is there something that makes a language objectively harder/easier to learn?

1.12K viewsOther

As a native English speaker, I hear things like “this” language is hard/easy to learn. Does this mean it is only hard/easy to learn coming from an English background, or would someone who speaks Spanish also find it similarly harder/easier to learn as well?

The number of grammar rules, the number of exceptions to those grammar rules, and so on.

English has a lot of exceptions to the usual rules, because English has a lot of words that it simply borrowed from a different language and kept it as it is in that language.
