7 Easiest Language To Learn For English Speakers 

Spanish -  As English speakers, we can be thankful that Spanish pronunciations are one of the easiest to learn. Overall, Spanish has a shallow orthographic depth – meaning that most words are written as pronounced. This means that reading and writing in Spanish is a straightforward task. 

Italian -  Like Spanish, many of the words in Italian are written as pronounced. Moreover, the Italian sentence structure is highly rhythmic, with most words ending in vowels. This adds a musicality to the spoken language which makes it fairly simple to understand, and a spunky language to use. 

French -  It is also easy for English speakers to understand a lot of French written words, because of their similarity to English. Some are written exactly the same way, like information, table, attention and comfortable.  

Portuguese -  With the Brazilian economy ranking 6th in the world, Portuguese has become a powerful language to learn. One great element of the language is that interrogatives are fairly easy, expressed by intonation alone (“You Like This?”) If you can say it in Portuguese, you can ask it. 

German -  For many English speakers, German is a difficult language to pick up. Its long words, four noun case endings, and rough pronunciation gives your tongue quite the workout each time you speak. On the other hand, German can be a fun language to learn and the grammar's considered to be quite logical, with many overlapping words in English. 

Hindi -  Despite first glance, there are many familiar words in English which are either Hindi or of Hindi origin. Vice versa, Hindi also uses lots of English words. 

Mandarin -  While language learners won't struggle as much on the grammar, mastering the tones can be very difficult. Mandarin is a tonal language, which means the pitch or intonation in which a sound is spoken affects its meaning. For example, tang with a high tone means soup, but tang with a rising tone means sugar.
