Question

I already do French so if that makes it any easier-

Which of the following languages do you think is the easiest?

Russian

Japanese

Arabic

Latin

Ancient Greek

Polish

Romanian

Bulgarian

Czech

Dutch

Danish

Estonian

Finnish

hungarian

Swedish etc.

Answer 1

I found Latin very easy...very little that's irregular, and I already understood the basics of case declensions from German, and conjugations from both German and Spanish.  

Dutch seems like it would be easy, being fairly close to English in origin etc.,  Danish, as well.  And I am sort of learning Swedish simply because it's close to German and I've been watching something that's subtitled in Swedish....not finding it terribly hard, but I'm only reading, so...

And Romanian is very close to Latin, so not terribly far from French.

I have a friend who says Japanese is extremely regular, so, once you get the alphabet down, the language is easy.

I always thought Czech was slavic, but someone recently told me that it's close to German, so that might be easy,

I would think the hardest on your list would be Hungarian and Finnish.

Answer 2

Dutch is easy. Out of those Estonian Arabic and Finnish look the hardest.

Answer 3

Arabic coz its my language and i can talk and write english.

Answer 4

Whoever said Czech is like German is wrong.  Czech is a Slavic language that uses the Latin alphabet like Polish, Croatian and Slovak, due in part to the influence of the Catholic church.

Finno-Urgic languages, Finnish, Estonian, Hungarian are challenging for English speakers to learn, but a dedicated learning can master them, especially if you have a native to work with.

Because you are asking for an "easy" language and since you already have studied French, I would suggest another Romance language.  Unless you are familiar with case systems (used in German and Russian) I would stay away from Latin, as Latin also has a case system.

Answer 5

LATIN !!!  

Answer 6

Dutch because Dutch and English are very similar in pronunciations and spelling and many of the words are the same.
