Quite frankly, it all depends on what languages you already speak and your opinion. If you speak one of the "Romance Languages"--French or Italian, for example (or, for that matter, Latin), then Spanish should be more familiar.

Unless you're going to Greece, there shouldn't be much reason to learn Greek besides personally wanting to. If you don't speak a Romance Language, then you could really choose whichever one you wanted.

As a native English speaker is French or Spanish easier to learn as a second language?

For a native English speaker, Spanish is generally considered easier to learn as a second language compared to French. This is because Spanish has simpler grammar rules, more regular pronunciation, and many cognates (words that are similar in both languages).

What is easier to learn Portuguese or spanish?

I think it'd be easier to learn Spanish but it'd more interesting to learn Portuguese. I want to learn stuff where it isn't the norm.If you are going to learn ONE language, you will find that Spanish is much more useful. It is also a bit easier to learn. However, if you want to learn BOTH, learn Portuguese first and then later learn Spanish. The good thing about Portuguese is that once you know it you can understand Spanish as well (not perfectly, but a good portion of it). This does not work in reverse, Spanish speakers can understand almost nothing of Portuguese.I am currently in Brazil learning Portuguese for the same reason: it is more out of the norm to know Portuguese than to know Spanish. I stand out and I like that. However, after learning Portuguese I know that it will be relatively easy for me to learn Spanish, so that will be my next goal.Portuguese is much more harder to understand depending on your origin. If you're american or english, I'm pretty sure Spanish is a lot easier, as HUNDREDS of english words originated from Spanish. On the other hand, if you're from eastern europe (Romanian, Ukrainian, etc.), Portuguese will be a walk in the park, since there's many alphabetical and phonetical similarities. Besides, phonologically and even in written terms, spanish is much more fluent and easy to grasp than portuguese anyway.

How do you learn spanish words?

Learn pronunciation of the Spanish alphabet. Spanish being phonetic, this will then make it easier than in English, French or German, to know how to pronounce the words (many of which are very similar, or identical, to their English equivalents, but pronounced differently).


Is English easier to learn than spanish?

English is no easier to learn than Spanish, or any other language of the Indo-European group that uses Latin letters, since for languages that use some alphabet other than the Latin one, you also have to go through learning a new alphabet. If you speak a lot of Germanic languages, English would be easier to learn than Spanish, but for someone who speaks more Romance languages, Spanish would be much easier to learn. It's all in what you already know language-wise as to whether or not you find a language difficult--besides, for English, you have to deal with far more vocabulary and a more complex system of grammar.
