11、things to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant in terms of learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will fin
12、d Portuguese much easier - 4 -to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language.

16、ugh languages which are related to our first language are easier.

In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult l

There are many languages that are the most difficult in the world.C. All the languages can be easy to learn with good teachers and circum
19、stances.D. The writing system of a language is more difficult to master than its pronunciation.BPlays are an important part of British culture.
