What was the hardest language skill for you to learn (reading, writing, speaking, listening, etc)?

Speaking

Definitely speaking especially when you live in country which very few people speak the language, it’s very hard to practice it.

Writing but only because I never practiced it, at least not creative/formal writing. Second hardest for me is still speaking because I don’t practice it enough in person. I rather be passive in life (read or listen) LOL Speaking will come easy to you. I can see you write really well so coming up with sentences isn’t an issue to you. If it is pronunciation, I learned it by singing along to lyrics or speaking along actors during their lines. That way I had a chance to practice my vocabulary and compare it at the same time.

Well, speaking of course. When you listen to something, or read something you can basically understand anything that someone's saying even if you don't perfectly know the grammar, by just literally translating the words used in the sentence. You can't do that while speaking. To speak correctly you gotta know the grammar very well, not to mention that if you have a strong accent, even grammar won't help people understand you.

I HATE PERFECT AND PERFECT CONTINUOUS TENSES

When I was trying to learn Arabic it was a tie between listening and reading handwritten Arabic.

Either pronunciation and the fear of being judged can slow down your progress, It's obvious that ppl will judge you because of your level, no matter how much you're trying, there will always be someone who notices your mistakes and highlights them (in a bad way obviously) Speaking tends to be more difficult to learn because of the said, and also we must add it that we learning artificially, focusing on grammar instead of speaking (babies learn their tongue language while getting surrounded and shadowing)

Speaking as I have nobody to practice it with. 

My hardest skill is speaking.

To me from the easiest to the hardest: reading < writing < speaking < listening I’m talking about normal communication. Honing each skill might have a different sequence. Reading is the easiest because once you remember enough words you can sort of understand written materials, even if you don’t understand much about grammar. Then comes writing. Although both writing and speaking are “creation”, writing gives you more time to think. Plus looking at the words simultaneously actually helps you write because you can look at the text as a whole. Next would be speaking, without visual aid makes it harder to generate the right words. And in reality you use less time to speak, and that means you have less time to think and generate next word. And you just cannot delete the previous word like in writing. I put listening at last because like speaking you have less time to process, but unlike speaking you have no control of the content being said. Reading and listening are both “reception”, but unlike reading, words are connected in natural conversations. You need certain level of knowledge and experience in that language to be able to know where to separate the words. And sometimes words are omitted. “Why did you lie” vs “why july”. Personal opinion.

Speaking. During my first phone calls I was super-frightened!

WRITING. Coz my movements are slower than my thoughts. If language skills includes THINKING, it would be my easiest! I think this topic is interesting! I see different generation experience different lacking in the environment to pick up language skills.

Me when the th sound:

For me personally, reading is the toughest part; I always struggled with speaking and find it a hard nut to crack

What challenges me the most is writing. I can't produce it fluently as much as speaking. I need to use up all of grammars I've learned and find suitable vocabs, which I always end up using redundant words. I hope that I can improve and develop it in Reddit.

I am learning French on Duolingo lol, and I find speaking the hardest.. Guess how many times I yelled out LOUD since it wouldn’t let me pass!!

Listening because some of them speak so fast I failed one of my exam just because of listening 🫠🫠

Speaking is hard in writing you can edit the spelling and grammar but in speaking we can't do it.
