It depends on a lot of factors, any language can be easy.
Many, like spanish and french, have male/female nouns you have to learn. And each tense has a different verb ending or spelling.
Japanese was easy for me (no male/female, you can get by with polite verb endings, theres a sentence structure formula--just plug in the words) and Chinese wasn't too bad either. But that's verbal, the memorization for the characters can be BRUTAL

If you have a passion to learn, you'll learn. Easy immersion program (and how i've learned 4 (going to 5!) languages) is Rosetta Stone. Very easy to use. no translations. no grammar notes. just real life sentences and practice drills.

Sign language is by far the easiest to learn. I speak English, a bit of Spanish, Yiddish, Mandarin, French and sign.
Sign is awesome as it's the same worldwide, except local slang signs.

I've always wanted to learn a second language but don't seem to have the right brain for it! One thing I did learn quite well was Irish Sign Language which is different to British Sign Language. BSL is using both hands and ISL is basically using one hand, similar to American Sign Language!

Spanish is the closest to English, so I think that's the easiest to learn. A lot of the words are similar enough that you'll remember them easily. And, they don't have all of the weird grammar rules and exceptions that we do.

Also there are Spanish words and phrases that you probably already know - Adios, cabana, uno, dos, tres, quatro, por favor, si, mas, solo, muy bien, etc.

The one weird thing is that objects are either male or female, and when you use articles like "the," you must use "los" for a male object and "las" for a female object. There's also masculine and feminine versions of those, that, and these.

It depends on your first language.

Assuming it's English I'd say the easiest language to learn is Kikuyu.

English. That's why so many people speak it (including the US population, because it was not initially the common language of all people who moved to America).

It depends on your native language.

If you know French, then Spanish is only a 1/2 step away.

No language is easy. I my opinion, western language is harder to master because there are too many vocabularies. Asian language has limited characters, but each word has so many meanings, and harder to write.
