From what I've heard, all else being equal it's probably Indonesian. Arleksovitch is right of course that if a language is closely related to your language it will be far easier than other languages, which is why English-speakers have such a relatively easy time with Spanish, French, and Danish. (Spanish speakers with Portuguese or Russians with Ukrainian have it even easier.)

However the State Department considers Indonesian the easiest language (at least the easiest major language) with no relation to English for English speakers to learn, because of the very simple phonology and grammar. In fact it's almost as easy for an English-speaker to learn as German—a language closely related to English but with a complex and highly irregular grammar.

I suspect that there are some creoles, with an even simpler phonology and grammar than English which might be even easier, but there aren't too many people who would bother to learn Bislama, for example.

The easiest language to learn and speak is" mother tongue" of course. Any other languages are harder rhan this and it will take much more time to be able to communicate natives.:P

well I think the answer to the question depends on your native language.Spanish speaking people are more likely to learn and master portuguese faster than any other person because their language and portuguese are tightly connected and there are a lot of similarities between them.French speaking people should not have great trouble learning Italian as the vovabularies in some cases are alike.to sum it up I would just say that the easiness of a language depends on the connexion it has with your native's.

Well...I think that every language is easy to learn if we are interested in it

Of course our own native language is the easiest one but I think it's up to ourselves. I mean, the childredn learn languages very easily. They don't say this language is easy to learn and that isn't!. If we open our mine learning languages without any pressure to do it, then any languages can be the easiest language. I've learned english for over than 15 years from school but still difficult to speak. I believe if we can live with the language, which we are willing to learn, more than our own language then it will be easier to learn.

I can at least say you that Dutch is very difficult. It makes more exeptions than rules and the pronunciation totally sucks fore people who aren't born with it...
so, I too, would say english is most easy

I want to learn Spanish, but it shows so difficult to pronounce!! As this language is always spoken so fast, I can't hear an exact word through a sentence. How to take a first effective step into Spanish?

If you speak English, it would be easier to learn a 2nd language. Arabic, Greek and Hebrew are quite difficult but with a big effort and constant re vision will surely help to succeed in every language.

I have to say, I DON'T think English is an easy language to learn. I have been teaching it as a second language for over a year now (which is not that long) but if you native speakers remember back to trying to learn grammatical rules, the language frequently breaks its own rules. Spelling is a mess, which means reading is difficult, speakers from all kinds of different cultures have trouble pronouncing our "R" sound.
It might be pretty easy to learn these days just because it is so wide spread that many people pick up on it without even trying... but if I had to guess, I'd say that people who have truly never been exposed to it would find it very difficult.
Unfortunately, the fact that it has borrowed from so many different languages can be a blessing and a curse.

English is really easy as a language, only a bit tricky in the pronuncietion but other than than is child's work. and then there is Greek but i guess it's easy to me because it's my native language...
Date added: 27.12.2010, 12:59
English are difficult!I vote Italian as the easiest language,and Greek as the most difficult european language!
Date added: 27.11.2010, 07:23
I thought that English would be difficult to learn, because many of the words do not form a set pattern! Spanish has a more definite pattern - if only I could pronounce some of the long words!!
Date added: 22.11.2010, 14:27
I think Spanish is easier,I'm Spanish.I don't know a lot lenguagues but for me English is dificult for talk.It have very diferent sounds.French,Italian and Portugues maybe is easier for me I can understand many words.But I think the most dificult for learn can be Arabic and Chinesse.
Date added: 21.11.2010, 05:52
Yeah I think English too. Its my native but it we also use alot of words from other languages in our everyday talk. Like in New Zealand we also use Maori words like 'Kia Ora'(hello) all the time.
Date added: 15.11.2010, 11:42
I'd say either English or Italian. I can understand most of the language never having studied it, how hard can it be? Or maybe it's a cultural thing, because I'm from Europe where Latin has influenced most of the languages.

No, actually Italian has lots of complicated verbs, pronouns and so on, just like French. English is way simpler in that aspect.

I think relies heavily on linguistic group which originated your language. If you speak a language derived from Latin, like Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, you will have ease of learning another language derived from Latin. f you speak a Germanic language group, such as English, German, Dutch, you will find it easier to learn one of these languages. english is more easier today because is the language of the midia, but in the past this situation ocurred with latim and french. How to say "MILLIE" "depends on your native language".

I guess it depends cause they say if you know how to speak Portuguese or French then you can learn any language :/

But still I guess if you speak Spanish maybe Italian and Portuguese are way easier :)
