F

31、irstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn only makes more sense when learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than

32、 a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. M

33、any people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters

34、in 8their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.Some people seem to learn languages easily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as wel

35、l as each learners motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.Obviously , British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the seco

36、nd hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian, which uses a similar alphabet to English but has 35 cases (forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject, object, genitive, etc). Thi

37、s does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel, who are generally used to learning languages, the most difficulty. However, Tabassaran, a Caucasian language has 48 cases, so it might cause more difficulty if British diplomats

38、had to learn it.Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. Therefore, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. The question of how har

39、d a language is to learn is only applicable to first language acquisitionB. The question of how hard a language is to learn is only applicable to second language acquisitionC. The question of how hard a language is to learn is applicable to both first and second language acquisition.D. There are too

40、 many languages in the world so its difficult to say which one is the most difficult to learn.99. Which language will a native Portuguese speaker probably find easier to learn?A. Chinese , because Portuguese use Chinese characters in their own language .B. Japanese , because it is similar to their o

41、wn language.C. Spanish , because it also uses Roman alphabet .D. Any one but Chinese, because its pronunciation is very difficult.10. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph3？A.
