Do you think it is difficult to learn a new language?

Grammar

Singular and plural issue

× Well, there are various languages which I can frequently speak such as Urdu, Hindi and Hindi.

Well, there are various languages that I can often speak, such as Urdu and Hindi.

The student repeated 'Hindi' and used 'which' with 'languages' (better to use 'that' or 'which' but 'that' is more natural here). Also 'frequently' is not wrong but 'often' is more natural. Remove duplicate 'Hindi' to fix the plural/list error. Suggestion: list distinct languages and avoid repeating items.

Incorrect use of pronouns

× I can speak Hindi because it is my mother tongue and since I live in Karachi, Pakistan, I know Urdu well and also I know English very well because I have taught English in school.

I can speak Hindi because it is my mother tongue, and since I live in Karachi, Pakistan, I know Urdu well; I also know English very well because I taught it in school.

The sentence is long and uses repetitive pronoun/verb structures ('I know', 'I also know'). 'Have taught' suggests present perfect continuous relevance; simply 'taught' fits the past completed action. Using a semicolon or breaking into clauses improves clarity. Suggestion: use concise clauses and correct tense for completed past action.

Verb + -ing form

× Well, yes, I think it's quite difficult to learn a new language from the beginning because it requires lots of efforts and like hard work to learn a new language entirely.

Yes, I think it's quite difficult to learn a new language from the beginning because it requires a lot of effort and hard work to learn a language completely.

Errors: 'lots of efforts' is incorrect—'a lot of effort' or 'lots of effort' is standard; 'like hard work' is informal and redundant. 'Entirely' is awkward; 'completely' or 'fully' is better. Suggestion: use 'a lot of effort' and avoid filler words like 'like'.

Verb in the present participle form

× Yes, I'm considering to learn other languages such as French and Italian future because I have to go to Italy for my masters so I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, I'm considering learning other languages such as French and Italian in the future because I have to go to Italy for my master's, so I'm looking forward to it.

After 'consider' the gerund 'learning' is required (not 'to learn'). 'Italian future' is incorrect order; 'in the future' is the correct phrase. 'masters' needs an apostrophe: 'master's' (degree). Suggestion: use gerund after 'consider', correct word order and possessive form for degrees.

Present tense issue

× Why do you learn English?

Why do you learn English?

This is the examiner's question; as a question it is grammatically acceptable but contextually more natural as 'Why did you learn English?' or 'Why are you learning English?'. No correction required for grammar; consider tense change to match intended meaning.

Sentence structure errors

× Well learning English was extremely important for me since from school till my university every subject is in English and it's very important to learn English.

Well, learning English was extremely important for me because from school through university every subject was in English, so it was very important to learn English.

Problems: missing comma after 'Well'; 'since from school till my university' is unidiomatic—use 'from school through university' or 'from school to university'. Tense consistency: use past tense 'was' since referring to past period. Repetitive phrase 'it's very important to learn English' can be adjusted to 'so it was very important'. Suggestion: maintain consistent tense and use natural prepositional phrases.
