Наверное, самый часто задаваемый вопрос об изучении языков — «Какой язык самый легкий?». Отвечаю на него в общем и на примере носителей английского. Если коротко, самый лёгкий — тот, который наиболее похож на родной. Но, конечно же, это не всё.

В этом видео я рассказываю о самом лёгком и самом сложном для изучения языке.
