Which language is more difficult, Thai or English??

Both Thai and English are difficult but in the different way. For me, Borrowing many words from another country to use in Thai is very hard because you have to remember all of the words: what are the words mean, how to use in sentence and what country that word from. For English, writing and listening are the bad things. When we have to write some paragraph we must fluent in correct words and grammar and also have an idea to write. Those are so difficult. About listening, I sometimes don't understand some accent because I always study with the American teacher. That's so trouble.

I think English as its'n my mother tongue. However, the way to learn a particular foreign language for you depends on many different factors, such as natural talent, available learning resources, and your learning plan, but I believe the single most important factor is how closely related the language is to the languages you already speak.

For Thais, they will say English is more difficult. And for foreigners, most of them say Thai is harder.
In my opinion, they are difficult in different ways. It's because every language in this world is different.
For English language, I think it's hard because we have to study and try to understand
the grammatical rules which are several.
Thai people don't like studying English grammar and always think it's boring.
And the problem in studying English for Thai people is pronunciation.
It's quite hard for Thais to say some words in English because there's no that sound in Thai.
For Thai, Thai people like us absolutely can use so we don't think it's hard.
While most of foreigners consider it's difficult to learn because there're no actual grammatical rules.
When there're no grammatical rules in Thai, foreigners have to study from real sentences and practice how to use it.
And Thai accent is also hard for them. They can't say some words easily in Thai.

It is such an interesting topic.
Prevoiusly, I thought English was so difficult language even though Thai as my mother tongue. Now, I change my attitude. In my point of view, I think Thai is so difficult for me. I have many reasons why I say that. One of my reason is I am at English context now. I uses English for communicate almost everyday. There is no chance to use Thai language more. I am quite poor about Thai language. Even though I was studying Thai for may years but I couldn't spell any Thai words collectly. Moreover, I couldn't pronouce Thai words collectly also. When I was at grade 12 , I often failed Thai examination test. At the present time, I still think Thai is so difficult for me.

Thai is more difficults for the advanced information especilly the royal words, compond words, ancient Thai words, and Thai poems and proses but it is easy to understand for listening and speaking skills.
For English, It's not my native language. I have to try hard to speak and harder to listen for understanding. I may speak and write to convey the words and meanings but I cannot use the correct garmmar for these all the time.

Both Thai and English are not hard but these two languages have their own rules: certain usages
are not similar to the speakers' mother tongues. The skills of any language are developed easily through the regular practice.

Both Thai and English are difficult for me. Grammar and vocabulary are most difficult parts for me. I like Thai though. It is interesting. English is also difficult but when I have a chance to study it deeply it sounds fun to me. Since I like learning new languages it is easy to remember some sentences from each language and applied the way to remember the rules from each language. Anyway I think studying new languages is fun.

I think both Thai and English are difficult. I'm Thai so I found Thai is easier to understand. Well, I still think Thai is harder than English because it has tones which makes a single word to mean different things for example; Ma with a downward intonation is dog, upward it means a horse. In English the same can mean different things, but the difference doesn't come from how it is pronounced. The hard part of English is grammar. It always confuses me. Some tenses are just sightly different but why makes it complicated to use so many tenses in English. I never get it.

I think English is more difficult for me.
English is not my mother tongue.
If I want to be good in English, I have to try so hard to practice it.
Thai is my mother tongue. I use Thai to communicate in dairy life.
Even though Thai grammar is difficult, I can speak Thai as well.
