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

Question

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?

Answer 1

The three things that will determine your likelihood of success as a language learner are:

1. Access to the language

2. Confidence

3. Motivation

I guess if you don’t have access to a language or resources then it would be objectively difficult to learn regardless of how confident or motivated you are.
