The Easiest Languages for Native English Speakers to Learn

 lynks     04:22     No comments   




Depending on your circumstances, some languages can be harder to grasp than others. If English is your first language, these languages are widely considered to be the easiest to learn how to speak, read, and write.

For many years the Defense Language Institute (DLI) has worked with the Department of Defense to teach foreign language to the U.S. military and Federal Agencies. Because they’ve been doing it for so long, they’ve managed to learn a thing or two about which languages are more difficult for native English speakers to learn. According to the DLI, these are the easiest languages in terms of how long it takes to become moderately proficient:

Spanish
French
Italian
Portuguese

These four languages are considered Category I languages, and only take 26 weeks to learn enough to speak, read, and write in the given language. Keep in mind, however, that those 26 weeks are intensive, so learning on your own could still take much longer. On the other hand, the difficulty goes all the way up to Category IV, with languages like Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese taking at least 64 weeks of intensive training to reach the same level of proficiency.
