Some might be even easy for you to learn. The million-dollar question is: which is the easiest language to learn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is\u2026 it depends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest language for me may not be the easiest language for you. Why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we\u2019re going to look at what makes a language easy to learn for you, and we will give you some suggestions to get you started. By the time we\u2019re done, you will be ready to pick your next language challenge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What makes a language easy to learn?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we go into detail, I want you to understand that there is no language that is inherently harder than others. We know this because children all over the world pick them up just as easily, and there are no significant differences in terms of language acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That being said, language acquisition doesn\u2019t work the same way when you\u2019re learning a language as an adult, and there are several factors that will affect <em>your <\/em>ability to learn a new language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/IjFkxIk2OqLXu-slRN5vKNE-wbEugwRexjXrf2Au2d1pfX1VEJY2f-i8-HV4jUf8GQAK-Umo2wkeEFtjGMAwFjVSmReDpZrC5b3R9NxhJ-VhUJ_VTtC3T44o5NwoGq4mE9BFhOE7\" alt=\"easiest language to learn\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Your native language<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many languages are related. The more related they are, the more they will have in common. Similar grammar, similar vocabulary, similar syntax, similar pronunciation\u2026 it all helps. So if your native language is English, for example, it will be easier to learn a language with Germanic or Latin roots, since English has both.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It won\u2019t all be a match, and maybe the grammar is similar but the pronunciation is not, but in general, the more closely-related your target language is to your native one, the easier it will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grammar and word structure<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English has a SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) structure, but not all languages are like this. You are used to saying \u201cJohn eats an apple\u201d, but a Japanese person is used to saying \u201cJohn an apple eats\u201d because Japanese has a SOV structure. There are six possible combinations, but most European languages follow the SVO structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend that you also look at how many verb tenses the language has, and things like articles, noun genders, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/zZnWbXdoEVogyB7Yt_3aAi_8AANchgCLU6ReJoyzdbIdyhFjx6rLJQdAuVhcHQoqrPqHWg2brmLqyJVsw8P1o_31jbP5ButcWSouoWK0jKrQyIQdO68THHTpfehZP6BEkOi7Yb-B\" alt=\"\" width=\"809\" height=\"470\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> <strong>Sound system<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learning new sounds isn\u2019t always easy, and can be a big obstacle when learning to speak a new language. Some languages don\u2019t have necessarily tricky sounds, but pronunciation rules can be very confusing and it can be hard to know what sound you have to make, even if you know how to make the sound in itself. If in doubt, head to Youtube and google some samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vocabulary<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All languages have been influenced by other languages. When your native language and your target language have similar roots, you will find many similar words, which will make it easy for you to understand new words and improvise when you don\u2019t know a word. Spanish is a language that originates from Latin, just like French, Italian or Portuguese, and when you speak one of them, you instantly have a headstart with the rest of the family. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lexical_similarity\">This chart<\/a> compares the lexical similarity of some languages with English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Writing system<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if the sounds are easy, a different writing system is always an extra challenge. Japanese is very easy to pronounce, but writing Japanese is a whole different matter. Languages like Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Hindi, Arabic and Russian all require you to learn a new writing system, so have that in mind. Learning a new writing system can be a lot of fun, but it certainly doesn\u2019t make the language easy, which is what we\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/AVwRkSL9j2q17gaF1SzIVhT8lztFJukmSbU7dl45K6GIt02jBkIfVpAsJSvvpSMhM77O3avBV96TZyoe_cRdLGSrFQCY8Jc-faywLVoiM5llCIDlSiD-gQ2fEgcHCz2mfD9By_eP\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"518\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Your other languages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you already speak another language, you have a big advantage. The more languages you know, the more similarities you will find when learning a new one. If you have learned those languages as an adult, you will also have a deeper insight into the workings of language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you learn your native language as a child, you basically just absorb it and start speaking without giving it much thought. You develop a natural sense for the language, and you never had to study any grammar to know how to make a sentence, nor had the need to memorize vocabulary in order to remember it. But it doesn\u2019t work like that when you\u2019re older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we learn a new language as adults (or teenagers), we don\u2019t have that intuition for how it works and most people need to understand the formal structure of the language to be able to form sentences with it. Let\u2019s be honest, some had never heard the term \u201csubordinate clause\u201d or even the word \u201cadverb\u201d before beginning to study a second language.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these concepts can be confusing in the beginning, so if you\u2019re already acquainted with them it will be easier to understand how your target language works and a sentence like \u201cyou have to use the subjunctive when the verb is in a subordinate clause\u201d won\u2019t sound like Chinese to you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Your motivation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people underestimate this one since it\u2019s not something you can study or categorize, but without it, you can forget about learning a new language successfully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right motivation can make you achieve anything. You can be confronted with a theoretically easy language and a theoretically difficult one, but if you have no motivation for the first one and plenty for the second, I can assure you that the \u201chard\u201d language will be easier for you, and you will enjoy learning it much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s also why getting a boyfriend or a girlfriend that is a native speaker of your target language produces such amazing results. Love is an extremely powerful motivation, and so can be other things. So before you choose a language to learn, ask yourself: What is my motivation? What will give me the drive to put in the effort to learn this language and make it fun for me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t have a specific motivation, talking to native speakers is always a great incentive. With <a href=\"https:\/\/swaplanguage.com\/\">Swap Language<\/a> you can find native speakers to talk to in your city. Being able to use what you\u2019ve learned with real people feels great, so don\u2019t underestimate what that can do for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Your access to the target language<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be highly motivated to learn that Polynesian language that your grandfather learned during his travels, but let\u2019s face it, unless you move there, you might as well say goodbye to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is indisputable that practice is essential when learning a language. You <em>need <\/em>to be exposed to it some way or another. Be it books, youtube videos, friends, native speakers, music songs or whatever you\u2019re into, you need <em>something<\/em>. The Internet is an almost bottomless pit of resources, but the smaller and more remote the language, the harder it will be to find relevant resources to help you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/R08xPAI0ZSH6L-Zf5R2PF1bqP_yM3hchggs6KyN3wCkWJkb6RMcqH0dtpWoE-jNIYTStH5TT7EVhn75ysCpjIV1Zn8ywBZsTA05aD0JHt94UWGOxBIdn-wx-IjgmHAWiCZkD-ntw\" alt=\"easiest language to learn\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that the opposite is also true. The bigger the language, the more you will find. Learning a language like English or Spanish nowadays is easy, because there is so much out there. No matter where you are in the world, chances are you can find a native English or Spanish speaker nearby.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So be realistic. Do you have access to enough resources? Will you have a chance to find native speakers to practice with?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our connected world, it shouldn\u2019t be too hard, unless the language you want to learn is very remote. But hey, don\u2019t be too picky. Remember that we\u2019re going for the easiest language to learn here, right? Do a quick Google search and you\u2019ll get a pretty good idea of what\u2019s out there. And if you\u2019re ready for some real-life practice, don\u2019t forget to check if there are any native speakers near you on <a href=\"https:\/\/swaplanguage.com\/\">Swap Language<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Your strengths as a language learner<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of us like grammar, some of us hate it. You may be great at memorizing vocabulary or maybe you can jump into a conversation without being intimidated by the natives. Whatever it is, exploit it, and avoid the parts that give you nightmares. If grammar is not your thing and you absolutely hate the idea of verb conjugations, then stay well away from Spanish or French. If you love speaking, go for a language that has a similar system of sounds, so you can start talking as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The easiest languages to learn for English speakers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we have established what makes a language easy to learn, let\u2019s get to what you are actually here for: which is the easiest language in the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no universal answer to this question, but we have compiled a list of languages that should be easy if English is your native language. If English is not your native language, we recommend you to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.busuu.com\/easiest-language-to-learn\/#quiz\">this test<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/ZncMpuO6tDLxt84Mlui11v6KZImI5qyKiFRPFKYtXtb7Z4K7WhohBg_15wq8r89z9nb1XEFlgtnSVTyfl8cQEMJ4EBZtwNQggZgw1ofYAnGCpMm9a4i5UZY64s8vkgJ2Hx2qtdoc\" alt=\"Easiest language to learn\" width=\"960\" height=\"561\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English is one of the most spoken languages in the world and has become pretty much<em> the <\/em>language for international communication. That doesn\u2019t mean that there is no need for English speakers to learn other languages. In fact, we very much recommend you to learn a second language. How about these?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><strong>1. Spanish<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grammar: fairly easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking: very easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing: very easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spanish is the 4th language with most speakers in the world, and the second language in terms of native speakers. This means that resources are readily available and your chance to find native speakers to practice is high. If that wasn\u2019t enough, Spanish is famous for it\u2019s simple phonetic system, so starting to speak and write won\u2019t be too challenging. Thanks to its Latin roots, Spanish shares a lot of words with English, so you will find many words that are familiar to the ones you already know. Yes, they do conjugate verbs like French and Italian, but nobody expects you to master it from the start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Dutch<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grammar: fairly easy\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking: fairly easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing: fairly easy<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you were to ask which is the most similar language to English, the answer would be Dutch. You may need to get used to its pronunciation and spelling, but once you\u2019ve got the basics down, you\u2019ll make progress very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Italian<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grammar: fairly easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking: very easy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing: fairly easy<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A close cousin to Spanish, Italian and Spanish are quite similar. Spelling is a bit trickier, but still very manageable, and so is the pronunciation. And hey, what better excuse than studying Italian to treat yourself with a trip to Italy and enjoy some delicious food while practicing the language with the locals?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/WpnPMG8Fddfrpu0uBoXuXg3NpFfZIlx-UGBlZTshNyZeR_PVs7Y4b-lNGv0NskfKBWMEuQPJwLy3gr7xO3jt3F0dZnUiVwqfgumM29tumQhO5xeKRSuVUwaeEhr9RY-ic1fEXanC\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. French<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grammar: Slightly challenging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking: Slightly challenging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing: Fairly easy<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nice thing about French is how many French words are already part of the English language. It is estimated that French has influenced up to one-third of the modern English language. Sure, they don\u2019t necessarily pronounce words the same way, but it still helps. Pronouncing French can be slightly challenging, but you won\u2019t let that stop you from learning the language of love, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. German<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grammar: Fairly challenging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking: Fairly challenging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spelling: Challenging<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t get us wrong, German is still easier than most languages for English speakers, but you will still have to get used to its longer words and grammar. The way German combines sounds in words can be a challenge at first, but luckily German is considered a very logical language, so once you learn the rules you will feel a lot more confident. Just be careful of exceptions!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/eO2TPhfb2miFKQP83_aI3dQNESRtyjsVZU_MusHuGylULILLciF4byD1ffgEsc_FxbMW1mYECOt6lcl9a38MWJAvaFqr2fSR81pe39_bdVNj-04mIHegBrDc1oKN2af7WaOBjKgu\" alt=\"easiest language to learn\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Top 10 Easy Languages for Native English speakers, According to Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States there\u2019s a diplomatic training agency called The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) that has made it a topic of their research to find out which languages are easy to learn so they can design their courses. They have different categories, based on language difficulty and how long it will take to learn the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/documents\/organization\/247092.pdf\">According to the FSI<\/a>, the easiest languages to learn are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Afrikaans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Danish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dutch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>French<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Italian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Norwegian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portuguese<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Romanian<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spanish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swedish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bonus Question: Is English One of the Easiest Languages to Learn?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-blZZobgSDiAhQe9x--k53rGBxoZQODgfi4E_uSgDQaJO0EzUXisZOu4g0z5X54Q8AbC61sN7V2gehF7_HfTn91EC2bGXwMojkOqVRAtgjxD3QSc7OqPCqBRSW0_xRZ6YVmxnIM6\" alt=\"easiest language to learn\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English is everywhere and is the <em>de facto<\/em> lingua franca of the world. It must be the easiest language, right? Yes and no. From a linguistic point of view, English is certainly not the simplest language, although it\u2019s not particularly challenging. What makes English easy is that it\u2019s everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you have never studied English in your life, it is very likely that you have been exposed to thousands of English words in your daily life. English learning resources are pretty much endless, and if you don\u2019t study English in this day and time it is because you don\u2019t want to, not because you can\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The internet is full of resources for learning English. And we\u2019re not just talking actual study resources. Youtube, Wikipedia, Twitter, Netflix and Reddit, to name a few, offer plenty of opportunities to practice and get lots of exposure to English. You just can\u2019t avoid it, and this means a lot when you\u2019re learning a new language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choosing The Right Language For You<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/Ctqk943gxYjKCV3RIJZm7y9jRDEwoc2mJQN3yhLlEARM5QYGg-wRhej_ukJ_0-FL0USyHjImUYQZnwGk8qkWvesJOCRFvpTKxl48Uff86KJ0vU_gvuITZ652kMI_gQsmtylFl1k4\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By this point, you know that there is no absolute answer to the question \u201cWhat is the easiest language\u201d.

You got a few language suggestions that will probably be easier than other languages, but remember the importance of motivation in the whole thing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest impact on your language-learning success isn\u2019t how easy or hard the <em>language <\/em>is, it\u2019s about how easy or hard the <em>studying <\/em>is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So choose a language you\u2019re actually interested in. Choose a language you will feel like studying so that finding the time doesn\u2019t become a problem. And do yourself a favor and find some native speakers to practice with.
