Of course for most speakers of Latin-based languages, Latin is the easiest (although dead) language to learn, as it is at times logical. Outside of Latin, it really depends on multiple factors. Some people are naturally gifted at learning some languages, and also the desire to learn a language makes it more or less difficult. For English speakers, most romance languages will be the easiest. However, languages that utilise a whole new alfabet are harder to learn, as it is often hard for people using the standard alfabet to comprehend how certain new letters make different but familiar sounds. For example, in Chinese, each word has nine different sounds, each meaning something different. For most English speakers it is impossible to notice any difference. But once again it all depends on your personality and surrounding environment. If you are around a certain language that you don't know, you will most likely pick up at least some of it eventually.

Thai. Although the tones make it very hard....you can be understood pretty well without them, which makes it extremely easy, since the language structure is pretty simple. For example, if you want to say ice, you just say hard water. Rain is falling water. Which means instead of memorizing a bajillion new words, you just have to learn the basics and then combine them! I have a friend who mastered this language in 6 months. I speak a lot of it too, even though I never really tried to learn it much. Japanese might be an easy one to learn to speak, although both Thai and Japanese writing will be hard to master. Italian is pretty hard to learn unless you're motivated, because the verbs change depending on nouns. German is even harder, 'coz the verbs AND the nouns change according to other rules. French isn't easy either, just like Italian, but with more problems since you can't just read it and pronounce it 'as is' if you think in terms of the English alphabet. Korean is nearly impossible. My advice (I speak a lot of languages, so I'm speaking from experience) is to find a very good reason to learn a language, because the only way to really learn one fluently is to be truly motivated to do it. Even if Hindu is hard, you have the benefit of having friends to converse with....which goes a LOOOONG way towards ensuring you speak it well.

well first of all learning a new language is always gonna be hard no matter what that language is.
i hear german is somewhat easy though. french is pretty fun to speak once you get it. italian and spanish would probably be really helpfl. spanish cuz so many effing people speak it and italian cuz many english words come from latin roots
i think you should give Greek a shot. its actually really fun trying to learn it with tapes!!

Maybe Spanish, their alphabet is similar to the American one and most of their words are easy to pronounce. You can get Spanish videos in some stores too, they help a little. Did you know that English is the hardest language to learn? I heard that from my teacher and he is really smart about things like that.

I've performed this countless instances, each on the interest degree and professionally, each precise-intent and typical-intent languages. You have to recognize approximately lexicon, syntax, constant expressions, context-unfastened grammars, summary syntax bushes, static semantic evaluation, code new release and optimization tactics, simply to call a couple of. There is not room right here to enter all that you are going to have to recognize for this (nor do I have that form of time), however the countless hyperlinks beneath must scrape the outside.

German is really close to english (isn't that weird? I took German for a semester). Also, depending on how long you want to take the language, Spanish isn't that hard. (Unless you take it for more than 3 years.)
