  • Why Some Languages are Harder to Learn (and How to Make it Easier)

    Why Some Languages are Harder to Learn (and How to Make it Easier)
    Dec 17 2025
    The US Foreign Service Institute ranks languages by difficulty for English speakers, but what really makes a language hard to learn? I’m Lindsay, a language learning expert, and in this video, I explore why some languages take longer to master. We’ll look beyond the FSI categories and break down language difficulty into three key factors: how a language looks, sounds, and feels. From opaque writing systems and tricky pronunciations to cultural nuances and resource availability, I share insights to help you understand and overcome these challenges. Remember though, no matter how difficult we may perceive a language to be to learn, no language is impossible to learn!---**GET STARTED FOR FREE**🎁 Free Video Training - How to Finally Learn That Language: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/freevideo 🎁 Free Ultimate Language Resource List: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/list---**WORK WITH LINDSAY**💛 Language Life - Speak fearlessly, trust your language gut & master your process: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ll💬 Speak 28x28 Challenge - 4 weeks to speaking confidence.

  • The Quickest and Easiest Language to Learn (for English Speakers)

    The Quickest and Easiest Language to Learn (for English Speakers)
    Dec 10 2025
    Wondering what the easiest and quickest languages for English speakers to learn are? In this video, I break down three groups: linguistically easy languages like Frisian, French, Dutch, and Scandinavian; constructed languages such as Esperanto, Toki Pona, and Interlingua; and English-influenced languages like Scots and Tok Pisin. I share why ease on paper doesn’t always mean the best choice, the importance of motivation, and practical considerations for your language journey. Plus, I offer my Ultimate Language Resource List to help you get started with any language, no matter the difficulty.---**GET STARTED FOR FREE**🎁 Free Video Training - How to Finally Learn That Language: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/freevideo 🎁 Free Ultimate Language Resource List: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/list---**WORK WITH LINDSAY**💛 Language Life - Speak fearlessly, trust your language gut & master your process: https://lindsaydoeslanguages.com/ll💬 Speak 28x28 Challenge - 4 weeks to speaking confidence.
