What is the easiest language to learn?

The easiest languages to learn are whatever ones you learn as a child. It doesn't matter so much which one as it does when you learn it.

For a native English speaker, among the major languages : Afrikaans. Followed by all the Romance languages and most Germanic languages (except German and Icelandic).

For me, it's Spanish. When you look at it, that's usually how you pronounce it, way unlike French. Plus, when growing up in a Jewish European heritage household, it's nothing compared to Polish, Greek, Hebrew, and Russian.

I agree with Mark.Esperanto would be about the easiest and Ido is a bit easier but even more useless.Of the West European languages basic English is the easiest.Spanish may seem easy but it is grammatically rather difficult about as German but French is a bit easier that way.German spelling is even more phonetic than Spanish and is spoken more distinctly and they don't drop as many letters as French or Spanish.A little Spanish can be learned pretty soon but than it becomes more difficult.

i think every language is hard, except for the native language.

Probably in the easy section, with the other European languages. German, Spanish, Italian, French, Dutch and English all derive from Latin. German is actually in a special category between easy and medium because it should take 30 weeks or 750 hours to achieve proficiency.

Latin is the easiest SPOKEN language.

There are no exceptions to the rules and the sequence of words in your sentence doesn't make all that much difference due to the fact that the case (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative) will tell you what the word does in the sentence structure.

For a person who is fluent in English, Signed Exact English (a sign language) is easiest because you sign every word in the English sentence. If you don't know the sign for a word, you merely fingerspell it. While SEE is easiest for English speakers, American Sign Language (ASL) is used much more in the American Deaf Community.

With the sign languages, there are no pronunciation issues.

English

It depends what languages you already speak. Arabic, Urdu and Farsi share the same alphabet although they are of course different languages. But for a pashto speaker it's relatively easy to learn Farsi. Latin languages all have some similarities. So for Italians and Portuguese speakers it's easy to understand Spanish, for example. Some Indian languages have some similarities with just a few words being different, as with English and American although it may be harder to write when the scripts may be totally different. For native English speakers I would say generally Spanish is easiest as unlike French it is spoken as it is written, you don't have to use articles and the grammar is less complex than French. But it also depends on your experience, your motivation and how you learn.

Depends on how your brain works and what your native language is. For an English speaker, the easiest languages will probably be the following: French, spanish, dutch, norwegian, swedish, and other germanic/romance languages. For an arabic speaker, any semitic languages, for a turkish speaker: azerbaijani, turkmen, uzbek, mongolian, etc... for a finnish speaker: estonian, veps, etc... for a hungarian speaker: khanty, mansi, meadow mari, etc... Typically (this is definitely not always the case! ) people find languages that do not have noun cases and verb conjugations easier. So keeping this in mind, indonesian would be a good candidate for an "easy" language. It's not easy, but it qualifies based on the conditions given.

the easiest language to learn is your native language...

all other languages are hard to learn...

so, if english is our native language, then english is the easiest to learn...

The answer to this question depends on the native language that you are starting out with, and on how many languages you speak already. The more languages you know, the easier it gets to recognise certain patterns.
It also depends on what is meant by "learn to speak": just getting by when ordering the occasional coffee or rather attending university lectures? The idea of 'thresholds' may be useful here. I can only speak for Western languages, but I find that English and Italian have the lowest thresholds for a non-speaker to gain some purchase and express oneself on a basic level. After a few months of lessons you could go on holiday to London or Milan and feel like you can meaningfully interact with people.

english is the easiest language to learn.

The easiest to learn is the one you grew up hearing in the home. Contrary to what many here say about English being the easiest, that is only because they grew up with it. It is actually one of the most difficult to learn because of the high percentage of irregular words and homonyms. It is a combination of many different languages absorbed into one. Look at the alphabet and the many sounds per letter available in English and compare that to any of the Latin based romance languages as a quick example. How about simple words like "read" that can be pronounced as "reed", or "red" depending on the meaning desired.

English is the most easiest language to learn

3. Sustainability
There are multiple aspects which can be taken into consideration for the residential density and sustainability. The concepts provided by Cooper et al (2002) can be formulated for the promotion of a low density urban development. As the plan provides multiple concepts from modern sustainability principles, it can be considered optimum for future directions and guidelines. Intensification of the land use does not automatically mean that the developments of buildings are to be increased in a tremendous manner. Urban landscapes do comprise tall buildings, specifically accumulated around transport locations and proximal employment facilities (Gordon and Travers 2010, p. 55). Appropriately designed forms can provide benefits to the overall landscape, delivering choice to residents and providing effectual methods of increasing house numbers. According to the methods provided by Howard in the ‘Garden Cities of Tomorrow’, several sustainability principles may follow for the modern improvisations and capacities.
Howards’ idea had tremendous impacts on the layout of the early 20th century British suburban measurements. It was carried out as mediation for the urbanization issues of Inner London, specifically the East End where population density was presented with low social status, overcrowding, and poverty issues (Charmes 2010, p. 374). The idea was formulated on the satellite city model through which it was possible to accumulate the improvisations of the town and characteristics of the rural regions. His visions provided a framework comprising multiple communities, each one promptly accessible through public transport and individual locomotion along with the support of residential facilities and diversification. These urban regions were to be associated through multiple transportation systems. The application of these ideas, however, managed for the planned outlines of the suburban populations.
Taking on the theoretical formulation of the Garden City concept, the residential densification of London suburbs can be carried out in a significant manner. Planning policy of London needs to manage and support the growth and opportunities for citizens. With the reformations of density policies and in specificity the matric, the planning can have suitable mediation during the process. According to the explanations provided by Smith, Clayden, and Dunnett (2009, p. 187) there will always be some parts of London which have limitations and specific barriers but with the help of suitable advancements and structure, the conservation of heritage asset and sustainable consideration of the environment will be possible.
There is significance present in the literature of local place communities, cultural differentiation and green belts for the sustainability of densification (Holden and Norland 2005, p. 2166). It has been suggested with the help of different theoretical considerations that locality can be observed as a mediator or controlling factor which can be socially and physically altered to provide a constructive projection. This regulatory statement can also be expressed with the help of previous research explanations for suburbs that follow the guidelines of sustainability. There is a similar philosophy present which highlights high density neighborhood as a functional unit which also integrates as a social group (Holden and Norland 2005, p. 2166). These conceptualized structures of the design strategies of residential groups; sharing public space on different intervals is responsible for creating a socially sustainable environment. The process forms local functionalities for every population group, along with the local identified within walking distance.
As the theoretical framework of this discussion has elaborated, despite having different outcomes, different city concepts and policy illustrations provide information on the ideal compatibility (Holden and Norland 2005, p. 2166). Considering the significance of topics such as local autonomy, both in terms of socio-economic and environmental considerations, the significance of space is to maintain advanced and progressing environmental structure. This balances the community prospects with privacy within a group territory (Holden and Norland 2005, p. 2166). The elements of sustainability will involve the implementation of strategies that preserve natural resources as well. Therefore, the spatial neighborhood organization can be essential for the social dynamics. Local interactions provide a fundamental notion of development to economic networks so they can work in a corresponding manner. Environmental policies in this field are critical (Holden and Norland 2005, p. 2166). Advanced integrated solutions provide integrative solutions for the social exclusion and implications of natural resources to further support London’s economic activity.
4. Conclusion
The processes of urbanization and globalization have influenced the population of London in a particular manner. The literature review outcomes and information is designed in a way that it will address the issues in a corresponding manner. As these complexities are involved with the residential densification and sustainability, there are certain improvements to be applied. Multiple theoretical factors that have been mentioned can be evaluated through political mechanisms and procedures. In some areas, radical change is needed as marginal strategies and formulations will not deliver a substantial change.
The literature review provides a critical analysis of the gap between housing supply and demand as the themes of urbanization change. Taking into consideration a range of social and economic issues for London, there can be densification provided for suburbs that will approve residential developments. The opportunity for London is to make effectual use of its land to delivery better and additional homes which, as a result, provide better opportunities for the residents.

Its answer is English..

I think English.

Besides English which has become a lingua franca for being relatively easy to learn, it depends on your mother tongue. If someone can speak Spanish, they can learn Portuguese with much more ease than someone whose mother tongue is Russian.

English is not so easy either if you go for perfection...you can be better at grammar and writing than a native speaker but intonation will give you away.

English

Sanskrit is the easiest language and natural contender for global language . It was spoken / is spoken in Europe , Russia , India , Indonesia & Indian sub-continent . It is hard to manipulate this language and it is not fake language like Hindi or English which is developed by politicians in last 2 centuries . Sanskrit is most spoken language in Space-Time of our earth . English is most spoken language in Space-Time in modern era / electronic era .

As an International language English is the easiest language to learn.

guese speakers it's easy to understand Spanish, for example. Some Indian languages have some simil

Esperanto and Afrikaans

From the perspective of a French native speaker, it's English.

Technically it would be the language and the dialect(s) of it you grow up learning, because no matter how "difficult" people say it is, you'll attain native proficiency if you grow up learning it. Even if you suck at grammar and whatnot, it's what you'll be best at.

If your native language is English, then Esperanto, Afrikaans, Frisian, Norwegian, German, Dutch, Spanish (in that order).
Personally, I had English as my mother tongue and French and Latin as compulsory languages in high school. I taught myself German and found it far, far, far easier than French. Esperanto I learned in an afternoon. I went on to learn Spanish and found my Latin a great help, but my French only a source of confusion. However I found with Latin and French I could guess-read Italian. I went on to teach myself Romanian and Norwegian (both of which I found easy because I already knew Latin and German. Then I studied Portuguese and, with the opportunity to live and work in Brazil, have it now as my second language, having attained almost native fluency. I have also studied Russian (far less difficult than its reputation would suggest) and Dutch (difficult because of its pronunciation and the refusal of Dutch people (but not Flemings) to allow a foreigner to waste their time practicing Dutch when they have near perfect English themselves

The one that your parents speak.

English. Essentially two cases, a simple sentence build and grammar, much vocabulary loaned from other languages and language-families.

But probably this was not what you had asked for. Try Spanish then. Could be a bit tricky in the beginning due to the different sentence build-up, but it's easy to get over with. Otherweise Danish; grammar is more similar, but you might have problems with the 4 cases.

Swahili

I`M chinese,learning english now.i can also speak a little japanese,both are not fluent. but if somebody have question about chinese or china.I will happy to answer it with my clumsy english.

If you were born in the US, then English is the easiest language. I heard Spanish is easy also. If you play My Japanese Coach for the Nintendo DS then that language is also easy and fun to learn.

Spanish probably. The sentence structure is almost like English and you just have to memorize some conjugations

It depends on what languages you know--- for example spanish is easy because some things are quite similar to english. French is easy for spanish-speakers because there are many similar words.
But to me, english is the easiest because it's quite similar to many languages.

I think English will be the easiest to learn!

Finnish is a easy language

for English speakers Norwegian and Spanish

For Europeans, Spanish seems to be the consensus. For one thing, Spanish words are pronounced like they are spelled. And the grammar is rather straight forward.
