The article discusses factors that determine which languages are hardest to learn as a second language. It notes that the greater the differences between one's first and second languages, the more difficult learning will be. While Chinese is often considered the most difficult due to its writing system and pronunciation, Japanese speakers may find writing less challenging since Japanese uses Chinese characters. No single language can be definitively deemed hardest, as learners' first language, teaching methods, motivation, and other individual differences all impact difficulty. British diplomats reportedly find Hungarian the most problematic due to its complex case system.

c) Paraphrase the following:
Online education enables you to study or teach from anywhere in the world.
This means there’s no need to commute from one place to another, or follow
a rigid schedule. On top of that, not only do you save time, but you also save
money, which can be spent on other priorities. The virtual classroom is also
available anywhere there’s an internet connection, and a good way to take
advantage of this is to travel. For example, if you’re studying abroad and want
to get a job, online education is a great choice. (Lee, M. & Troy, K. (2019).

_People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and there are many factors to
take into consideration. The greater the differences between the second language and our
first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. For Japanese speakers, who already use
Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult. British Test 1 Sem I Academic Session 2021/2022 8 of 9 LLE3012 CONFIDENTIAL
diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese,
but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian. This does not
mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British
diplomatic personnel the most difficulty._ In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one
language that is the most difficult language in the world _____________________________
