Question

Not including English

Answer 1

Depends..

I would say spanish, its because I'm a portuguese speaker...(I wont say portuguese coz I already speak it...=] )

Maybe for u...an english native speaker...German would be easier..coz german is an english cousin language. lol

Eng verb conjugations is the easiest!! Eng only has one definive article...only oneeee!!hahaha....eng doesnt have male and female to adjectives....and so on...

Answer 2

Guy up told "portuguese" lol. Portuguese is a fresh language, most foreing ppl that I know tell me that it's hard as chinese.
Even brazilians doesnt speak it well, ( althought it's cuz we are dumb, of course ). Of course also is that Brazil don't stay in Europe, but the language is the same as Portugal.
In fact, it depends of intensity u get in contact with the language: I suggest u learn french cuz Canada have Quebec and u can pratice it easy with the quebecois. If u live in Vancouver, try chinese, that's the second most spoke language there. If not, try german, I believe that when u speak english it's a way easy to learn german cuz the bases with english are the same. Good luck! =)

Answer 3

It is certainly Spanish. It is easier to tell the gender of nouns than it is in French, plus it is a phoentic language. It is non-inflected which makes it easier than Russian and German.
However, I agree with a previous answerer who mentioned Latin. Get that under your belt, then you are set up for learning any Romance language. As it IS inflected, it should also help you with other inflected languages.
I have been home educating my daughter (13) for a few months now and I have started to teach her Latin. At the moment this takes priority over her French and Spanish, because I feel it will take out much of the hard work in preparing her for GCSEs in the two modern languages.

Answer 4

After English I have found Spanish the easiest but it is more difficult than English except for spelling.

Answer 5

I speak romanian..but i don't think it is an easy language to learn.
I also speak english - which seems easy.
I speak a little french but I find it soooo difficult. Even though I have been learning english and french for an equal amount of time my french stinks.
Spanish is very easy to learn and italian.

Answer 6

Hi there,

The easiest European language to learn is one you are interested in and will stick at. Ask yourself why your want to learn a language, list reasons ie social, business, work, someone you are attracted to etc etc. This will makwe your choice easier. Good luck

Kind regards and much festive fun

Answer 7

All languages have their traps and pitfalls. I'd say Spanish but then I'm French and it is a cousin language of mine so I found it easier than German.

To Meg : lol If you use bad grammar in French they won't understand you, even if you have a good accent. Just to start with, we have 19 tenses (all right, we only use half of them most of the time but still).

Answer 8

A. English is probably the hardest language to learn because for every rule there are approximately 452 exceptions...

B. There is no language that's easier than another to learn. That said, if you're good at pronunciation, go with French, since they don't really care if your grammar is correct, as long as your accent is good. If you strength is German, go with that, since they're more concerned about proper grammar than bad accents. Spanish is also a very popular choice, since there are so many different sources you can use while your learning. Best of luck.

Answer 9

For a native English speaker: Spanish

There are only 5 basic vowel sounds (not counting dipthongs and tripthongs) in Spanish,

There are like 12 or something in French, there are probably more cognates between English and Spanish--French is harder.

Answer 10

German, for an english speaker, because english is a Germatic Language.
