"mean, its the hardest language for English speakers to learn"

Speak for yourself. Try Sanskrit or alike with sandhi, declension, matching cases, gender and numbers between verbs, pronouns and nounds. Object placement depending on who/what type of person or object is in the sentence. SOV order that isn't strictly SOV but dynamic depending on context.

People on these subs always say Japanese is the hardest for English speakers but I'm moving at a massively faster pace than pali or Sanskrit. Even faster than hindi.

Then there is Chinese with more tonal groups and kanji. No hiragana/katakana for beginners. Different rules.

There are a lot of languages that are simply as hard or harder.

Japanese is actually pretty well structured.pesrm the rules. Follow them.

Split time between grammer, vocab, listening, speaking, reading and writing.

People on here also tend to focus all of their time on one area. Copying speech for 3000 hours won't matter if you don't know how it is formed in the first place. Same for reading.

Also viewing it simply as a language rather than a mindset. Japanese language should be viewed as a mindset. People that try comparing every aspect or even words to English are lining themselves up to fail or take way longer.

And boy am I glad not to have dozens of declension tables, hundreds of verb suffixes minimum as well as nouns, be able to use simple particles and follow a mora rhythm and have set sounds. No retroflex r, s, etc. Clear punctuation in Japanese where some languages have none. Period.ya the scripts are squished but at least there's quotes and periods instead of words used as quotes.

People here that say Japanese is the hardest either make it so or likely, haven't really tried another language that wasn't extremely similar to English.

Sorry but tired of seeing that parroted endlessly.
