The hardest language in the world?

For people like you and me, it might actually be impossible. I recall reading somewhere that if you don't grow up learning a language that involves manipulating clicks and other sounds (such as many African languages and their dialects), by the time you're past eight or so, it registers in a different hemisphere of your brain as sound and noise, not as a language. Someone correct me if you know I'm wrong.

Every language I've studied aside from English aren't too hard. I mean, I'm not a language expert, but studying languages such as French and Spanish is like studying any other subject you would have in school. I wish I knew how hard English would be without growing up with it. I don't think it'd be up for most difficult language, but it would definitely be on the more difficult side.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
