Yeah I don't and won't. The gramma is too hard to learn by watching TV. I bet you got no idea about the different times let alone the 4 cases lol but whatever you think.

Yeah I agree with Cauzing. Unless you have that pill from limitless, I don't think you would be able to pick up german grammar from watching TV. More likely that you knew phrases and words. I live in Switzerland so I watched my share of german TV, and that didn't help my grammar xD But who knows, i'm not the best with languages.

No it's not mate I was even a kid when I learned it I was like 10-13...watching cartoons.Ofc I didn't understand it at the begining but after some time u get what they are speaking and how they act...Really it's not so hard...well at that time I didn't have programs on my language so I watched the german program pretty much 24/7...

Hmmm...I've heard that Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic...etc. are hard to learn. But it really depends. There was an interpreter in my country who spoke 16 languages at native level, learned Japanese in a week...

I'm not really interested in languages...Apart from my mother tongue, it's not like I'll use anything but English (unless I want to move abroad). To me Russian was quite hard to learn, at least compared to English, but Latin was easier than Russian. :hint:

English for me. It's way too hard, there are many words that sounds the same, there are some words that are use differently depending on the situation.

I'd say the different writing styles of Japanese and Mandarin Chinese too. I don't find Japanese difficult to learn by ear though! I'm trying to learn Dutch and I'm glad I know english cause I find it difficut being native portuguese. German I guess it's difficult too

Albanian.

The Albanian language is an Indo-European language in a branch by itself, sharing its branch with no other extant language.Albanian is divided into three major dialects: Gheg, Tosk, and a transitional dialect zone between them.Standard Albanian has 7 vowels and 29 consonants.Albanian has a canonical word order of SVO (subject–verb–object) like English and many other Indo-European languages.[45] Albanian nouns are inflected by gender (masculine, feminine and neuter) and number (singular and plural). There are five declensions with six cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), although the vocative only occurs with a limited number of words, and the forms of the genitive and dative are identical (a genitive is produced when the prepositions i/e/të/së are used with the dative). Some dialects also retain a locative case, which is not present in standard Albanian. The cases apply to both definite and indefinite nouns, and there are numerous cases of syncretism.
