which is the easiest language in the world to learn?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as one language, which would be easy to learn for everybody, even though attempts were made to create artificial languages such as Esperanto which have only few grammatical rules without exceptions.
If your native language is English, Dutch and German are closely related to it, which would help you to memorize words more quickly, but not necessarily with grammar.
Personally, of all the languages I ever learned or tried to learn (English, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Estonian, ancient Greek, German is my native language) I found Estonian the easiest (grammar was, at least to me, quite logical and there are many words derived from German) and Polish and Russian hardest.

Answer 2

Each language is dependant on the complexity it presents to potential students, and the desire and mental discipline that those students command.
The constructed language Esperanto is the strongest contender as the easiest language because it is designed to be just that. A look at its history will show you that it is expanding exponentialy. In numerous studies conducted over the last century, it has been demonstrated that first mastering Esperanto can lessen significantly the amount of instruction required for a third or forth language, because it clearly demonstrated linguistic theory that is useful in understanding languages. The link below provides details on this phenomena.
Now one could say that the same effect would happen with almost any language, and I believe they are correct. So if you are in a position to learn any language, and hope to use it to vault into a third language, then by all means do so.
The only real benefit that Esperanto has over the other tongues in this case is its ease of absorption, and its clear demonstration of linguistic principles.
I frequently make this next statement, and I live by it.

"If you can't learn Esperanto, you can't learn any language."

At the very least, if you learn Esperanto first, which by the way can lead to the enjoyment of meeting new friends and traveling to new places, you'll at least have that under your belt regardless of how far you decide to take any other languages.
It's not uncommon for a student of Esperanto to become fluent inside of a month, maybe less, if you've the desire.

Please don't let anybody tell you it's useless. As with anything else, it's use is dependant on how you decide to use it. With over 2,000,000 speakers in the world, there aren't too many places where you won't find it, you just need to look. The internet is the best place to start. The sites below are the best intitial places to investigate the language and it's history. (Yes, it has a history (119 years) and a culture.)
Research and make your own conclusions.

Ĝis!

Answer 3

I think the easiest language to learn is Spanish.

Answer 4

If you are a native English speaker, then German will be the easiest to learn because it has the most similarity with English. Many words are nearly identical - House and Haus, Bed and Bett, Cat and Katze. Both languages use gutteral stops, so words and sentences will be easier to pronounce. German pronunciation and grammar rules are consistent, so it's not too tricky to learn.

Answer 5

From all the languages that I've learned, Spanish is the easiest one, but it all comes down to each person. If you've already learned Spanish, it will be quite easy to learn another romance language, like French, Italian, and especially Portuguese. Portuguese is very similar to Spanish. =)

Ex:
Bienvenido=Welcome
Bem-vindo=Welcome

Answer 6

Body language

Answer 7

English.

Answer 8

I speak Portuguese, Spanish, some French and some Italian, but none of them is as simple and easy as the English language.

Answer 9

There is no such thing as an easy language.
Every language has its difficulties. (grammar, in some cases, pronunciation, spelling in others,...)
However, if you are a native English speaker, you may find German easier as it comes from Germanic, just like English. (hence the similarities between English and German words. eg milk=Milch, water=Wasser,...,...)
For native French speakers, like myself, romanic languages such as Spanish or Italian are a bit easier to learn.

Answer 10

The language of love.
