English is quite easy for people who pick it up as a second language. Everyone loves to think it is so hard because of little grammatical things that can be tough to master, but acheiving basic fluency in English is easier than pretty much any other European language. Do a little research and dispel this urban legend. Indonesian is apparantly quite easy though not sure how useful. Probably Portugese or Italian are the easiest, though similar to Spanish, French is harder. The Scandanavian languages are easier for English speakers than the other Germanic languages out there. English is seperate from it's relatives so there's no other language that is really a snap to learn. Maybe something close to Farsi would be easy for you though I don't know of any specific languages.

Spanish is more difficult, grammar and writing rules are far more complicated than in english. For example in spanish conjugation you are talking about 17 diffent forms, three times as in each language (past, present and future), but each time has a lot of forms.
I think the best way to get an objetiv point of view for this question is asking someone who does not speak english or spanish as mother language, however has learned and can speak both.

Spanish is far easier. And for Fredojr77, Yea, it's conjugation. English has it too. But the great thing about spanish is that you don't need to always put "I draw" or "You draw". In spanish those two are "dibujo" and "dibujas". Both are seperate sentences by themselves. In English, the subject is necessary because you don't know who the subject is unless you have a lot of context.
Spanish, on average, in my opinion, is far easier than english. But then again, I was raised knowing english and some spanish, so that's my opinion.

Spanish is easier to learn than English. However, in school I was taught Castillian Spanish, but when living in El Paso, Texas, USA. the Mexicans/Latinos did not understand that Spanish and I did not understand them very well. So, I guess it depends on which Spanish you're talking about, and whether you mean to speak it, mostly, or write it.

English is usually reported as one of the most difficult languages to learn. However, most people don't have to compare the two, since people who come to an English speaking country seldom have to learn Spanish, and vice versa. I never studied Spanish, but had to learn a LOT of swear words and basic stuff, while teaching high school (they gave us a course; plus, I just picked up quite a bit)...so I knew when kids needed detention! :P I was stumped by the other kids from Vietnam, Cambodia, Poland and so on....

I speak English but know Spanish, so to me English is easy, but I have heard others say that English is the hardest language to learn.

I think it is easier to lean spanish because most of the words are pronounce as they are spelled and in English the words are pronounce on way and they are pronounce on a different way.

Depends on students native language and previous (general)knowledge.
English is almost as difficult as Chinese, as far as the orthography analytic Grammar which turns it into one of the most logical and easiest languages to learn.
Spanish has, by far, more complicated grammar, yet after the 10th lesson one just goes out and starts talking Spanish, lol.

As a second language, Spanish is, by far. There aren't as many exceptions to rules as there are in English, and the sentence structure is very simple.
