Languages differ in how hard they are to learn, they are not just 'different' or some other relativistic nonsense. Aside from intuitve estimates, is there some systematic way to measure how hard a language is to learn? The answer is “yes”. The first time i talked about with this another person, i was amazed to hear that he thought it was impossible to rank languages in order of difficulty to learn, even conceptually. I can think of a number of ways to figure this out, some better than others.
