What language is easiest to learn if your main tongue is English?

Question

Or if you have been described as a visual mathimatition?

Answer 1

truthefully the concept of english is very independent.

All the other (mainstream) languages are based on latin. the others are very indivudual based on singular niches that have no or very littl erelation to a centralized language. Western Europs languages all revolve around latin, aside from german and russian related provinces.

You should really pick a language based on Latin as it can be applied to manyt other languages. They are all equally as difficult, the only differnce depends on the teacher/program you are learning from.

Spanish would be more useful in western america for obveous reasons. But if you are like me, and work internationally, you will find french is more useful as it is the second international language, and useually if you come apon a person whom dosnt speak english, chances are, they speak french.

Europe is nice, no one knows only one language. The majority usually knows two asides from english speaking areas.




If you cant pull this off, learn Canadian.

EDIT: Also. If you find it hard trying to dissasociate a language from your own. (Which is hard to do, trust me) take japanese, as japanese and english are completely unsimular and would be easier to differientate.

Answer 2

Esperanto :) It takes practically no time for English speakers to learn, but it's a fairly pointless language to have.

From personal experience, I find that German has alot in common with English, French too. People tell me Spanish is also easy for Anglophones to learn, but I've never tried myself.

For "visual mathematitions o.O" I'd go with Japanese. This language has very few paralells with English, however it conforms to strict grammar and sentence structures made up of particles and compounds. IIf you think of the particles as mathematical operators, it's as close to maths as a language can get, although that by no means makes it an easy language to learn :)

Answer 3

English isn't a phonetic laguage where you pronouce letters just as they are alone. There are five vowels, but they aren't restricted to only five sounds. Some other languages use letter combos to make a certain sound like french. Spanish on the other hand keeps vowels as they are and if they are combined, they still keep their phonetic No such thing as short or long vowels in spanish.

To answer your question, i'd say French and German

Answer 4

I think I've read that it's German (English is a germanic language).

I found Mandarin very easy but I find French and Spanish extremely difficult.

All the best - learning a new language is fun and keeps the Alzheimers away!

Answer 5

Swedish. I've studied a number of languages- and I'm fluent in Spanish- but Swedish is probably the easiest.

Also, in Swedish, the verbs do not conjugate between persons, so it makes it much easier to learn.

Answer 6

The sign language - no tongue expression is required. Only hands, fingers, eyes talk a lot...that is more than five tongues

Answer 7

Deutch. Considering our language's roots... the most probable.

As for Mathematician: Hebrew. numbers AND letters

I would suggest away from any Latin-based language as they all are .... well, hmmm... I cannot say... I have a block in that department.

Answer 8

1. American, the US lingo

Answer 9

Answer 10

Any other language, if you are keen in learning.
