What? I thought Hungarian was like a Category 15?

Finnish and Hungarian in the same category as Icelandic? Those State Department employees are in for a surprise when they get transferred to Helsinki or Budapest!

Romanian is nowhere near as easy as people think it is. It only gets put on these lists due to being a latin language, but that’s extremely disingenuous.

Portuguese easier than Spanish and French yet I struggle to recall a single anglophone ambassador to Portugal who was fluent in the language, which is funny considering the source of this data.

It’s surprising that German, which is a Germanic language like English, is more difficult to learn than Spanish or French, which are Romance languages.

Portuguese being considered easier than Spanish is insane
I’m Portuguese and Spanish is a lot easier. The pronunciation alone is extremely easy compared to the insanity of Portuguese vowels
