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

Spanish is most definitely easier for a typical English speaker to learn. Grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation are all much simpler than French.

On a side note, I decided to attempt to take up Italian, and even bought the expensive Rosetta Stone software.  I regret it.  Italian is a great language.  But I have enough trouble learning languages as it is, and Italians sound system is brutal.

Rosetta Stone is crap. A waste of money. They won't even allow you sell it on ebay when you realize you spent hundreds of dollars on crap.

I actually think its pretty good.  I've learned as Italian in probably a cumulative 1 hour I have put into it than I learned German in three years of schooling.  I have also notices that there is a difference in learning, I think of the Italian words as just words, where as if I ever have to do German, I have to translate in my brain.  In otherwords, I can just think in Italian, even if I don't know that much right now.

Well perhaps I just prefer more traditional comprehensive and methodical language study. I found Rosetta Stone to be little more than extremely-overpriced glorified flashcards.
