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

1.45K 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?

Any language where every noun has a gender (male, female, neuter, etc) and you have to have those memorized so you can use the matching article next to it. Those are tough. German is a good example.

Romance languages are a bit easier because the gender is built into the word (-o and -a in Spanish for example)
