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

1.13K 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?

Oh fun!

Actually, eastern languages are harder for westerners to speak.

We don’t have tone, and don’t have to learn a new alphabet.

Us westerners struggle with tone, pronunciation, grammar, etc. this language is entirely new to us. Learn, grow, it’ll be amazing
