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

1.14K 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 more you know the easier it gets. I speak polish and english, my fiance speaks english. We went to denmark recently and although I think danish seems like a very hard language to learn there have been a few words which were similar to polish words so I was able to understand them.

I was had a few lessons of welsh (long story short needed it for a job I wanted to do as I live in wales), I have never had any welsh lessons prior to this and every time I heard people speak welsh I thought it was a very difficult language to understand and learn but somehow when I was learning it for those few days it appeared a lot easier. It was only the basics of welsh but it did seem a lot easier than it did at first.
