"Is it difficult to learn Chinese?"

Translation: 学习汉语难吗？

[codewritertom]

The version given here seems a little awkward. You would probably be more likely to hear"汉语很难学吗?"

[Dr_Jerry]

Came here to say that very thing. Also, 中文 should be a suitable substitute for 汉语 but Duolingo often marks it wrong, as they did here.

Or 学汉语难不难？

[Dr_Jerry]

学 by itself in a context such as this is probably not going to work. It just isn't natural.

Or学汉语难不难？

[OphiaOne]

That's what I was wondering, too

[Ant.H]

Why is it that 难 cam be used without 很 in this scenario? Are there hard and fast rules regarding when 很 is or isn't necessary?

[DatQuangLe]

Hen is not used in question I think. I read it somewhere

[vYxR8]

No native Chinese speaker would say it like that. The correct sentence is 学习汉语难不难？吗 variation hardly be used often

[Rumactree]

I was very happy to find my sentence accepted :)

学中文难不难？

[sparrky101]

is duolingo taunting us though

[trycykle]

Can one also say "中文难学吗?"

[MaxMorris19]

That's the better way to say it in fact

[smail600829]

(学习汉语很难吗?) is correct?

[Don2xu]

Yes it is one of the hardest languages!

[ClassiDuo]

Characters and tones are tough; grammar and compound words are not too bad, though.

[ToviOlivolo]

It has difficult parts and easy parts just like all languages, it also depends on your first language and other factors. I don't think it is very hard to learn...

[Igor242724]

Can you say 汉语学习难吗？

[BoxesAndBags]

Yes.
