    Some languages are just hard, some are easier. It’s easier to learn some obscure creole than Japanese.

    What do you consider to be objectively easy or difficult, regardless of one’s own background or interests?

    Haha I hope so.

    So you’re saying you’re one who hopes, esperanto?

      Japanese is an example of hard. Any creole is an example of easy. Then things with big phonemic inventories are gonna pose challenges for anyone. Large numbers of irregular verbs make a language hard. There’s different ways to be hard: phonology, grammar, etc., and some have all of them.
