Which language is easy to learn French or German?

Answer 1

Spanish is the easiest language to learn, but some people don't think Spanish is the easiest, For Japanese people Spanish might not be easy.

English is not the easiest language to learn. I think Japanese, Chinese,Korean, Russian and English are the hardest Languages to learn

The easiest language for an English speaker to learn is Scots.

The easiest language to learn is the one with the most similarities to your individual mother tongue.

Answer 2

definitely German because i know from experience.

Edit:

I beg to disagree. In France, German classes have very few pupils and the learning conditions are actually perfect. However German is in sharp decline and Spanish neatly overtook it as the second-most taught foreign language (the first being English). Spanish is on the rise despite the working conditions being less good. I would say Spanish is the easier of the three.

French pupils loath German as the example of a difficult language, with a complicated grammar and all these changing word-endings. I think that French is a bit simpler for a foreigner. In addition English and French share a great pool of words having the same origin (French being influenced by both Latin and Germanic languages).

Answer 3

Well, if you speak english, Spanish will be easier as both languages are based of Latin.

Answer:

The previous answer is completely wrong. First, English is not based on Latin. Second, contrary to what some people believe, no language is naturally harder than any other. It depends on the person.

English is based on Latin, almost all prefixes and suffixes we use in English came from Latin. For example the word "percent" translates to "for a hundred". "Per" means for "Cent" means "a hundred". If you speak English it should be an easier language to learn since both languages use the same alphabet, and some of the soundings are the same. In Japanese you would have to learn a new alphabet and sounding chart, and learn to identify them apart.

Lynn-To chime in,while you'd have to learn the characters,japanese is easier when it comes to the words themselves.There's no plural words and the japanese language doesn't have things like there,their,they're.The subject isn't necessary to state usually since it'll be very obvious in the situation.Of course,if you don't have any interest in the language,it'll be more difficult to learn.It also depends on your situation.Obviously if your going to a spanish speaking place,knowing Japanese won't be of much help.Or if your going to somewhere in Japan,knowing Spanish won't be of much help.I recommend reading about both of them online,finding which one you like more,then going from there.I'm a native English speaker and I'm learning Japanese.I have a interest in the culture,find the language interesting, and plan to live and work there.From my experience,neither hiragana nor katakana are difficult to learn.The challenging part is learning vocabulary-but regardless of the language you decide to study,learning vocabulary is challenging.

Answer 4

Lowland Scots (not to be confused with Gaelic). Scots is a Germanic language that is very, very similar to English. It is also descended from Old English.

Another opinion:

Actually, according to linguists, it varies depending on the person. There is no one easiest language for English speakers to learn.

Many Americans report that Spanish is an easy language to learn. People in the UK tend to think French is easy. Other languages that often get cited as easy for English speakers are:

Dutch

Esperanto

Canadian French

American Sign Language

British Sign Language

Japanese (easy to speak; difficult to read)

Answer 5

It is easiest to learn the language which is spoken around you when you are a baby and young child. So, for most Americans, that language is English. However, for Americans who are born into a Spanish-speaking environment, Spanish is the easiest language for them to learn.

Some people think it is easiest to learn a foreign language which is similar to your native language. If that is true, then Dutch might be easy for English-speakers. If you have an opportunity to listen to and interact in a language on a regular basis, and a person who can help or teach you, that language will be the "easiest" for you to learn.

It depends on the languages that the learner already knows. For native speakers of English, Italian and Spanish are relatively easy.
