So you think English is hard?

Arabic is so hard that native speakers can't get it right.

French ... Well, French is so hard that if you learn it and try to talk in France, they will tell you to knock it off and speak English like all the other tourists. Here is an example of French:

Attends, ta tante t'en tant tends ton temps tant, t'en a autant de taon dans la tente.

Translation: Wait, your aunt takes so much time, you have many horseflies in the tent.

If you think French is hard to learn, try Russian 馃槓
@helenS Yes, I imagine any language with a different alphabet would be a challenge.

@helenS Yes, I have studied Russian. The alphabet did not phase me at all. I was a bit mystified by pronunciation, which may or may not correspond to spelling. "Zdravzdevuitye" for example is pronounced "ztrastitche". (American attempt at phonetic spelling.)

The big problem for an American is that it is almost impossible to find someone to practice speaking.
