Episode Synopsis "What's the most difficult language to learn?"

Show Notes  In this episode, I discuss the idea that there is a most difficult language to learn. I am sharing my thoughts on it with you, and I also bring information from the field of Second Language Acquisition to approach this question and see what we come up with.  Documentary about a whistling in Oaxaca, Mexico.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPuE0UMEMEs&t=295s  Foreign Language Methods Modules at the University of Texas at Austin. This is the chart I refer to in this episode. https://coerll.utexas.edu/methods/modules/technology/01/  German Song: Das kommt mir Spanisch vor! (that sounds like Spanish to me). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzUzk42W0GE  Do you want to learn Spanish by listening to conversations that you can understand? Check out my podcast, “Conversations in Spanish & Other Languages Podcast.” https://www.jezsc.com/csolp/all_sessions.html If you are listening on iTunes, I would love it if you leave me a 5 star review and a written review. Your comments are very helpful to help the show succeed in this platform. Thank you for listening!
