  1. LEARNING LANGUAGE

    Learning language is generally enjoyable, but at the same time it requires a lot of effort and studying hard. There are several difficult aspects of learning language. The most difficult aspects are living in a country where you are not able to use this language and to be unfamiliar with the grammar structure of this language.

    If a foreign language has different grammar rules from the mother tongue, it is getting harder and harder. For instance, a person who is German can learn English easily because this two language class is in the same family. However a person who is Japan has more difficulties with learning English because this two language have different vocabulary and grammar rules.

    If people who acquire to learn a foreign language, they should practice. They ought to live in the country for a while where this language is spoken. For example, if a British wants to learn Germany he or she ought to go to Germany and try to speak there with German. Thus, learning language will be get easy.

    Learning a new language is difficult in terms of not able to use the language where people live, and to be unfamiliar with the grammar structure and vocabulary. Although it is difficult to learn, we have no choice than to learn if we want to get successful and to be different.

  2.      Learning a language , without doubt , is the key to everythink that people want to improve.Being so , hundreds of millions of people learn foreign languages for getting varied aspect . Even though  learning a language seem to be more and more popular every passing year , most of people find out language difficultly.There are two main reasons why it is difficult to learn a language : their talents and education system.
         One important factor is many people who want to learn a language have varied abilities for speaking themselves language.Due to the fact that these people always speak themselves language and same accent , they use same part of their brains.Therefore , their brains have difficulty in understand otherlanguages.To give on example , many French people cannot learn in German quickly because French people have many rules for speaking in French and their brain do these rules . Thus , disorders will increase in learning German.In short, people have many abilities influence learning a language.
         The second important reason why it is difficult to learn a language is education system.People have found out a foreign language since they was child.However, many of people study a language for passing the exam.Because of this approach , many informations about a language do not remember and people who study a language usually bored. According to linguistic scientist, students should go abroad in order to learn a new language and students should know its culture , history so that students learn a new language easily.
         To sum up, people have abilities and education system influence learning a language difficultly in many aspects.Hopefully,people will able to learn a new language amorously and easily in the future .

  3. Throughout history,people have wanted to build communication with each other.The language which is the best contact way was occured by nature of humanity.In this way,language has a crucial point for societies.However,when these began to differentiate language become to be hard situation for learn it.They can cause some problems which is accent,education and intelligence.Those are the most common complications.
    One of the most common difficulty is accent.Proffessor Jason Hook who is the antropologist in Harvard University says that the world has more than ten thousand accent today.For that reason many countries have a different culture and it is hard to understand their alfhabets,spellings and meanings for us.At the sam time,it depends on a person.Such as Spanish is better than French because Spanish accent is much fluence than other.
    The other common difficulty is education.Everyone desire to learn a language quickly.However,after a while education is not given enough for being a good level in have selected the language.It based on some countries ignores value of foreign languages in teaching.Therefore,situation becomes more complex and still thousands people have suffered for learn.
    The final common difficulty is intelligence.As we know everybody has a different intelligence when they learning something.Such as kinesthetic,musical,verbal.However,in the education system people who wants to learn foreign language was pussing the single method for learn.Here is where the problem stems.Thus language learning is no longer possible.
    To sum up,there are many reasons why language is difficult to learn but I think it is totaly depends on our understanding format.İf we could the nice comments for it,we can overcome this language problems.

  4. Some people think that it is easy to learn a language.They learn a new word easily and memorize it for a long time .Besides,these people do not have difficulty pronouncing to words.However,learning a language is not easy aas it is known.This opinion is based on some notions such as having focused exam of language education and being different grammer from native language.

    One important factor is that having focused exam of language education.For instance, a lot of students have a foreign language exm during their university traning in many countries.Moreover,if they do not pass the exam,they can not start their department . Therefore,they study to get a high mark ,although the main aim should be to learn language . On the other hand,there are not speaking part in many exams at the present days.Thus,people do not care about speaking each other and their language do not improve .All in all, the language is learn to be succeed in the exam.

    The second important reason is that foreign language and native language differ from each other in terms of grammer.To illustrate,Turkish and English have different sentence structure from each other .Therefore,we are hard-pressed to understand mean of sentence .Besides,the words are not read as written in English unlike Turkish.Thus,we make a numerous mistake to pronounce the words even we can write words correctly.To sum up,the languages have different grammer from each other.

    In a nutshell,there are several reasons why language is difficult to learn .Even though learning a language is difficult ,we have to learn it if we want to be more than we are.

    In the globalizing world we must know foreign languages.İnternational comminication is the most powerful gun.Everyone should overcome difficulties and learn a few foreign language.

  6. -why it is difficult to learn a language....
    İn the past, there were a lot of languages,and people didnot have to learn any other language because interaction wasnot common as much as now. People who did trade in the past knew some other languages, but people could unterstand eachother without language. However,now, people must work together to succeed something. Therefore, they have to learn a common language. But learning a language has 2 main difficulties: unqualified teachers,and using it in daily life.
    One important factor in challenges of language learning is unqualified teachers. One effective way to teach a language is going to school. People can learn a language by going to school if they are educated well. However, many teachers are not ready to teach something. They graduate from university before they learn exactly how they can teach. They don't improve some methods to teach. İf they get high marks from university, they are graduate. Teachers of them do not measure their ability of teaching. Teacher of them just measure their ability of doing tests. Consequently, unqualified teachers graduate from university, and they cannot give education smoothly, they donot improve some methods to teach easily. In short, teachers educate from university before they are exactly ready to teach something,which leads to learn a language difficultly.
    The second important reason why it is difficult to learn a language is using it in our daily lives. İn this situation, some cities are lucky,but som of them are not. People learn a language more or less,but they can forget it easily because if people learn it, they have to use it their daily lives. Language is learnt on this way, which is proved by scientists. İf we don't want to forget it, we must use it because our brains are working that way. For example, when you learn some physic formuls on paper, you can not understand it.However,if you use it your daily life,you don't forget it because it becomes your memory,and you remember it easily and you can use that information another time. Although people want to use it their daily lives, in some cities, they cannot do that because there are not any foreign people who speak in that language. İn big cities, people can use it,but sometimes opposite side doesn't want to speak because he has some business. In brief, because of less using a language which we want to learn in our daily lives, we get hard to learn it.
    To sum up, unqualified teachers and using a language in our daily lives have made learning a language difficult. Hopefully, both of these reasons will be fixed,and people can learn a language easily.

  7. Communication is necessity in today’s improved business life and cultural system. As a result of progressing technology, making a friend from the other side of the world is not rerely seen situation today. Despite all of them, people who try to learn a language frequently have difficulty in finding out. It is divided into two reason: Education and the differences between native and foreign language’s origins.
    Unless people who want to learn a language have education about it, they definitely should make an effort. For instance, a person who lives in a country in Africa goes to school which has shoes-string budget. The person also wants to learn Italian. Nevertheless there is no educator that knows Italian in the school. Briefly, the student has to try to learn the language in he’s own right.
    There are numerous language families in the world and they are classified in difference ways. If a British person wants to find out Russian, the person ought to study cyrillic alphabet and grammar rules of Russian. To sum up, learning language from difference family harder than the same family.
    To summarize, learning foreign laguages have huge importance for human life. Advancing technology and waning earth are became e requirement to language learning. In spite of the challenges, everyone should learn foreign tongue in today’s world.

  8. From past to present, the fact that learning a language is a must for individuals to work out their professions. It is known that lots of people who work in an international company have to have comprehensive knowledge of the other languages for international businesses. However, it is not easier than people's knowledges. There are two main reasons why it is difficult to learn a language; one is pronunciation and other is grammar structure.
    The first significant reason why it is difficult to learn a language is pronunciation. For instance, even though both English and German come from same origin, words in German are written as their spelling without exception, but generally words in English are not written as their spelling. Especially exceptional cases are very troublesome for people to learn a language. Morever, some words in some languages have the same pronuncations such as "three and tree" although they are not the same meaning. Therefore, people who want to learn that language may have a difficulty.
    The second substantial reason why it is difficult to learn a language is grammar structure. Thousands of students complain that all of languages have some complicated grammar structures. For example, if a person who comes from England want to learn French, he or she might have hassle due to French's complicated grammar structure. Furthermore, agglutinative languages have several difficulties for people to learn another language. Therefore, grammar structure is one of the most important reason why is is difficult to learn a language.
    To sum up, pronunciation and grammar structure are main reasons which make learning other language hard. However, it is in our hands to deal with these difficulties.

  10. In today conditions, learning one or more foreign languages is necessary for business. Therefore anyone who wants to find a respectable job must learn foreign language or languages. People think that learning a foreign language is easy but they are wrong. This is a complicated process. Two difficult situations are thinking in mother language and using wrong learning methods.

    If you learn a foreign language you should not think in your mother language. Your own cultures are different from other cultures which you want to learn. You cannot express yourself in foreign language as in your language. Firstly, you should not use own language grammar rules. For instance, “I love Turkey” is a correct English sentence but if you think same sentence in Turkish verb and object change sides, and you have to say that “I Turkey love.” which is not correct. Moreover, you should not direct translate your own language word phrase because it is not provide mean what you want to say. For example, you cannot say “Meat does not leave nail.” It does not provide mean. Instead of that you can say “Blood is thicker than water.” To sum up, you should think as a foreign person which nation language you learn.

    Generally, when people teaching or learning English are using wrong methods. Especially in schools wrong methods are used by both teachers and students. First of all, teachers do not give word meanings their students. They must provide that the words meaning are founded by students. For example, according to the research students who found meanings yourselves learn %250 fast. Besides, people learn not only language but also a cultures. For example, according to research people who learn both language and cultures together can speak perfectly but the others cannot speak. In short, if you use correct methods you can learn a foreign language easily.

    In conclusion, learning foreign language is a benefit for business. It is useful not only business but also daily life. We should be aware, when we are learning a foreign language, we are leaning a culture.

  11. LANGUAGE
    The language is a tool which is used by people for communication. Every country has specific languages,and there are a lot of different languages as much as countries. So learning language is too difficult for people.Although, there are several reasons why learning language is so hard, pronunciation and signary are the most common two.
    One important factor that leads to change one’s mind for learning leanguage is pronunciation.when you notice to not pronunciate, you can lose one’s self confidence.Moreover, Jawbreakers cause what you pronunciate difficulty.For example, Turks should say “hos-pi-ta-li-ti” for hospitality, but they say ”hos-pi-tay-pay-lay-tay”.
    Second reason why learning language is so hard creates a difficulty. Signary complicate what you understand a lot words of foreign languages. While you look at a text which is written with a foreign languages, you can have no idea about its reading. Especially,some foreign languages cofuse your mind. For instance, if you are from Turkey, you dont understand easily russian alphabet.
    Taking everything into consideration, as you learn a language, you encounter many difficulty of learning language.In my opinion, You dont never give up when you have some difficulty because of learning language.

  13. Difficulties of Learning a Foreign Language
    Learning a foreign language is difficult thing for people since beginning of humanity. On the other hand it is necessary for people in their life such as education and job, so people trying to learn a foreign language. Some people say there must be a lingua franca. Therefore, almost all people who live in developed country know a foreign language. Learning a foreign language has two difficulties which are most common: time of using and differences.
    One important factor is time of using. People speak foreign language just when they need for example when a foreign customer enter the taxi, taxi drivers have to speak foreign language. Moreover, taxi drivers know foreign language enough to their work and he does not speak anywhere else. They just speak in cab. When they go home they speak native language and forget the foreign language. For this reason they cannot learn a foreign language entirely. Shortly, because of lack of time allocation learning a foreign language is hard thing.
    The second important reason is differences. There are several language and alphabet in world. If you want learn a language firstly you must learn its alphabet. For instance, if you want learn Russian, firstly you must learn Cyrillic then you can start learn Russian. If you want learn a language whose same alphabet with your native language in this time there is another problem like pronunciation. For example, in English cannot be read as it is written. Also, you must learn pronunciation of words. In brief, learn a foreign language is difficult for people because their native language and foreign language are different in various way.
    To sum up, there are a lot of reasons why language is difficult to learn but I think if people pay more attention, they can handle it.

    Lack of the curiosity is one of the significant reasons why is difficult to learn foreign language.According to the theachers,students often can not understand the importance of language learning ,and they lack of the curiosity about learning.Therefore , they do not do research ,or participate in activity .Moreover , they say that student having the curiosity about learning foreign language are progressing more rapid than others.To sum up, lack of the curiosity affect students negatively.

    or pronouncing mitakes.Thus,fear is one of the important problem in language learning.

  16. Almost all people are want to learn a language. Is it easy to learn a foreign language? It is difficult for many people to learn languages.
    The main reason is focus problems and lack of time.
    One important factor in challenges of language learning is focus problems. If you do not show enough interest in learning a foreign language you can not understand that language exactly.You cannot build correct sentence.

  17. People have several reasons such as finding a new job and talking fluently with a tourist to learn a foreign language. However, many people live problems abaout learning a new language. There are many reasons why it is obligation to learn a foreign languages. Due to living with people who speak in the same language and requiring to study hard,people live problems when they learn a new language.

    Living with people who speak in the same language is one of the reason. We,human being, have been hearing the same language since we were born. Thanks to it , we are able to learn a foreign language easily. However, we had better learn other languages;moreover, maybe we do not have opportunities such as going abroad. As people speak and hear their own languages in their life, they can notadapt their new language. Thus, I think, the best learning manner is that spending a lot of time with foreign people.

    Studying hard is fundamental requirement about learning foreign language. Every languages have rule and pronunciations,which require listening a lot. If they want to learn, they ought to study to rules, have friends who speak that language in order to speak and listen this language when they watch a movie and listen a music. Nevertheless, many people do not have this enthusiasm. Thus, they live problems.

    İn brief,people have problems while hey are learning a foreign language. Unless they speak this language or have enthusiasm , they live numerous problems.

  18. Have you ever thought why it is difficult to learn a foreign language?Learning language is an serious task.It requires patience and stability.In addition,you ought to enjoy learning language.According to research there are several reasons difficult to learn foreign language;however,there are two important reasons:Age and shy.
    One important factor is age.Foreign language education age gradually drawn down in the world;however,this training must raise awareness about the language and it ought to be liked learning.Hard grammer is taught to children by teachers and children say that 'We can not do this' and reduce self-confidence theirselves.Teachers should teach the grammer with plays,songs and activities.
    The second reason is shy.People should talk about their troubles to people so that the other people can understand,not the way it should be.If they wait to set of best sentences,they will not improve theirselves because they will afraid of doing wrong and they will back of theirselves.
    To sum up,learning a foreign language should be accepted as a part of life or education,and these problems can be solved by changing the viewing.

  19. Nowadays, people want to learn a foreign language. Many people learn English, because if you know English, you can not only get a better job but also travel all over the world so you don’t have problems to communicate with anybody. Learning English is important, but at the same time people are forced to learn the language. This could be many reasons yet I think, there are the two most important reasons..
    The first important reason why it is difficult to learn a language is education system. Children start to study English in our country when they are seven or eight years old. When they finish school, they are able to read and write in English, but they can’t speak it and they don’t understand English when they listen to somebody. In my opinion, the problem is that they don’t need to speak English in their usual life. In their education, they have to learn English, but this isn’t enough. I think, if you want to learn a foreign language, you can travel to a place where people speak this language. When you need to go to the supermarket or the cinema, you need to speak English, and you will learn English. In short, if you use correct ways,you can learn a foreign language easily.
    Secondly, a foreign language has different grammar rules from the own language because your own cultures are different from other cultures which you want to learn. As a result of these differences people have difficulty learning languages. Not only different vocabulary but also grammar rules can scare us, yet we should try to understand changes. For example, we should not direct translate your own language word phrase in order not to provide mean what you want to say.
    To summarize,some languages can be extremely hard to learn, but once they are learned they benefit you greatly. Language is what makes us human. It is how we share our thoughts with the world. A world without language is unthinkable.The more languages you know, the more ways you have to communicate and express yourself.

  20. Language is one of the significant things in a human life. From ancient times, people have been using a language for communication. The situation  is still same . People are using languages to contact eachothers. However, there are lots of language in this world. Because of this, people try to learn useful foreign languages for themselves. Nevertheles, learning a language is very hard. Why is learning a language difficult? Wrong education about the language which you want to learn, and people' disability for learning  a language are two main reasons for this problem.

    Wrong education is the basic reason to make learning language more difficult. Two things cause bad education. Firstly, many countries use wrong methods to teach a language. Teachers make boring lessons;therefore, they do not use visual implements,or something which makes language more easier. Rules of a language are memorized by students ;however, students cannot learn everything with memorizing. Next, many people cannot find a chance to practice the language which they have learnt. Schools and courses  do not provide that. Actually,  If you want to learn a language , you should make more practice , and use in your normal life. Some people go to a country where a language which they want to learn are spoken,for they can get a chance to practice. Thus, that makes easier to learn a language. In brief, people may live difficulties to learn a language If they take a wrong education for it.

    People' disability  is the other reason to make learning a language more difficult. Two things make people disability about that. Firstly, people' ages are very significant. According to a research at Oxford University , children in 0-5 can learn more quickly than the other ages. While you are growing up , your ability about learning a language becomes less. Secondly, people who have less virbul intelligence are disability for learning a language easily. They do not be eager about it;also, they make effort much more to learn. Al in all,  because of people' disabilities learning a language becomes harder.

    It is clear that,learning a language is very crucial and hard. There are many causes for that;nonetheles,  wrong education and people ' disability are fundamental reasons to make a language more difficult for learning.
