I saw another member do this recently, and it looked like fun. The purpose of this thread is to rate the relative
difficulty of the languages you study/speak. Relative difficulty should be a comparison of time it takes to learn.
Please rate only those languages that you have studied for at least 100 hours. Rate them on a scale of 1 to 10, 1
being your native language, and 10 being the hardest language you study. This is your experience only. Don't worry
about what others says.
EDIT:

who says that your native language was the easiest one? Given the time it took to learn it and to
perfect it it could turn out to be the project that took up most of your limit and attention. |

You are absolutely right. It made no sense for me to have native language on the list. But I'm going to leave
everything as is, so nobody feels they have to edit.

I haven't reached 100 hours of Polish study yet, but from what I've done so far, I
estimate it ending up somewhere between a 6 and an 8 for me.
