People often ask about the most difficult language to learn. It is not easy to answer this question because there are some things to consider.
A Spanish man, for example, will 44. Portuguese (葡萄牙语) much easier to learn than Chinese, because Portuguese is like Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so our first language can have an influence (影响) on learning a(n) 45. language. The greater the 46. between the second language and our first are, the harder it will be for most people to learn.
Many people's answer is that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, 47. because learning the Chinese writing seems to be very difficult. However, for Japanese, who have already used Chinese words in their own language, learning writing will be less 48. .

How to be a good learner
Hello, everyone! I'm happy to share my ways of learning English. We all know that English is everywhere. If we don't know about it, it will be inconvenient for us. Besides, we can communicate with others when traveling to other counties. Watching English programs, studying grammar and asking teachers for help are all useful ways of learning English. Today I'm going to tell you how I learn English. Although I know a lot of words, I'm poor at listening and can't understand the words in the programs. Watching English programs is useful. I think studying grammar is difficult. I'm sure that I can learn it well if I work hard at it. Asking teachers for help is also a good way of learning English.
That's all. Thanks for listening!
