Languages by Difficulty to Learn for English Speakers
The Foreign Services Institute of the United States government has 'invested a lot of research' on difficulty to learn languages for English speakers. They have categorized 59 languages into 5 categories based on how many weeks of full-time classes it would take to achieve fluency. Can you put each language into their respective category?
Hint: the categories are NOT balanced
