And what are the criteria for deciding on how hard a language is to learn?

Dutch isn't the hardest language in the world, but only a few people know all grammar rules and a huge part don't understand the way verbs work here…

Okies. Dutch = 2nd world language now. o.O

I think it's mainly becausome some language cultures prefer to stay in their own, like the french. While flemish Belgians (like me), learn dutch first. Are forced to learn french in schools. Learn english from internet. And some learn a fair bit of german from going skiing. :D
