Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is?
Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 6 hours agol am German and I had the same impression. English was silly easy to learn (I may still have a slightly harsh pronunciatian, though).
No gender-dependent conjugations and the grammatical exceptions are sparse (mainly a few special cases around the tenses).
But learning French, another dual-gendered latin language: total nightmare.
So my surprise that Spanish is supposed to be easier to learn than the already quite easy English language…

Another problem with French (that Italian and Spanish pretty much don’t have) is the pronunciation. They don’t have a 1-to-1 relation between letters and sounds.
But that’s also a problem with English.
