Many people have this idea that it is difficult to learn a new language. While I agree that it will take some time to learn, I don’t think it is necessarily “difficult”.
For example, I have two foreign friends in Japan. There names are John and Stacy. John cannot speak Japanese at a high level yet, while Stacy can. Stacy goes to a language school in Tokyo, while John works as a language teacher in Ibaraki. Why is Stacy learning at a faster rate than John? It is because Stacy studies Japanese in class for 3 hours, plus, does her homework after class. John studies by himself, but because he works long hours, he may only have 1 hour to study once or twice a week. Therefore, Stacy learns the language faster.
It isn’t that the language is “hard”, but that there is not enough time being spent studying it. Give it a try. Make time each day to study whatever language you are interested in and you will see how faster it will be to understand it.
