What's the difference between diffcult and hard? Which one is correct.

Thanks a lot.

Answer

In this example, both are correct, and the meanings of the two words overlap.

Hard can be used in a number of different ways, i.e hard to do something, or the opposite of soft. 
Difficult is used to describe something that is not easy to do, or takes a lot of skill.

Answer

Because "hard" can also mean the opposite of "soft" it can be more clear to use the word "difficult" when you mean not easy.
