It surprises me that most of the people here give 'Spanish' as an answer. Spanish has not been of great influence on the language, sure English does have some loanwords from Spanish just as it has loanwords from Dutch and Italian. The easiest languages to learn for Americans are Germanic languages like Dutch, German, Danish and Norwegian because they are closely related. Another language that might be fairly easy to learn is French since French has had a great influence on the language as well in the history of English.

I'd say French, actually. French or Spanish. If you ignore the accent part of those languages, you have the same alphabet [with slight differences in pronunciation] and a lot of the words are the same, or at least similar. Plus, if you learn one of those, the other is easy to pick up.
And I personally disagree with what everyone's saying about German being an easy language. It's very difficult to learn. My mother is fluent in it along with several other languages and she can attest to that.

Probably Spanish or German, English is based off of German and there are a lot of Spanish learning programs in America.

Any Latin based language like Spanish, German, Portugese, etc...
Portugese is the easiest one for me to undestand/speak.

German. English is a Germanic language and thus there are greater similarities in vocabulary. Tough grammar, though, for language learner to perfect his/her German skills. Dutch might be a good choice, as well.

Esperanto... LOL.
Spanish. Plenty of Spanish language TV to listen to to get used to the sounds.
