How hard is it to learn Norwegian for someone who speaks Gujarati, Hindi, English, Urdu, Esperanto, and Spanish?

Answer 1

Well, that depends on the following items

1. When you say speak "x" language. How well do you speak them? Many people tell me they "speak" Spanish, but give up exhausted after about 20 minutes of chatting with native speakers. Does the way they speak count? Yes, sorta.
2. How much contact do you have with Norwegian speakers and their culture?
3. What do you mean by "learn" Norwegian? If the goal is to have basic conversation about "stuff," you can learn to "speak" just about any language in a few months. I remember having a "conversation" about philosophy after just a month of living in Istanbul.

Any people with common knowledge (science, studies, etc.) and good will can communicate with minimal linguistic skills.

Having diverse knowledge of phonetic, grammatical and lexical systems (all Indo-European in your case) is A GREAT advantage.

However there are only two things you need to learn a language:

1. Motivation
2. Opportunity

You must have a reason or desire to learn.

You must have the opportunity to learn.

Living in Norway would give great opportunity and hopefully the motivation.

The internet extends a lot of opportunity—giving access to language materials despite the geographic distances.

Motivation-that's up to you.

Best,
