最近，话题“DeepSeek认为最难学的语言”冲上微博热搜！
某网友在向DeepSeek提问“人类最难学的语言”后，DeepSeek通过深度分析各个语言的难度，精准戳中了广大语言学习者的痛点。
A netizen reportedly asked the AI model DeepSeek to identify the most challenging languages for learners. After analyzing linguistic complexities, DeepSeek's response struck a chord with many.
网友们也在评论区热情互动：
无论是从声调、书写还是语法文化层面来说，汉语的使用难度较高，对初学者的难度很大。
From its tonal system and character-based writing to its grammatical structures and cultural context, Chinese presents significant challenges for learners, particularly daunting for beginners.
老外眼里的汉字竟然是这样的：
汉语中还有众多的方言，也给学习者带来巨大的“坎坷”：
还有网友建议：
汉语已然如此之难，但你可别以为其他语言就容易对付，谁还没点“杀手锏”呢？！
阿拉伯语：“一个字母四种写法，词根变形堪比奥数题！”
芬兰语：“竟然有15种变格？说话是不是要靠语感蒙呀？”
法语：“数字80要说4×20？数学不好不配说法语！”
不过，吐槽归吐槽，学语言到底有没有方法呢？
Lýdia Machová在TED演讲《The secrets of learning a new language》里分享的这些方法，也许能给我们一些启发，快快收藏！
I love learning foreign languages. In fact, I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years, currently working on my eighth one.
我喜欢学习外语。事实上，我非常喜欢学习外语，以至于我每两年都会学习一门新的语言，目前正在学习我的第八门语言。
When people find that out about me, they always ask me, "How do you do that? What's your secret?" And to be honest, for many years, my answer would be, "I don't know. I simply love learning languages."
当人们得知我有这个习惯时，他们总会问我：“你是怎么做到的？有什么秘诀吗？”说实话，多年来我的回答一直是：“我不知道。我只是热爱学习语言。”
很多人都想知道多语言者的秘诀，Lýdia Machová本人对此也感到好奇：“其他的多语言者到底是怎么做的？我们有什么共同点吗？……”
于是，她决定见见其他像她一样的人，并试着找寻背后的答案。
As I was listening to these polyglots telling me about their methods, it suddenly dawned on me: the one thing we all have in common is that we simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process. All of these polyglots were talking about language learning as if it was great fun.
当我聆听这些多语言学习者向我介绍他们的学习方法时，我突然意识到：我们共同拥有的特点是，我们都找到了享受语言学习过程的方法。所有这些多语言者在谈论语言学习的时候，都表现得像那是一件极其有趣的事情。
当然，找到乐趣是十分重要的，但是仅凭兴趣是不够的！Lýdia Machová表示：如果你想要流利的说一门外语，还需要：
▌找到有效的方法
If you try to memorize a list of words for a test tomorrow, the words will be stored in your short-term memory and you'll forget them after a few days.
如果你试图背诵一份词汇表以便明天参加考试，这些词汇会被存储在你的短期记忆中，几天后你就会忘记它们。
If you, however, want to keep words long term, you need to revise them in the course of a few days repeatedly using the so-called space repetition.
然而，如果你想长期记住这些词汇，你需要在几天内反复复习它们，使用所谓的间隔重复法。
如果你不确定哪些方法是有效的，可以多去看看多语言学习者的主页，从那里获取灵感。如果这些方法对他们有效，那么很可能对你也适用！
▌制定自己的学习计划
We're all very busy and no one really has time to learn a language today. But we can create that time if we just plan a bit ahead.
如今我们都很忙，没有人真正有时间去学习一门语言。但是如果我们事前计划一下，就能挤出那个时间。
Can you wake up 15 minutes earlier than you normally do? That would be the perfect time to revise some vocabulary. Can you listen to a podcast on your way to work while driving? Well, that would be great to get some listening experience.
你可以比平时早起15分钟吗？那将是复习一些词汇的完美时间。你在开车上班的路上能听播客吗？那将是非常好的听力练习机会。
▌要有耐心
It's not possible to learn a language within two months, but it's definitely possible to make a visible improvement in two months, if you learn in small chunks every day in a way that you enjoy. And there is nothing that motivates us more than our own success.
在两个月内学会一门语言是不可能的，但如果每天以自己喜欢的方式学习一点，那么在两个月内肯定能看到显著的进步。而且，没有什么比我们自己的成功更能激励我们了。
愿每一位语言学习者都能在探索的过程中，发现最适合自己的学习路径，真正领略到语言学习所带来的乐趣。
