Some languages ​​are more difficult to learn than others, especially for native speakers. The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) is the U.S. government's primary training institute for foreign policy personnel, and its mission includes preparing diplomats and other officials to advance U.S. foreign interests abroad. Considering this, language learning is very important at FSI and offers courses in over 70 foreign languages.

She has also created a list indicating the approximate length of study required to learn a number of foreign languages. Published on the Effective Language Learning , the list is divided into several categories. Category I is the easiest with languages ​​such as French, Spanish and Italian all requiring around 23-24 weeks of learning time. Things get more difficult in Category IV, where Finnish, Polish and Russian take up to 44 weeks to learn.

Category V is the most difficult for English speakers, with Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean all lasting at least 88 weeks. Since this list was created by FSI, it is important to note that some language students or experts may disagree with the ranking.
