Learning a new language is always going to be a big commitment. Unless of course, you're a supremely gifted individual. Interestingly, some languages take longer for English speakers to pick up than others; that's according to a report from America's Foreign Service Institute (FSI), which teaches languages to diplomats. By estimating how long it takes to learn each language to a 'professional working proficiency', the report has placed a number of the world's languages in four categories from the easiest to the hardest to learn. However, these estimates assume that the learner is on a FSI course, and therefore has a "very good or better aptitude for classroom learning of foreign languages". It still makes for a fascinating insight into how much time it takes to master another tongue.
