Is spanish a language easy to learn for English speaker?
Sander   Thu Sep 01, 2005 3:44 pm GMT
Probably yeah... I've never heard otherwise.

Yes

Yes.

I wouldn't say that any language is easy to learn, although Spanish is NOT AS DIFFICULT as... let's say... Chinese, Dutch, German or French.

Yesish.

Easy relative to most other languages.
Uriel   Tue Sep 06, 2005 5:15 am GMT
You could kindly do away with some of those verb tenses, though. Excessive.

German or French>

French is NOT DIFFICULT specially for a hispanophone

I agree with Carlos (P)(e)(R)(u) that no language is easy to learn -- if by 'learn' you mean master. If you just mean learn a little, though, then Spanish is relatively easy compared with common alternatives in the United States and most other English-speaking countries.

You'll find the pronunciation easy compared with French, and though the many verb forms and irregularities aren't easy, at least you don't have to add several declensions for the nouns as you do in German. At an advanced level, though, there are many subtleties in Spanish (the apparent flexibility of its syntax leads to many misuses) which can't be fully learned from grammar books, and that are difficult to master.

=>Dutch is totally useless worldwide, so don't learn it <=

And if you still want to sound like a man, don't do French either.

Sander, c'est pas parce que y'en a qui essayent de te provoquer que tu dois te mettre à leur niveau.
Sander   Tue Sep 06, 2005 3:58 pm GMT
