In The Hobbit, there is pretty much understandable English, but there is also a lot of words you need to learn and understand by yourself. There is also an older kind of English, because the novel was written and published by J.R.R Tolkien many years ago, actually 78 years ago. The language is therefore maybe a little outdated, but that is what makes the novel better in my opinion.
And all these words you need to find out what means yourself, is pretty much words Tolkien has created himself, such as: Orcs, Goblins, Erebor, Archenstone, Smaug, and so on. But in the book, most of the words has a pretty obvious explanation.
So all summed up: The language in The Hobbit is perfect for this book, but after 306 pages, you may get a little tired of it.
Hope you liked it!
