How difficult is it to learn French, compared to other languages?

Antoine Jean-Bressani : Difficult. I have taught English extensively, as well as bits of other languages, and I have to say that the number of details involved in speaking (worse, writing) French is particularly intimidating when looked upon as a whole. But I love to build that edifice slowly. And sometimes my students don’t need to be speaking a faultless French!

Eva Boulnois : I wouldn't say that French is a very difficult language to learn. It does require regular work as any other language and it make take some time for you to learn to the level you want, but if you take one thing at a time, you will get there!
