However, familiarity picked up in everyday life or in the classroom makes a big difference, which is why Americans feel at ease with Spanish and Brits with French -- both romantic languages.

然而，在日常生活中习得的语言与在课堂上学会的语言有很大的不同，这就是为什么美国人觉得西班牙语更好学，而英国人觉得法语学起来轻松——虽然二者同属罗曼语族。

And although the majority of Americans and Britons polled thought Russian was the trickiest to pick up, it's actually "part of the same Indo-European language family as English," Plieninger adds.

Plieninger表示，尽管大多数美国人和英国人认为俄语是最难习得的语言，但实际上俄语“与英语一样，同属印欧语系。”

"What makes it difficult, however, is that it uses the Cyrillic alphabet, which is a big hurdle for beginners, and it also has a different grammar structure to English."

“不过，俄语难学是因为它使用西里尔字母表，这对初学者来说是一个很大的障碍，而且俄语和英语的语法结构也不同。”
