Which language is easier for the typical English speaker to learn?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

French. I took some in high school... And while I can't speak it and probably couldn't understand most spoken French language, I can still read a lot of it just because it's similar enough to English.

Oh, that's not so simple, and i can tell, a lot of words are similar in appearance but have actual differences in the meaning, what we call false-friend here. Why the hell you English speakers decided to twist all these words?! Along with the fact that you didn't decide to chose our universal language...

Damn, when i think to the fact that most websites around the world have at least a display in English, and that some people just need to be born in an English speaking country to have an access to it, I'm jealous...

Though, yes, a lot of things are similar in the English and French vocabulary, and along with the fact that we use to live with the idea that our language is a universal stuff, plus the fact that English grammar seems to be incredibly easy compared to ours, all of this make us very lazy to learn your language. That's why English is so massacred here, the highest level of this being that English terms are very very trendy here, so in the end it gives a kind of wild mix of both languages spoken by the youth, a new language is on!

Oh, and, to English speakers who think they pronounce French correctly. That may be true, and congrats then, but have you already had the feedback of a French??

No, because, in terms of pronunciation our languages are really different, and I've rarely heard Anglophones, and especially Americans, pronouncing it correctly.

When you think that pronunciation is already different to the hell between France and Québec...

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

and France's French is becoming more and more like English every day.

Well, as I said in an other post here, it's not exactly becoming like English, but rather a kind of weird mix of both, in which both syntax, both vocabulary, both ways to make neologism would tend to mix themselves. Well, as I said it is mainly by youngs, 20/30 a bit, and especially those under 20.

As I tend to think for a long time now, English by having invaded the world would certainly create a lot of new dialects around the world which would be the results of the mother languages of people and of English, the mechanism that happened with the Latin then.

Though, meanwhile, i tend to think a global language can rise, which would be mainly based on English but with some global adding modifications spontaneously coming in, and this transported by the new media like satellite TV, internet, so on... Not sure if both the new dialects and the global language can exist side by side on the long term or if the formers will become the predecessors of the final only latter, which already has a name: Globish.

Anyways, i find it pretty interesting...

again, also true of Spanish

Oh, Spanish is spoken is so much countries. Do they all follow the same evolution? Would comfort my theory then...
