What's the hardest language to learn as a 2nd language?

I watched this show where people thought initially Mandarin Chinese is hard, but then they all said Polish is the hardest. Is that true?

I think each language has its difficulties, but i have had a lot of people tell me that i speak German better than most native Germans do? I personally dont think so..But I have been complimented a lot..Considering I learned 90% on my own, i dont think im that bad either though. I got a 100% on my German language tests..

As I was trying to learn Mandarin as a third language, I actually found it fun..Sadly my progress came to a halt as I have nobody to correct me if i am wrong..

English is my first language but I feel I am losing it due to speaking German all the time and have nobody to really speak with here that speaks English..Time differences between countries makes communication difficult..

The hardest thing i found about German is die, der, das the articles which are used to describe things in place of the word "The". Instead describibg an item or object as Feminine or Masculine or another word which i forgot..lol..Aside from what i think is really screwy sentence structure and weird grammer rules, i like the language kind if..

I heard from a bunch of people who learnt Mandarin by themselves is watch a lot of dramas. It's easier for people to pick up when we interpret situations and actions in everyday life.

That is how I was learning just i have no time anymore to just sit hours and try to attempt to learn it..

It depends on the person learning it. I've had the most trouble with Spanish even though it's supposed to be the one of the easiest for native English speakers to learn (I plan to try again someday, but not now). It might be due to it being the first language I attempted to learn or that years ago when I was taught it I actually wanted to learn French instead, but that wasn't offered in my High School.

Oh yeah? I took French because the Spanish classes were full. But then I figured the grammar is the same, just the spelling and pronunciation was different. I think remembering all the grammatical forms and spelling are the hardest.

I could not manage French..I actually learned Spanish as a kid, but forgot most of it.Now my Spanish only comes back if I drink too much alcohol and someone is speaking Spanish to me..I am forgetting my English as well..My German has gotten worse over the years to..It sucks..I enjoyed trying to learn Mandarine though..I need to take a refresh course on both languages and find someone to speak Mandarin with.. XD

It has to be Chinese, if you notice, all the second language learners (especially white people)for Chinese sounds the same when they speak and it doesn’t make sense when not saying the sound right. Sorry but if you have an accent you won’t make sense in this language 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶Not like English, you’ll have Indian and Chinese accent.
