But what does German have to be classified as one of the languages \u200b\u200bthat offer the most difficulties when learning it? Perhaps, it would suffice to say that his words are sometimes very long and made up of a number of consonants that are scary to see altogether. <strong>The classic example says it all:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cGeschwindigkeitsbegrenzung\u201d.\u00a0which means &#8220;speed limit&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In addition,\u00a0<strong>although Germans have three genders which are<\/strong>: masculine, feminine, and neuter, it is not very easy for us to say to guess the gender<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<strong>German, it is sometimes somewhat difficult to know what the gender of a name is, at least intuitively<\/strong>. For the less initiated in this language, it will be very difficult to suppose that the words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Albert (work)<\/li>\n<li>Welt (world) and so many others are feminine in German,<\/li>\n<li>While M\u00e4dchen (Girl) is neutral,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They will only be able to approach this reality by learning certain tricks that they identify in the gender of a word.\u00a0Actually, you just have to pay attention and watch the endings.\u00a0That is, you\u00a0<strong>have to learn by heart<\/strong>\u00a0that names that end in \u2013chen- are neutral and those that end in: eit, &#8211; heit, -keit &#8211; ung are always feminine.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Turkish<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many people fall into the\u00a0<strong>error of affirming that Turkish and Arabic are alike<\/strong>\u00a0because of their physical proximity.\u00a0It is still an erroneous thought, because it starts from an observation that is not real, because the Turk uses, in addition to some new letters, his alphabet is closer to Spanish.\u00a0However, this does not mean that it is easy for Spaniards, since as we already know the difficulty of a language is not limited to its writing.\u00a0We must bear in mind that Turkish is classified as one of the most difficult languages \u200b\u200bto learn for different reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first reason is\u00a0<strong>vocal harmony<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The Turkish phrase &#8220;It seems that you have to suffer to be beautiful&#8221;, is a saying that can perfectly illustrate what the Turkish language is.\u00a0In addition, the rules of succession of its vowels require a lot of perseverance for their learning in the effort to fully assimilate the Turkish language, which for many Spanish students is usually torture.\u00a0However, Turkish has great harmony and beauty that makes us affirm that it is worth the effort to learn this language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Danish<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Danish is a language of the\u00a0<strong>Germanic branch and is related to German<\/strong>\u00a0;\u00a0however, their conjugation is much simpler, while they only use the genitive in declensions.\u00a0In addition, their words are usually much shorter than German.\u00a0But despite these characteristics, Danish is far from easy, although it does not offer the same obstacles that German puts us on a Latino. It&#8217;s<strong>\u00a0big problem is pronunciation<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>In principle we will say that the written and the oral form are two quite different things and this makes\u00a0<strong>pronunciation for learning one of the most difficult in all of Europe<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0The great difficulty that Danish presents is that it is a language that uses more consonants in writing than in its oral system.\u00a0Really, for a Spanish it can be very difficult to see so many written consonants that are then absent in the spoken words.\u00a0A Spaniard, a Frenchman, etc., would go crazy to pronounce the following words: &#8220;man&#8221;, &#8220;tomme&#8221;, &#8220;like&#8221;, &#8220;apple&#8221;, &#8220;gomme&#8221; or &#8220;sum&#8221; all in the same way, that is, &#8220;ome \u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Russian<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A Spaniard who begins to study Russian,\u00a0<strong>what strikes him the most at first is his Cyril alphabet,<\/strong>\u00a0believing that it is the most difficult part of this language.\u00a0But it is not like that, although at first it shocks us because it is nothing like ours.\u00a0The drawbacks of Russian, which makes it truly difficult, come next.<\/p>\n<p>Russians are not very satisfied with the decline in common names.\u00a0And they\u00a0<strong>do the same with proper names: names of cities, countries, people &#8230; Anything goes<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0In addition to that, the variations must respect quite eccentric rules for a Hispanic: the inanimate masculine (that is, objects, for example, a telephone) is thus differentiated from the animated masculine (in other words, human beings &#8211; for example, your brother).\u00a0In addition, the rules for plural declension vary according to the quantity expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;10270&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;11&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;2.3&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;\u00a1D\u00e9janos unas estrellitas si te ha gustado el post!&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;2.3\\\/5 - (11 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The most difficult languages \u200b\u200bfor a Spanish speaker&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;62.4&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px;
