Is Spanish easier than French to learn?

It can be but I am not so sure myself. I think they are both pretty similar but it is up to you to decide to which suits you best. The more you keep practicing on it the easier it is for you. I don't know, I was trying to figure out which to take in high school. I wanted French (cause it's cool), but my mom wanted Spanish, so I'm taking Spanish.AnswerSpanish is somewhat easier than French for an English-speaking beginner to pronounce. It has only one silent letter and only a few sounds that do not occur in English. Grammatically the two are about equal, with Spanish perhaps a bit more difficult, owing to the fact that its verbs take personal endings instead of personal pronouns, and it uses the subjunctive mood more. On the other hand, French is far more interesting and more closely related to English. Also, there is undoubtedly a great deal of very important Spanish literature, but it has nothing like the depth and breadth of French literature. For elegance, grace and style, nothing beats French, which has been the language of European civilization for centuries.I think french is easier i am taking french and i dropped spanish in yr 9 so i have done both and i really think your better off with french.


What is harder spanish or french?

Answer: Spanish is easier in the beginning but French becomes easier once you pick up the pronounciation. Other things to keep in mind: Spanish has two verbs for 'to be' while French has just one; Spanish has two words for 'for' while French has just one; and Spanish has a preterite tense which takes a lot of practice and memorisation to master while French does not have a preterite tense.
