no language is necessarily the easiest. they all have their troubles.
pick a language, practice every day, immerse yourself in it. thats how babies learn

Well, I've tried many and I find Spanish to be a very well structured language with very few complicated exceptions. French has lots more exceptions and the pronounciation of letters can be changed by proximity with other letters.
Both use the same alphabet as English but French (and Portuguese) use accents and other signs while Spanish uses only tonal accents (the accent does not change the pronounciation of a letter, just the intonation).
Chinese has less structure (no complicated verb tenses), however, you have to learn more words in order to get around the problem of no verb tenses.
In English, you can distinguish between: I eat the apple, I ate the apple. In Chinese, you have to say I eat the apple yesterday (or whenever it was). And, I do not know if you've noticed, they do not use the same alphabet as English.
Russian has conjugated verbs and word declension (inherited from ancient Greek). Also, the alphabet is different. However if you have learned the Greek alphabet, most Cyrillic letters will be familiar.

I am a native English speaker, and I learned Italian as a second language. After that, I learned Spanish and then French, Out of all those languages, Italian is the easiest, and not to mention, the prettiest. Buona fortuna!

Is there any language you love to concentrate track in besides English? Or any pastime stuff in a few international language you're into? Just for encouragement, I've in no way lived in an English talking nation, but I talk

Languages that are closely related to English, and would be the easiest for am English speaker to learn are Holland Dutch, Danish, German. English is a Germanic language so many of our words are almost the same as in English,

Go for another langauge that has Germanic roots - like German, for instance.
I learned Dutch which was pretty easy for an English speaker.

Apparently Indonesian is really easy and Italian is more spoken but a little more harder to learn
