Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]
Right, shetland was a Viking/Norse community for many years after the Vikings left the UK. In the early years of Scotland we had 3 countries in one. In the North East we had Norse people, in the south east we had Pictish and in the west it was Gaels from Ireland that settled there. Eventually the Pictish overthrew the Gaelic king and formed a united Scotland under Clan Rule (still prevalent in modern scottish law). So in shetland they speak a mix of old norse and english, hence why norwegian is easy for them. For me, I have lived abroad and
used to speak arabic, mandarin and malay (i learned through speaking as a child but have since forgotten). So I have had no ties to the polish language, but I don't find it that daunting. At first it seemed impossible, but as time has passed it has become easier both with pronunciation and grammar.
In conclusion, I reckon that to say any language is the hardest to learn in the world is just silly.
