Ive been taking french lessons for a while now. I can have a conversation in french and write a letter and all that. Im thinking of learning spanish, and some people say its kinda like french, so it will be easy for me to learn it. How long does it take to learn and which one is easier or faster to learn in ur opinion?

Spanish is medium in difficulty. The verbs are the hardest thing to learn. For example in spanish to run is correr. If the subject is you then you say corro, if its your mom its corre, if its a group its corren, if it s you and a group it corrimos. That's not even the hard part. The past tense of of you in correr is corre, your mom is corro, group is corrien, you and group is corrimos. That just one verb.

Spanish pronunciation is fairly easy for English speakers, with only ten vowel/dipthong sounds (English has 20), and the easy-to-master letter ñ. Like Italian, the orthography is clear and simple; words are written as they’re pronounced, which makes reading easier. Grammatically, Spanish has fewer irregularities than other romance languages too.

A slippery element of the language (and all the Romances) is in false cognates: word pairings that sound the same as an English word, but mean something different. Particular means “private” in Spanish, and eventual means possible.

Supposedly, you can learn how to speak Spanish fluently in four years in the classroom. In private, personal, or self-lessons, you could probably learn to speak Spanish decently in around five to ten hundred hours. I would say that Spanish would be easier to learn, in America at least, because of the many resources and informational groups that are offered all around the country and on the net. There is also the many cognites that espan(~)ol and English share. Plus, while many things in English-speaking countries are sold and used under French names, pronounciation is often very off-course and this can be confusing. Is it not? Good luck!

I speak both Spanish and French. The two languages are very similar, since they are both derived from Latin. Neither one is easier than the other. In order to become fluent in a language, you have to devote a lot of time and effort. Good luck!

In my opinion and because I'm Spanish, Castillian Y Aragon, I believed the language can be learn best, in the field?, at least that is the way I learn my English, true practice and experience, it took perhaps a bit longer for my self, to see and experience what I consider to be a good result, although, such a time, I consider it has begun to pay-off. may I ask ,your opinion?
