Answer 1

Sign language?

But if we're talking about speaking languages, I would say that it depends on what the person learning's native language is. It's a bit trickier for some people who speaks English as their mother tongue to learn a language which involves female/masculine/neuter verbs and adjectives, but for someone who already speaks a language like that natively - like a Greek speaker - then they would find it less complicated to learn a language like that.

It just depends on whether the language being learnt has similar properties to your own, so is easier to grasp.

Well as a linguist that's what I've found anyway..

Answer 2

English is easy when you are born into it and learn the idioms that it's laced with, or if you're lucky enough to be imersed into it. Otherwise it's very difficult.
Take for instance the term 'go to bed.' Simple because you've learned the meaning of each of the words used. Now someone throws 'hit the rack' at you. You know what it is to hit, you know what a rack is, although you may not be familiar with the old Spanish inquisition rack. So now you're as confused as hell.

The easiest language is Esperanto. The past, present and future tense is always the same; -is for past, -as for present and -os for future. Also -us is a conditional tense and -u is an imperitive tense. Nouns end in 'o', adjectives end in 'a' and adverbs end in 'e'. You can always identify the direct object of a sentence because it has an 'n' on the end. This means you can change the order of the sentence and still retain the meaning. There are 28 letters in the alphabet and each has its own sound, no silent letters. If the word is spoken correctly, you automatically know how to spell it. With the system of affixes (10 prefixes and 32 suffixes), if I tell you a root word, you will automatically know the other possible variations of that word. The language is composed of sixteen simple rules. Learn a few words to go with it and you're set to discuss simple things about yourself. A weeks instruction and you can discuss physics if you've a mind to study an hour a day. Obviously results very, but you get the idea. Once you've got those basics, it's simply a matter of absorbing vocabulary and learning a few more rules. The vocabulary is derived mostly from the romance languages, yet contrary to some suggestions, the Asian half of the world is a great source of Esperantists. With 2 million plus speakers, it's not hard to find someone who speaks it in each major centre.

Answer 3

English is the easiest of the ones I know, despite what some other people have said here. Every language has a form of slang and idiomatic expressions, and being immersed in the culture helps to learn any language, including English.

Answer 4

Body Language

Answer 5

The easiest language in the world is English, but you already know this. So try to learn spanish, is not to easy, but is very important.

Answer 6

Latin is probably the easiest. It is a "dead" language which means that has remained static over the centuries with words not changing their meanings. I imagine that is why it is used so much by medics.
Closely related languages, like Italian and Spanish seem to be easier to learn than English, Gaelic, French or German.

Answer 7

English is my first language and is least complicated to me because of the fact I verify with English continuously. i comprehend a thank you to talk Spanish, and it replaced into purely annoying to verify the verbs and atypical verbs, after that it replaced into common. yet i think of discovering between ecu languages does no longer be as annoying as discovering a language regarding a very distinctive alphabet and pronunciations that are very unfamiliar like Russian or Asian languages. you do no longer probably comprehend a language totally until you hear close by audio gadget talk it. Like when I discovered Spanish, I knew Spanish yet did no longer comprehend how human beings used it. to illustrate, have you ever talked to a distant places guy or woman that knows English yet says her sentences weirdly.

Answer 8

English is the easiest language in world.

Answer 9

It depends on the person learning. For English speakers, Spanish or French are easier because they have the similar tense systems but for example, a Russian would be able to learn German easier because they understand the theory behind case and aspect.

Answer 10

I would say Spanish because its not as complicated as other languages. I heard that English was the hardest to learn and Asian languages because they don't have some of the words that we have in English.
