Is Tamil hard to learn?

It's definitely not easy to speak and learn but it really depends on what languages you speak. For example, if you speak French, English is not hard to learn. Same here. If you can speak a Dravidian language, Tamil is a piece of cake. However, since Tamil is from a very unique language family - Dravidian - it is very different. In fact Hindi is more related to English than Tamil is to Hindi. Tamil and Hindi are in no way related, with respect to the family tree. Overall, Tamil is a challenging language, especially when it comes to speech, but can be very fun to learn and converse in.
