Foreign Language Difficulty Scale

[Janey Haynes]

You can find the anguage difficulty chart at the site below(from Bogdan Sagatov).  When you get to it, click on language study.  Then click on the question "How long will it---" and you'll come to an article about it.  It's toward the bottom of the article.
