All languages are difficult.

Spanish and french grammars contains a lot of things and exceptions.
I think that all latin languages are rich in grammar: existence of many tenses (subjonctive, etc...), existence of gender and all the exceptions.

I've been teaching french, and I also had the opportunity to see japonese people try to speak french. And one true fact is that french pronunciation is difficult. Mainly for all the nasal sounds that it has : like UN or AN...

One other fact coming from that is that it makes it difficult to write, as same sounds can be written in different ways. An example : UN and IN or AIN are pronounced exactly the same.

Does it make it one of the most difficult languages ?
Does anyone know ? haha

I hope this post will be help
