Hello everybody! I have seen Finnish featured among the top 10 or even top 5 most difficult languages in the world so many times... But what is it that makes it such a hard language to learn? (except for native speakers of Estonian, obviously :D) Let's find out in this video! You will also learn about what is actually not difficult at all in this beautiful but - let's face it - quite challenging language... I hope you enjoy! Contents of this video: WHAT IS DIFFICULT: 1:13 Vocabulary (Finno-Ugric language family) 3:04 Case system (15 cases!!!) 5:13 Consonant gradation 6:53 Written vs. spoken language WHAT IS EASY: 9:23 Consistent spelling system 9:50 Pronunciation and stress 10:28 No future tense 10:46 No gender, no articles 11:42 One single declension 12:11 .... the Finns! :) *Note: These lists are by no means complete! I could have continued on and on rambling about multiple infinitives, multiple participles, dozens of word classes, bizarre verb conjugation patterns, etc. etc. etc... but I just wanted to point out which aspects are the most difficult ones for foreigners learning Finnish. I can easily make another more detailed video on ANY of these, if you guys are interested! ;D
