What's of these two languages is easier to learn?

Question

I'm 15 years old. I can speak fluent English and Spanish. I'd like to learn Japanese and/or German so which is easier? and if any of you have a website where you can learn that'd be awesome.

Answer 1

German is easier

Answer 2

I see German is much easier

Answer 3

German is easier because English is a Germanic language.

Japanese is really, really hard and would involve you learning a new writing system (I've been learning for 3 years and I only have hiragana, katakana, and about 200-400 kanji memorized) and a totally different sentence structure.

As for sites... http://www.mangolanguages.com/ Haven't tried the German lessons, but the Japanese ones are good. Almost like using flash cards or something.

Answer 4

German would be easier, because it uses the same alphabet and the grammar is close to English. English evolved from German and has many similar words.

Japanese was from a different root and has a different alphabet and grammar system

Answer 5

German is easyer!

Answer 6

YES to GERMAN. Japanese is hard and not alot of people can learn it as a second or third language without tring. Are you going to work to learn it or do you just think it's a walk in the park; easy N' simple.

Really it depends on the person N' the person's known languages(native langauge)

Answer 7

German, because if you took Japanese, then you'd have to learn a whole new alphabet and writing, but German is pretty similar and they only have a few other letters

Answer 8

german is easier, but i would definitely prefer japanese

Answer 9

The German vowels (a,e,i,o,u) sounds exactly as the Spanish vowels, and the alphabet has many letters in English pronounciation. You'll learn faster since you already know both languages.
