Depends on what qualifies it as difficult, but in my opinion, English is the easiest to learn. I say this as it has barely any variety of grammatical structures (Comparatively to other languages), quite an easy script and can be pronounced in most ways without losing its understanding. Also, with experience, most Asian people learn English easier then English people learn Asian languages. I think it is also dependent on you having an affinity of languages. Hope this helps.

(Personal comment: English script is not easy! English and French are the two most hopelessly confusing spelling systems in the world!)

In addition, it depends on what your mother tongue is. For a Scandinavian, another Scandinavian language is the easiest. For a German, probably Dutch or Swiss German. For a Brit, probably Afrikaans. For a Hindi speaker, I would guess Urdu. For a Russian, one of the other Slavic languages.

I would think that for anyone, Esperanto is one of the easiest languages to learn, because it has no exceptions to its rules, and the rules are fairly logical. True, it's based mainly on European languages, so would be harder for an Asian than for me (a Swede), but at least it's perfectly regular!
