Which is the easiest language to learn?

Question

And why?

Answer 1

I frequently make this next statement, and I live by it.

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

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.

The only real benefit that Esperanto has over the other tongues in this case is its ease of absorption, and its clear demonstration of language structure..

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 (120 years) and a culture.)
Research and draw your own conclusions.

Ĝis!

Answer 2

Turkish. It's the natural langauge with the least irregularities. Irregularites, whcih are ever-so present in ever langauge, especiall English, seem to be close to absent in Turkish. There was a study that showed that native Turkish-speaking babies mastered speech (and their langauge) quickest.

Now you question was vague. Turkish wouldn't be the easiest for a native English-speaker just because the two lagnauges are almost COMPLETELY different. If English is your first langauge, I would suggest something like Spanish, American Sign Langauge, French, or German.

Answer 3

Sign Language, cuz you dont have to worry about pronouncing anything...AT ALL.....thats GOTTA be the best answer.....I study Spanish, however, because I am going into business and thought it would be a good attribute to have. I also, genuinely enjoy the challenge of learning a new language and will be studying in Mexico this summer. Sign language or Spanish...my picks

Answer 4

A pidgin or creole language might be the easiest. Conjugations tend to be very simple, and so is vocabulary. Jamaican English is pidgin, and Caribbean Papiamentu is a creole based on Spanish, English and Dutch. Try papiamentu. It is spoke in Curacao, Aruba and Bonaire.

Answer 5

Ciao! For me the easiest language to learn is Italian because it is very similar to spanish and spanish is my 1st language. Io amo parlare l'italiano! Buona Fortuna!

Answer 6

Mandarin Chinese! Nah, im just kidding, it took me years to learn it right.
I'd say any of the romance languages are the easiest, being Italian, French, Spanish, since they are all based off of Latin, and far easier than the eastern european and asian languages.

Answer 7

body language because u use it unconsciously all the time u just need to read the signs by ur inner sight and u will learn it in a heart beat

Answer 8

It depends on which languege you are a native speaker of. If you speak spanish for instance, Italian and Portugese are easy to learn, where as German, English and Japanese are much harder. As far as easier langueges for English speakers, German, Spanish and Esperanto (( made up "world" languege)) are supposed to be fairly easy to learn.
