The easiest foreign languages ​​to learn. What are the easiest languages ​​for foreigners and Russians to learn? The fastest language in the world

The first thing you should do is learn English. The second is German. Knowing English and German, you can learn French without any problems, since the lexical base will already be laid. But they will be of practically no use to you when living, say, in the UAE. And you won't be able to use them if you go to work in China or Uganda.

In China, only a few people can communicate in English, and in Uganda, knowledge of Swahili is especially urgently needed - less than 1% of the population speaks English here. We recommend assessing not the global prospects of the language, but its prospects for you, for your future life and work. How to do this, what languages ​​you need to learn and how to compare them with your own priorities? More on this later.

Which language to learn first

English. With rare exceptions, which only confirm the rule. It is the official language in more than 60 countries around the world. English is spoken by more than 1.5 billion people worldwide globe. It is native to more than 700 million people. Look around - the best songs, scripts of TOP films, documents, instructions - all this is written in English. Knowledge of it significantly increases your chances of employment and your value as a qualified employee, no matter what industry you work in or what your responsibilities include.

5 reasons to learn English first:

• Opportunity to clarify in most countries of the world.
• Best for travel and business trips abroad.
• The opportunity to watch the best Hollywood films in the original.
• An advantage when getting an education and building a career.
• Possibility of not having to deal with language barriers at home.

It is the most popular language in the world. Moreover, it is universal and applicable in most situations.

Example: you want to go to study abroad, say, in Italy, but you don’t know Italian. Knowledge of English will allow you to choose a program in which you can use a known foreign language for learning as a base one. But if you only know German or French, then the chance of getting an education in Italy tends to zero.

But there are exceptions. They are as follows: individual characteristics each person. If English is not good for you, if you feel sincere hatred for learning it, if you don’t understand logic, there is no point in torturing yourself. Of course, if these are just your feelings, and not the mediocrity of the teacher and incorrectly structured preparation.

Example: singer Shakira knows many languages, but English was the hardest for her. Despite an IQ close to genius and phenomenal learning abilities, the Colombian native still does not speak English perfectly and prefers to sing and speak it only as a last resort.

What language should you learn as your second, third, or fourth language?

There is no need to guess here - it is important to be guided by desires, needs and the tasks facing you. Motivation is the basis for fast and successful learning. You must clearly understand why you need it and at what level you need to master it. It is recommended to formulate goals and only then begin to consider options.

Let's assume that after graduating from college you want to enroll in one of the Czech universities for a master's program. Then it’s worth learning Czech. Or in your city there is a factory owned by the Japanese - in order to make a successful career as a manager here, knowledge of Japanese is desirable. We know nothing about the tasks facing you. Therefore, we can offer only the TOP 7 languages ​​(besides English), which are most often chosen for study:

1. French.
2. Spanish.
3. Chinese.
4. Italian.
5. Arab.
6. Norwegian.

Let's make a reservation that Scandinavian languages ​​are among the most complex in the world. If you are planning to move to Norway or Sweden but are having trouble learning Norwegian and Swedish, consider your options. It's no secret that Sweden is quite loyal to emigrants, not those who know the language. Moreover, children have the right to be taught in their native language: if there is at least one Russian-speaking child in the school, then they will definitely find a Russian-speaking teacher for him. Therefore, be sure to clarify the need for training.

TOP 5 most promising languages

If you do not set yourself the goal of moving or frequently traveling to a certain country, working in multinational enterprises and being in demand as a translator, then we recommend paying attention to the most promising languages ​​in the world. They may not be the most in demand and not the most popular on this moment time. But if you don’t know which foreign language is best to learn in terms of its prospects in the future, this rating is especially for you.

Chinese

The most common in the world. No one doubts the prospects of the Celestial Empire in terms of economic and industrial development. Strong contacts with Russia, the USA and other leading economies of the world lead to the emergence of a mass of multinational enterprises, where knowledge of Chinese is highly welcome. Chinese is made up of at least 10 radically different dialects. It makes sense to learn literary (it is also called Mandarin or Northern Chinese) - you can communicate in it with a speaker of any dialect.

Spanish

It ranks third in terms of prevalence among all languages ​​of the world. It is also one of the easiest to learn. It is used not only in Spain, but also in many countries that were once colonies. Not all of them are alike - for example, in Mexico they speak a special dialect of Spanish called Español mexicano. There are significant differences, but if necessary, you can speak classic Spanish with any Mexican and they will understand you.

German

Germany is one of the strongest economies in the world, one of the most developed and comfortable countries to live in. Therefore, the language has not lost its promise for more than a century. German is spoken not only in Germany, but also in Austria, Switzerland, and a number of other European countries. It is especially promising for employment and emigration to Europe.

Arab

It ranks 4th in terms of prevalence in the world. More than 240 million people speak it in different parts of the world. The difficulty is that the language has a lot of local dialects, and studying classical Arabic does not guarantee that you will understand them. However, you will be understood - you will be able to express yourself not only as a tourist, but also as a specialist.

Japanese

Official Japanese is only in Japan, however in varying degrees it is in demand in at least 25 Asian countries. By the way, it has a minimum of similarities with Chinese; you should not combine the study of these two languages, mistakenly assuming their identity. From the point of view of prospects, it is worth noting the development of the state’s economy and the scientific industry. Japan is one of the world leaders in terms of GDP.

What foreign language should I learn to emigrate?

Naturally, this depends on the country to which you plan to emigrate. Our advice will only be relevant if you have not yet decided on your future place of residence.

We are guided by information about the most popular countries for emigration among Russians. What languages ​​should you learn according to this data:

• English – most often Russians prefer to emigrate to the USA. It is also in demand for admission to universities in the USA, Great Britain, Canada and a number of other countries under special programs and grants that cover tuition costs.
• German and French – perfect option, if you want to emigrate to these countries, staying there after completing your studies. Education in these countries is practically free (except for mandatory fees of 300-500 euros per semester).
• Italian is required for immigration to Italy. Interestingly, the level of English proficiency in this country is almost at the same level as in Russia. In general, Italians, unlike many Europeans, do not speak English well.

Also popular destinations for emigration are the Scandinavian countries - Sweden, Norway, Denmark. Russian citizens are also willing to emigrate to European countries– to Switzerland, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Serbia, and the Baltic countries. But according to surveys, less than 10% of Russians ready to emigrate plan to go to Asia.

What foreign language should a child learn?

Here again, it is important to be guided by the child’s living conditions. You shouldn’t choose the simplest language – choose the most promising one. At the same time, observe the child’s enthusiasm and desire to learn. If you see that he is absolutely indifferent to learning, change the tutor or place of study. If the result remains the same, it makes sense to choose another language to study. The most popular are English, French, German and Spanish. The native languages ​​of the parents (or one of the parents) should not be taken into account.

Which language is better to study as an additional language? It makes sense to pay attention to options with the simplest grammar - Italian, French.

Teachers disagree on whether a child should even learn two languages ​​at the same time. It is important to monitor the condition of children - they should not be overloaded. You shouldn’t take away their childhood, guided only by your own ambitions and the desire to get a well-rounded child prodigy. Observe the child’s attitude towards the educational process - his desire is extremely important.

The easiest and most difficult languages ​​to learn

The starting position is important here: for example, knowledge of English will significantly simplify the study of languages ​​of the Latin and Germanic groups. Your native language. It's no secret that the easiest languages ​​for Russians to learn are Ukrainian and Belarusian, Bulgarian and Serbian. However, they cannot yet be called promising in a global sense. Therefore, we note the easiest European ones to study:

• English.
• Italian.
• Spanish.
• French.

Spanish is considered to be the simplest language - it is characterized by simplicity of spelling, grammar and pronunciation. As it is heard, so it is written, there is no need to be afraid of making mistakes. Ideally, if you know English - Spanish has a very similar vocabulary, and learning will proceed as quickly as possible. The second and third places are Italian and French, respectively. English is more difficult, but also quite accessible.

It is from him that all dialects were formed, so even if you move to a country where pure language variations are not practiced, you can quickly adapt. In the classic version it is also easiest to trace the logic of word formation and sentence construction. It is often clearer and more pleasing to the ear. Almost always it is literary and official for the preparation of documents.

Conclusion

Learn the languages ​​that you need and are interested in. Without necessity there is no motivation, and without sincere interest there is no desire. Both of these components form the basis for successful learning. There is no point in studying when the process only causes you stress and irritation. You must genuinely enjoy learning. You must understand why you are studying this particular language, what prospects it opens up for you, and what it allows you to do in the future.

If you don’t know which languages ​​are worth learning right now, try to look into the future. Figure out where you want to live and what you want to do. Choose English as a base and master it at a decent level. If you already speak English, move on to others. But be careful - only some people are able to study French and, say, German at the same time. In other cases, separate training is required.

What is the easiest language to learn? This question is asked by many people, both those planning to study a language and professional linguists. Below we will discuss characteristics that can be used to determine how easy language for studying. It is worth noting that the most important thing when learning a language is your motivation and whether you enjoy speaking the language. It depends on which language is the easiest for you.

Spanish, Esperanto or... Chinese. If you learn a language that you are not interested in, then learning will seem difficult, even if in theory it is not. Learning a language, like everything else, should involve fun and interest, otherwise there will be no point. You can find other factors that will make learning a language easy FOR YOU. Read the article and then decide which language is easiest for you. Below we present the TOP5 " the easiest languages ​​in the world».

The World's Easiest Languages ​​to Learn

According to the US Department of Foreign Affairs, the easiest languages ​​for English-speaking citizens are those that require about 600 hours of classroom instruction - we're talking more or less proficiency in the language. That is, these are the languages ​​of Latin and Germanic language groups. However, German itself requires more time, about 750 hours: the grammar is too complex.

English is also considered simple: it has no genders, cases, word agreement, its grammar is quite simple. The language is widespread and spoken everywhere. The words in it are short, the verbs change only for the third person. Native speakers are calm about the mistakes of foreigners, because many people learn English as a second language. Thus, English is one of the most simple languages for studying.

Italian it is also simple, it has no cases, it has a simple pronunciation, the vocabulary has Latin roots, that is, it will be familiar to those who speak languages ​​of the Indo-European group.

Spanish is the easiest language to learn. Its vocabulary is similar to English, its spelling is simple (it is both written and heard). It is similar to Italian, widely used, and has very simple pronunciation and grammar.

French It’s also not complicated, many of its words are similar to English. It is also widely used and it is very easy to find opportunities to learn and speak it. Thus, French is also one of those languages ​​that is easy to learn.

Esperanto very simple. In it, as in Spanish, “as it is heard, so it is written.” It's an artificial language, so it's really simple. But the bad thing about it is that relatively few people speak it, compared to languages ​​like English, French or Spanish.

But if you speak Esperanto, then other Esperantists will be very, very friendly to you.

Additional factors that can make the language easier for you:

— is the language similar to your native language? If the language is similar to you, has similar vocabulary and grammar, then it will be easier for you. For example, a person who speaks Farsi will learn Arabic more easily than Spanish, even though Arabic is considered difficult.

— do you like studying? If so, then any language may seem simple - or at least interesting. And this, in turn, will allow you to learn the language faster.

— additional resources.

TOP 5 easiest languages

There are some indicators that determine the degree of difficulty of learning a foreign language. The priority in this matter is personal motivation; it is very important to understand why you need to learn a particular language and how much you like speaking it. This determines which language is the easiest to learn for you. If you master a language that is not very interesting to you, then learning will be very difficult. Even if everyone around you says the opposite.

official rating

There is also an official list of the easiest languages ​​in the world on the Internet, published by the US Department of Foreign Affairs; it looks like this:

• English. English is probably included in the ranking because it is spoken by an extremely large number of people. One of its advantages is its brevity, the words are mostly short, the absence of cases and genders, that is, it is easy to operate with nouns, and verbs are inflected only for the third person.
• Spanish.

  There are many reviews about this language that give general idea that it is quite simple. His grammar is not too pretentious, his pronunciation is adequate to his writing, and exceptions are rare. That is, reading Spanish is quite easy.

• Italian. This language is a little more complicated than the above, but the pronunciation here is not difficult. Experts say that Italian is slightly similar to Spanish. Therefore, if your goal is to become a polyglot, it makes sense to start by studying “relative” languages.
• French. At first glance, this language seems difficult, because pronunciation is really difficult. Problem solving is a common practice.
• Esperanto. It’s no wonder that this language is one of the easiest languages ​​to learn. It is believed to be as simple as possible. The only disadvantage of Esperanto is that this language was created artificially, so there are not many experts on it.

Additional factors that can make the language easier for you

- Is the language similar to your native one? If the language is similar to yours, has similar vocabulary and grammar, then it will be easier for you. For example, a person who speaks Farsi will learn Arabic more easily than Spanish, even though Arabic is considered difficult.

- do you like studying? If so, then any language may seem simple - or at least interesting. And this, in turn, will allow you to learn the language faster.

- additional resources. With their help you can achieve quick results. Additional resources include audio, grammar and vocabulary books, opportunities to communicate with native speakers, etc.

summarize

The easiest languages ​​in the world are a subjective concept. If you follow book grammar, it is possible to learn any language, but with some effort. Those who have studied several languages ​​agree on one thing: you need to devote more time to practice and then any language, even a complex one, will succumb to your efforts!

The most interesting languages ​​of the world

While we don't all travel all the time, we all understand how amazing and diverse the world is. And the best illustration of this is the diversity of languages.

Even at the dawn of human history, different languages. We are all accustomed to languages ​​such as English, Spanish, Italian, but there are thousands of “big” and “small” languages ​​spoken in the world.

Let's see what there are in the world interesting languages and why they are interesting.

Chinese (Mandarin)

Mandarin is a group of dialects spoken in northern and southwestern China.

That is, it is not a separate language, but rather many dialects that form a language group. The most interesting thing about Mandarin is not how many people speak it, but rather how it is written. Mandarin is the only language that uses only hieroglyphs.

Greenlandic

It is spoken by about 60,000 people - the population of Greenland. This amazing language, which arose from a combination of Greenlandic and Eskimo dialects. The language belongs to the Eskimo-Aleut languages, it is a close relative of the Inuit languages ​​spoken by indigenous people Canada. It is interesting in that it does not have a voiceless-voiced opposition; instead, fricative and stop sounds are contrasted.

Pirahan

The only living Murano language. It is spoken by the Pirahã tribe living in Brazil (about 300 people). The language is unique in that it has very few sounds (phonemes), there are only 13 of them. In addition, the language does not have the concept of number.

Lao language

The official language of Laos, it is also spoken in northeastern Thailand. There are several facts that make the language especially interesting. Firstly, the language does not have an officially accepted literary norm, that is, each region of the country uses its own version of the language. In addition, the language uses the Abugida script, in which words are not separated by spaces.

Indonesian

A language with the simplest grammar. Perhaps the reason for this is that it was used as a means of communication between people for whom it was not native. Famous example: "ayam makan" (chicken eats) can mean "I eat chicken", "the chicken eats", "I ate chicken", "when the chicken ate", "when the chicken was eaten", "this chicken eats", etc. And yet people speak this language and understand each other perfectly. Surely this language is easy to learn.

Tsez language

A language common in Dagestan. It is spoken by 12,467 people (according to the 2010 census).

The language has very complex grammar and unusual throat and nasal sounds. It has 64 cases!

Khoisan languages

Languages ​​of the Khoisan peoples of South Africa. These languages ​​have clicking sounds that resemble the clopping of a horse. Moreover, the language has different types clicking sounds, and the meaning depends on the correct pronunciation. Some linguists believe that the Khoisan languages ​​may be one of the very first languages ​​in the world, because the process of abandoning clicking sounds is quite simple, but the appearance of such sounds in an existing language is difficult to imagine.

Pityantyatyara

Australian language spoken by Aboriginal people in central regions Australia.

The name of the language means “having the word pityantya.”

Tok Pisin

Tok Pisin is a version of English spoken in Papua New Guinea. It retains only two prepositions: “bilong” and “long”. The first one gives us Genitive, and the second is responsible for all other prepositions.

The fastest language in the world

Pronunciation speed

How to determine and measure pronunciation speed? Which language is the fastest? You can refer to the Guinness Book of Records and see in which language the most words were read per minute. Here the record belongs to a schoolgirl from Moscow Svetlana Arkhipova and is 60,000 characters per minute. Yes, it’s hard to imagine, but at this speed, “War and Peace” can be read in about twenty-five minutes and half the time will be spent turning the pages. But reading speed depends on training, the complexity of the text, and the record belongs to just one person, and we are interested in the average value for everyone.

How to determine tongue speed? To do this, you need to know how many sounds per minute the average native speaker makes when speaking. Here we come to the conclusion that records are in no way an indicator of pronunciation speed for all representatives of a given language group, and this is precisely what interests us.

Three leaders in speed

The fastest languages ​​in the world are representatives of the Romance group of languages: French, Spanish and Italian.

At the same time, the fastest language among the three leaders should be recognized as Spanish, which, due to the large number of vowels, is a very “fast language”. The average native Spanish speaker speaks very, very quickly; all you need to do is walk along the streets of Spanish cities.

The Italian language is not too far behind the leader, the pronunciation speed of which is also very high. The speed of languages ​​is determined not only by the ease of pronunciation, but also by the emotionality of its speakers. It is known that representatives Southern Europe are very emotional people, who often tend to enter a state of heightened excitement, accompanied by rapid speech.

By the way, Finnish is considered the easiest language in the world, and the most complex language- The language of the North American Chippewa Indians.

Sooner or later, many people are faced with the need to learn a foreign language. And if at school or otherwise educational institution There is no choice, then adults can already give preference to a specific language at their own discretion.

But which one? I really wouldn’t want to be disappointed and fail my first attempt at learning a foreign language. This means you should start with the simplest. How to define it?

It should be borne in mind that there cannot be “absolutely” simple languages. Each of them is simpler in some respects, but more difficult in others. For those who already speak, at least at a minimal level, some language, it will be simpler and easier to master languages ​​similar to it.

In general, Italian is the easiest to learn, followed by (in order of difficulty) Spanish, German, French, and English, which is the most difficult.

The main difficulty in pronunciation is caused by sounds that are absent in original language. Practicing their speaking starts out quite difficult, as various facial muscles need to be developed. Without high-quality and long training, this will not be achieved.

Sounds of German and Italian languages not too complicated for Russian residents. Almost the entire difference lies in the fact that the sounds of Italian speech are pronounced more emotionally, while German ones are pronounced briefly and harshly. IN Spanish The interdental “s” can cause difficulties (but if you are sure that you are learning a language for use outside of Europe, you can not be particularly distracted by it). And also something similar at the same time to muted b and v.

The French language is distinguished by a large number of specific sounds - burr r, nasal pronunciation in many cases, and an unusual combination of vowels and consonants. But English is even cooler - the sound r is unlike anything else, there are many vowels that cannot be expressed in Cyrillic, long and short pronunciations of sounds change the meaning of many words. But don't worry: practice and diligence will successfully solve all problems.

If a language is not studied for colloquial speech(or it is not a priority), then it is best to start with German, which is very easy to read. But English for those who don’t know how to read this or that word is a real nightmare, and even the context affects the pronunciation. What can I advise here? Increase your vocabulary as much as possible, and this problem will no longer be so acute. Reading French texts is simpler, but with “peculiarities”. Some letters are not readable, others are readable in some cases, individual words are linked and read together.

Well, what about writing texts? German is also most convenient here, Italian and Spanish are a little more difficult. Difficulties will arise when mastering English and French writing. In the first case, you need to thoroughly know the correct spelling of EVERY word, and in the second, you need to master a lot of rules.

What is the easiest language to learn? This question is asked by many people, both those planning to study a language and professional linguists. Below we will discuss characteristics that can help determine how easy a language is to learn. It is worth noting that the most important thing when learning a language is your motivation and whether you enjoy speaking the language. It depends on which language is the easiest for you.

IN modern world knowledge of one foreign language is already the norm, not highest degree education. That is why people who strive for constant development often do not stop at knowing just one language, but strive to speak others. But not every polyglot will take up the study of a truly complex dialect - for example, Asian, which you can study for several decades and still not fully understand... When wondering which language is the easiest, many interested people go through various options, not knowing what to take on, what language will be easy to learn and will be useful? If you want to expand your horizons and understand more than one foreign language, then we offer you a convenient selection of the easiest languages ​​in the world.

English

In part, it can be said that English is considered one of the easiest languages ​​to learn due to its global prevalence throughout the world. In addition, there is a generally accepted stereotype that the easiest dialects in the world are all similar to English, and since most people are taught it from childhood, it should not be difficult to learn them. In fact, everything is somewhat different: if the speech of several foreigners is similar to each other, it is thanks to common roots in Latin (as they say, learn Latin and pronounce it with different accents - and that’s it, you know all European dialects and dialects), and English seems simple due to its lack of cases and word forms, and its simple grammar (tell that to a school kid who needs to cram all tenses!). Whatever it is, whether it is difficult or easy to learn English, it will definitely come in handy - after all, as many as sixty countries speak it! The most famous English-speaking countries today are Great Britain, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, India and some African countries that are former British colonies. English is considered one of the simplest only because, due to its demand, it begins to be taught as early as before school age.

Without any English language skills it is now difficult to get a job

French

Another European language that has become widespread beyond its borders, French is officially spoken by 18 countries: France itself, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, as well as many small African countries, where French is first or second official language. In fact, it is one of the easiest languages ​​to learn if a person has previously studied English - the most difficult part will be learning the grammatical features and pronunciation.

Otherwise, there shouldn’t be any difficulties: compared to Asian or Scandinavian languages, French is one of the easiest languages ​​in the world, and you can find opportunities to study it almost everywhere – there are many schools French on a par with English, and in educational institutions he now occupies far last place.

The French speak very colorfully, and achieving the appropriate accent can be difficult

Spanish

Spanish is one of the most popular languages ​​in the whole world, along with English and Chinese (the latter received this title solely due to the large number of residents in China itself).

If you speak one of the European dialects (English, French or Italian), then it will not be difficult for you to get used to Spanish: it is one of the easiest languages ​​in the world due to the lack of cases, Latin roots of the vocabulary and even fairly simple pronunciation.

Everyone speaks Spanish Latin America(except Brazil), and, what is most surprising, Spain itself cannot boast of the largest number of speakers!

Mexico boasts the largest number of Spanish-speaking residents - about one hundred and thirty million people. Due to its proximity to Mexico and the large number of immigrants in the United States, Spanish is actively studied and taught in secondary schools, and Spanish speech itself can often be found on the streets of Louisiana or California.

Unlike, for example, French, Spanish speech is easier to understand, and even a child can handle it

It is surprising that world experts, when asked which language is the easiest to learn, unanimously answer: “Esperanto,” although no one has ever seen native speakers of this language from whom one could “learn easily.” And he won’t see it, because Esperanto is a “language of the world”, artificially created on the basis of common European dialects and dialects of the Romance group. It does not have “its own” nationality, there are no countries in which it would be official, it was created as a universal means of communication to make it easier for Europeans to understand each other. And since for all the people of the world Esperanto is a foreign language, it was created as one of the simplest (or rather, the simplest), and it lacks grammar and spelling (all words are written exactly the same as they are perceived by ear), and word formation has no exceptions and is built according to a template. Linguists say that you can speak Esperanto fluently in just about four weeks, and in three to six months you can learn it perfectly.

The artificial language recently turned 130 years old, and a petition was published proposing to make it official language European Union

Considering the easiest languages ​​of the world, one cannot go unnoticed by the fact that they are all European and are of Latin origin. It is believed that the most difficult thing is to learn your first foreign language (even when taught at school age, it does not “overlay” well, especially if the teacher is not a native speaker), but subsequent European adverbs “lay on” each other, and it is easier to memorize vocabulary and pronunciation using associative language level. Esperanto is generally unsettled, while being the easiest in the world - and all because it was specially created on the basis European languages to make it easier for Europeans to understand each other.
