Is Spanish really the simplest language to learn 

Spanish, Spanish Espaol, and Romance languages (Indo-European family) are spoken as first languages by approximately 360 million people worldwide. Mexico had the most speakers (more than 85 million) in the early twenty-first century, followed by Colombia (more than 40 million), Argentina (more than 35 million), the United States (more than 31 million), and Spain (more than 30 million). Spanish is the (or an) official language of 18 American countries (Argentina, Costa Rica, Chile, Bolivia, Colombia,, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela), as well as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and is spoken in Europe and Africa by Spain and Equatorial Guinea.

Spanish difficulty level solely depends on a learner 

A few personal factors such as knowledge of a second language ~  Knowing a second language makes it much easier to learn subsequent other languages. This is especially true if you have already mastered another Romance language, as much of the construction and many of the words are shared by this group of languages.

• If you are starting with Spanish right after knowledge of the English language, things could be a little difficult for you because this will be your first attempt to learn a new language. 
• You may, however, stand to benefit from a friendly Spanish-speaking community/neighbourhood in case you live nearby or have friends living there. Practising in person with others is far more beneficial than self-learning or learning online without a teacher. Being blessed to have Spanish speakers nearby allows you to put your Spanish skills to use more frequently and helps you practise spoken Spanish.
• Learning Spanish is far easier if you begin at a young age. Children learn new languages more easily because they have a greater number of connections (synapses) between brain cells (neurons) to pick up information and internalise it. They also gain to benefit from the developing language centre in the brain.
• If you’ve studied Spanish in school, you may already have a basic understanding of the language on which to build. Having a head start, no matter how small, can make the process go more smoothly.

Learning a new language is always rewarding, especially when the odds are stacked against you.

Sure, it might not be easy. But if a bit of a challenge stopped people from trying things, the Olympics would be very boring to watch. One caveat, though: You will not get far if you approach Spanish as a chore. Find a reason that inspires you to study. Before you begin working on it, you should also decide what level of fluency you want to achieve. If you just want to learn some basics for an upcoming trip, then your learning journey will be much easier than if you want to become completely fluent in the language. Whatever your reason is for studying, the journey will be well worth it.

Well, some aspects of Spanish are more difficult to learn than others, but you stand at a vantage point since you already know English.

Let’s go over some of the obstacles you might encounter along the way.

Few Reasons Why Spanish Is Difficult to Learn

Presence of numerous irregular verbs in Spanish. 

Irregular verbs will make learning Spanish more difficult; especially because many common verbs are irregular, and you will most likely use them in everyday conversations! As a result, mastering the most common irregular verbs becomes critical. Although not easy, a few repeat patterns will make your life much easier. 

Spanish is a gendered language.

Unlike in English, Spanish nouns have genders, that are assigned quite arbitrarily; in many cases, you are just expected to remember whether a word is masculine or feminine! Since the gender of a noun influences words around it, such as adjectives and articles, genders are important to study; and to achieve better learning, you could learn new nouns with their assigned gender, just as French words are learnt with their articles attached. Even though genders appear to be arbitrary, there are some rules that govern genders in Spanish. Over a course of time, you will begin to understand why certain words are assigned to specific genders throughout the language.

It can be difficult to master Spanish pronunciation.

While the majority of the letters in Spanish are the same as in English, Spanish pronunciation differs significantly from English; especially when it comes to the vowels, which have entirely different pronunciations than their English counterparts. Unlike English vowels, which have a variety of pronunciations, Spanish vowels are usually pronounced the same regardless of context. The letter e, for example, is pronounced with an “eh” sound, as in “met.” However, even for non-native speakers, nailing those sounds can be difficult. And yet peeking from another dimension of difficulty is the rolled rr sound!

It will take some practice, but you will eventually master it.

• Spanish and English language used the same Roman alphabet. Although Spanish has an additional letter and symbol to learn on top of the English alphabet, it has a lot more in common than not. In 2010, the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) determined that only the constitutes a separate letter of the Spanish alphabet, bringing the total to 27 letters. Aside from that, the specific sounds of the Spanish alphabet are extremely simple to learn, even simpler than English!
• On the contrary, with the exception of diphthongs (two vowels in a single syllable), Spanish vowels have only one sound and will always make that sound, regardless of where they are in a word. 
• Spanish and English have thousands of cognates to help you.By studying the cognates between English and Spanish, you can quickly add hundreds of new words to your vocabulary!
• Similar sentence syntax One of the first things you’ll notice in Spanish is that the adjective comes after the noun rather than before it, as it does in English.To make matters even better, the syntax in Spanish is far less strict.
• To keep things simple, both languages add -s or -es to the end of words to make them plural.
• While English has dozens of contractions and Spanish only has a few, they do exist!
• Learning Spanish is not as difficult as learning some other languages that do not use any capitalization or punctuation (some languages, such as Thai, do not even use spaces between words!).
• Learning to read and write in English and Spanish, uses the same basic processes such as phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, comprehension, writing mechanics! 

There are multiple ways to make the Spanish learning process easier, no matter how difficult you find the language. Here are a few pointers!

• Discover your learning style. Everybody has a unique learning style. Find yours before you begin for an extra learning boost. If you are a visual learner, for example, Spanish podcasts may not be the best way to learn.
• The key is to study smarter rather than harder.
• Set aside time to learn. It takes time to learn a new language. You will never advance in your studies unless you make time to learn. Plan to work on your Spanish goals on a regular basis, even if it is only for 15 minutes per day, to achieve them.
• Choose to use Spanish on a daily basis. In addition to making time for it, you should try to use Spanish in your daily life. This can be accomplished by narrating your activities in Spanish, labelling household items in Spanish, listening to Spanish music, reading the news in Spanish, or any other way you can think of to actively use Spanish on a daily basis.
• Practice is the best way to learn!
• Make use of the resources at your disposal. The resources available to you for studying Spanish are nearly limitless thanks to the internet. To get started, you can hire a teacher, use free online resources, or purchase a great textbook.
