languages like arabic, french, deutsch, japan. But the problem is always when you are not in your circle with unaccompany&supporting you will judged and unmotivated you, espescially for me as a shy person. Luckily some youtube stuffs help me a lot to transfering this my kinda weird polyglots hobby.
Rury chan, i'm always waiting your new videos on your chanel, thanks because of your content i got a lot of motivation to learn english. I hope you are always happy and stay helathy hope you can make more videos. Thanks and stay helathy
There is HARD languages. Just because it is easy for you doesn't mean it is same for others. Same like super smart people at maths doesn't understand others.

I'm Thai who speak 3 languages Thai English and Russian I just notice something from you that is a feeling when you speak in different language I just relized now how is my feeling... So just wanna give some trick for some people who started to lean another language.. So you should learn traditional as well otherwise you will never have to free something in your brain
Much Indonesian native of 3 languages. Local languange (depend what ethnic you born) for me its Javanese languange, national languange bahasa Indonesia of course, and English as mandatory International languange at school, but at my high school, we can choose to learning one of 4 others foreign languanges beside the mandatory one, like Japanese languange, Mandarin, French languange or German languange.
i think that learning (for example) chinese as an english person could be harder than learning german as an english person, because you have to learn more things like how it is written or other symbols, even english and german are similar, so for an english person could be easier to learn german instead of chinese (that's an example, i even don't now either chinese or german)
I mean, I would personally say English is hard for this reason given a logical response. Many languages have a system and some languages go beyond this system which is where things become more personal experience rather than understand the system and tweaking anything after it. English is easy to learn hard to master. It terms of conjugations and inflection and all that, English is extremely cut and dry and easy. But the words of random portmanteaus and the constant ideas of phrasal verbs I think is what really makes it difficult because there is no textbook way to truly understand this and must be brute forced. This is why a lot of English speakers as a second language are made fun of. Because even though they make no mistakes, there are a thousand ways to not sound native.
I mainly speak German when I'm angry, or feeling bad, it makes me feel better, I speak English when speaking to other people, because I'm native to American, so everyone I see speak English, and I'm not good enough to speak Korean much right now
I guess that makes sense, but languages like Spanish, French, and even English have their roots in Latin, which can make it easier when learning them. However, many of the Asian languages (e.g. Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc.) (FUN FACT: I am Korean; I had to learn English; took 2y of ESL in school when I was little) do not have roots that are found in Latin. Also, in terms of reading/writing, I feel like languages like Spanish, French, etc. are easier than say the Asian languages bc at least those (Spanish, French, etc.) still use letters as we recognize them (e.g. a, e, i, o, u, ...). But the Asian languages (e.g. Korean, Japanese, Chinese) use symbols. I don't use Korean v much, even at home. And I never learned to read/write Korean (minus maybe my name, and 'LY'😂😂😂)
There's no hard language if your brain is wired for learning languages. Just like going to the Olympics or being a professional athlete is possible for anyone born with raw athleticism. Everyone is wired differently

Oh, there are definitely hard languages out there. Especially languages that are unrelated to any other language, such as Georgian for example. No matter what your mother tongue is, you are going to struggle with these languages. Hungarian or Basque are other examples. Hard languages.
Another great video, and a lot of these ideas are things that I've always thought! I speak Mandarin and always struggle to convince people that Chinese isn't as "hard" as people think. Thanks for making this.
Если вы владеете двумя языками, вас называют билингвом, более двух - полилингвом. Но если в своем арсенале вы имеете более шести языков, тогда вы полиглот
Repetition!!! When i started learning languages my mistake was always trying to consume new things all the time. Made the learning journey longer. I realized if i just read the same books/materials/movies/music albums multiple times, instead of constantly looking looking for new things, it sticks better.
@@krasty3073 I guess it depends on the person if they're able to still have fun or tolerate consuming the same thing. It all really depends if you're having fun immersing in the content, otherwise learning the language would just become a task.
@ترانسي تيوب I think that it is caused by a lot of different dialects in the Arab countries which are not mutually intelligible, for the example Moroccan Arabic vs Iraqi Arabic.
@@royyannewsted8909 You are right. Every Arab country has its own slang, but it shares the mother tongue Arabic. The difference in slang does not mean not understanding it, but rather the difficulty of speaking it a little, as we all understand each other We are all brothers ❤️
Polyglot myself. Fluency in 9 languages. But let’s be real, there are plenty of languages that are objectively hard. And there are plenty of people who find even their own languages extremely difficult. Russians struggle with their extremely complex grammar. Chinese have a miserable time writing their own characters and so on. But you do make some very good points.
That's true, but at that point, whatever level the average Russian or Chinese gets to... _is_ the standard for fluency. So it doesn't matter if every Turk only learned "half" of Turkish, that would be the real Turkish language, then. So that factor shouldn't be considered when ranking how hard a language is, since if even native speakers can't get it right, nobody will be expecting you too, either. I think what she meant was that 'hard' has more to do with your own proximity to the language. A Wenzhouneze will certainly have an easier time with Mandarin than an Australian. And a Russian will find Bulgarian easier than a Nigerian.
Chinese characters would be considered separate from the language itself. The mental/verbal language IS the language, with writing used to represent it.
@@chickenfeed6272That's not really true, written language is also part of language. It just depends on your definition but most language skill tests will rank your speaking, reading & writing and listening skills. If you claim yourself to be able to speak Chinese that does include being proficient in the writing system as well... or else you need you say I can speak it but can't read or write it well.
Writing in Chinese is a real hassle, especially when you're trying to write Traditional Chinese, they just have so much more strokes and lines in general, and sometimes a little writing mistake can change the meaning of the word entirely.
@@bodo887 The norm in human history has been language without a writing system, thus I would say that writing systems are an add-on. However, it's true that it depends on your definition and I shouldn't suggest mine is objective. I do think some writing systems, like for Mandarin, unnecessarily make learning the language more difficult.
getting many languages to B2 level is so much easier than getting 2 languages to C2 level. C2 level means that you can basically read all difficult literature at college levels.
Which let's be honest- plenty if not most native speakers can't even do that in their mother language. C2 is truly a feat and not one every language learner should necessarily strive towards.
If you're literally talking about love, then yes If you're talking about French, then maybe a bit more biased on the difficult side Either way yeah this hits the jackpot
I'm trilingual (japanese, English, and tagalog) and I totally have different personalities when I speak! My Japanese sounds shy and curious, my English sounds proud and confident, and my tagalog sounds sarcastic.
I do think English is the easiest language to learn because of how easy it is to get yourself subjected to the language through music, movies, games and other types of media. It’s hard not to get subjected to English. I turn on the radio BOOM new Beyoncé song, I turn on the tv BOOM a British antiques show, I open RU-vid BOOM English speaking channels like this one. You get what I mean. E.g. if I wanted to listen to something that is in Italian, I would have to deliberately search for it
idk, as a russian, before I started engaging in english content deliberately, I've never stumbled upon anything out of my comfortable zone, all the recommendation algorithms were shoving russian content down my throat all the time. My guess is that algorithms are based of off your geolocation and what people from your country watch. Usually russians are incredibly monolingual, I think I've only met one person my age with decent english proficiency, even though english is a very demanded language. So if you're from russia algorithms wouldn't show you much non-russian stuff; I could imagine that in some other countries like Netherlands, where almost everyone speaks english, algorithms would naturally recommend you more english content. Now, I have no desire to engage with russian content whatsoever, it is still a problem, even after creating a completely new account, setting region to the US and never watching anything russian, I still come across russian content much much more than content of any other non-english language
I would say "easy" languages could be tricky. As native Russian speaker, I started to learn Czech (both are slavic, which means similarity on the level of 70-85%). That was sooooo easy to start understand and speak Czech, but when it comes to accuracy and B1+ levels. Your native language starts to interfer and that's annoying.

japanese have similar pronunciation to russian so for russian native speakers can find it easier to understand and learn. basically hiragana and katakana sounds are pronounce almost identical to russian alphabet except for R line (that pronounce something between R and L but it may change in different situations) and last line that include わ (wa), を(wo), ん(n) since they pronounce slightly different from characters that russian alphabet has but still it's not very hard to understand how to pronounce them.
@@shi_yuki in the speaking level it is true, but I think in grammar level it is different story. Atrough Russian grammar is a huge pain in the ass even for natives, it is lend very wide spectre of possibilities to make sentence. Even if this sentence will occupy whole A4 list. And this is not joke, we like to use absurdely long sentences
@@PyromaN93 yeah, i can relate. for me russian is native language because i speak on it my whole life but sometimes grammar causes some difficulties since i never were able to learn it with all rules
I agree! There are just too many variables to count. For me, as long as the language feels FUN to learn-no matter how "hard" it supposedly is, I'd have an easier time with it anyway. At the moment I'm trying to build back the fun in German so I can speak as comfortably and fluently as you!! 😁
I hated German in HS because of my teacher's way of teaching, although I chose for it. Then I learned it again due to circumstances since many of my friends were Germans from Lower Saxony. I still can understand a bit German passively, but can't speak it well.
English is highly analytic(surprisingly much similar to Mandarin structurally) whereas Japanese and Turkish are highly infusional languages. Switching from a SVO mindset to a SOV sometimes even VVO or VOV mindset can pose some challenges. As a natively bilingual dude who's been learning Japanese for 10+ years I can relate!
@@Jibe111111111 because is not infusional? Because the English language have almost no declensions, if you said: the cat is chasing the ball you know because of the word order who is chasing what not because of the declensions, in the English language only the pronouns and the genitive case are to some degree still present, the other cases are not. In other languages the word ball could have an inflection following the accusative case considering the ball is the direct object of the phrase. Like in English, when you say mother's that "s" means that something belongs to someone, that would be an example of the genitive case, depending on the language there are many more.
1000 hours for Russian? If you wanna talk with lots of mistakes and heavy accent, then maybe it's true. Never saw a polyglot talking in good Russian and they all say they're fluent lol you're not. Russian is more complex than German.

I do not really agree with "self-learning is twice longer", because sometimes in school (in France in my case) we learn some useless vocabulary we'll never use later, even if some students don't know useful basics of english But at home if we can learn as we want it can be a lot more efficient
For the first period in Japan, as an English teacher, you're basically used as a human tape recorder - before they bring in the real tape recorder, and as a rule, you're never allowed alone with the class (juinor high school). They prefer native speakers, though. Anyways, I hated school all my life, I think, except here and there. They actually berated me as a child for reading my own books. How crazy is that? The pensum in Norway is three pages long until upper seconday school.
My friend, please look for "Не Учите Русскую Грамматику!" video. It's about 5 minutes, and i can approve that as russian. You can easily start speak with just huge vocabulare, because word order is free and every russian-speaker will understand you. And then polish rules, declension, and so on.
I disagree regarding 2200 class hours being 4400 self study hours. Classroom hours aren't very effective. I met a bunch of people who got pretty fluent in japanese after a year and a half (passing N1 ) by just immersing in comprehensive input+anki for 3~hrs a day on average
@@ishaalimtiaz6715 not sure N1 is close to fluency but it's definitely a very nice level to have, if you're very very efficient you might reach that level in 1600hrs or so (reading). As for speaking, probably not, and listening, well, depends. Listening skills take quite a long time to develop for some reason
There is a clear difference between classes (at school) and language courses with actual experts. I don't think classes contribute much to someone learning a language after they've reached like B1 level in that language. Before that, they are a good resource.
@@DoubleOpposite I heard Japanese the "fastest" spoken languages, so maybe extra hard to listen and parse everything unless someone is speaking very slowly or simply
@@mishm299 Speed comes with experience. The hardest parts are undoubtedly the very different vocab, the notorious kanji and THEIR READINGS , and grammar a bit
@@DoubleOpposite There are also some important points depending of family which target language belongs to. For example, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Finnish are from same language family "Ural-Altay". Some of european language like spanish, french, italian and portugese are also so similar in terms of grammar and cognate of their word. Difficulty issues change according to your native language and target language to learn.
5-6 dil kullanmak cok da zor degil. Sadece beynin cumle dizilimini anlamasi gerekiyor. Ve beynin dillere karsilik vermeye programlanmasi lazim . Bunu nasil mi yapabilirsiniz: Bol bol hedef dilde izleyin- dinleyin- taklit edin. Ruri nin ingilizcesi %100 sosyal taklit. Kendisini alkisliyorum 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Yabanci dili kelistirmek icin bile beyninizi iyi gelistirmeniz gerek. Muhtemelen matematik bilgisi de iyidir Ruri nin cunku birkac dil konusabilmek beynin Cok bilinmeyenli denklemleri cozmesi gibi bir durum. Cumleleri taklitle ogrendigi cok belli. Bir cumlede yaptigi vurguyu diger cumlede degistiriyor. Yani cumle cumle taklit yapiyor. Kelimelerin kullanimi da karisik bazen bir Ingiliz bazen bir Amerikali gibi kelime kullanimi yapiyor. Hatta Canada Avustralya- Yeni Zellanda aksani bile var. Bu vidyolari izliyorsaniz siz de 7-8 dil konusabilirsiniz. Ben de birkac dil konusabiliyorum. Ve yabanci dil ogrenmenin asiri kolay oldugunu soyleyebilirim. Sevgiler Ruri cok zeki birisin 💕💕💕🧿🧿🧿
i love your Turkish. If you were to write it using Arabic letters I would be saying i love your Uyghur. if you speak Turkish you can speak to Uyghurs, Tajiks, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Turkmen, and Kyrgyz because their language is similar. If you can read Arabic you can read Farsi, Urdu, Uyghur, and Mongolians. The Mongolian Script is simply Arabic written up and down instead of Right to left.
@@boyar1978 You should add Crimean Tatar and Gagauz to this list.For example I understand Azerbaijani language 95%, I understand Crimean Tatar 99%. I didn't know that Mongolian was written with Arabic letters. Thanks for the info.
*Every language is hard, in that you have to learn it to know it* *If there's any language you can know without having to learn it, then such a language is easy.* *So it's the learning that's hard, not the language*
American here. I'm currently 11 months into a major deep dive into my first foreign language.... Russian. The alphabet is super easy... Но русская грамматика очень трудно! Я рада что изучаю это. У меня болит голова. :D
As a native russian speaker I would love to hear what in particularly is hard about russian grammar. After watching several videos of foreigners trying to speak russian, I'd say the main struggle, that separates all of them from sounding nearly natural (other than the pronunciation of course), is the use of gendered words. If you could just fix that single mistake, you could be easily mistaken for a native russian speaker who just lived in another country for far too long.
@@DamnedVik The noun declensions are very difficult for me. The flexible word order is quite different too. Verb conjugations are pretty easy. I don't think it's that's hard to remember a noun's gender, but maybe that's just me.
"русская грамматика *- это* очень трудно" или "русская грамматика *трудна"* (звучит криво - скорее вызывает затруднения/трудности, или сложнА, или тяжелА, или плохо даётся). "Я рада, что изучаю *её"* - требуется противопоставление типа "Тем не менее я рада...", иначе звучит словно радость тебе доставляет именно факт трудностей. "У меня болит голова" звучит как на приёме у врача, обычно говорят проще: "голова болит" (понятно что своя, чужая болеть не может). Ну и для связи с предыдущим можно использовать частицу - *"Аж* голова болит". Всё это по сути мелочи, которые сами придут при достаточной практике. Не знаю какой смысл в изучении языка, если ты не используешь его на работе или в повседневной жизни. Разве что художественную литературу читать приятней на русском (субъективно), чем на английском
Yo hablo Español como lengua materna y estoy aprendiendo a hablar Ingles, se me hizo un poco difícil pero creo que ya lo empiezo a entender cuando lo escucho. Cuando veo tus videos hablando ingles puedo entenderte mejor que cuando escucho a un nativo ingles. (Primer comentario en Español jejeje...) Saludos!!!
Hola estoy aprendiendo espanol con Ingles como mi lengua materna! Puedo entender todo lo que escribiste pero me cuesta esuchar a otras personas hablando en espanol, particularmente las personas con acentos. Quiero mejorar mi hablar e escuchar y por eso trato de ver pelis en espanol. Gracias por leer todo esto
I'm learning Japanese by myself and isn't difficult, the English is my second language that I'm still learning so... for me learn these language is a hobby! :)
I think the same! I’m a Portuguese native speaker and the sound in Portugueses and Japanese are pretty much the same like 97% of the time. People got scared about Japanese due the written system they have. But I learned hiragana and katakana in 1 week LOL . Things start to get harder when it comes to kanjis and phrase structure, maybe particles too
The reason, I think, why western people think eastern languages are difficult is because most of the western languages are related to one another from a common language/languages spoken long ago but eastern languages evolved in a completely different kind of culture with completely different geography making the words sound much more foreign.
I think the reason why western people think asian languages are so difficult (ex. Chinese, japanese) is because those languages don't use the alphabet. And actually some of Asia countries share the words. Of course they have different character. But in terms of pronunciation. Teacher is [sensei] in japanese, and [sunsang] in korean. Idk if the people will consider those are similar, but in asian perspective, there's a lots of similar point. Also the amount of time that you have to spend when you learn the foreign language, which is easily founded in the Internet, is researched by someone who speaks English as a first language. So what I wanted to say is that I think the difficulty really depends on their own first language Lol I don't even know why I'm writing this
I'm sure when your personality changes with the change of the language you are speaking it means you are not proficient enough with the language. It isn't a healthy sign. You don't speak the language you just imitate those who speak it. You imitate them even in the way you shouldn't. You must be yourself, not an imitation.
Speaking Japanese is really easy for me even as a native English speaker, but reading and writing it is what take so so long to study. I know how to say way more things than I can read, and can write even less. Typing makes things a little easier since I don't have to know every stroke order of every kanji.
