Learning a Language is difficult at the best times, even for the most experienced linguist. The two most important factors to judge the difficulty of a Language is your native Language and the age at which you start learning the new one.
The native language element is very important because someone who is a native Spanish speaker will find it very easy to learn Italian or French, why? Because the three are all extremely similar, they're all Latin based and they have the same spelling and grammar nuances.
On the same note, if you were a native Spanish speaker and you were looking to learning Italian or French but you were 80 years old, then you might find it a lot more difficult, when compared to learning at the age of 20. It's been statistically proven that the further down the line you get, the harder it becomes to learn a new language, no matter how similar the new language is to your native language.
So if you're looking to learn an easy language then don't wait till there is white hair on your head. Normally the easiest language to learn for any native speaker, young or old, is a language that is extremely similar to their native one.
For instance, west Europeans will find other west European languages easy to learn. Russians in Eastern Europe will find the Lithuanian or Estonian language easier to learn, when compared to say French or Spanish. However there are some exceptions, such as the English language which is like no other language so it's difficult to find a similar language to learn next.
However there is a clear language out there that is easiest language to learn for any native English speaker. And that language is, drum roll please, the Spanish language. Unlike French, it's a logical language to learn from afresh and unlike, say, the Italian language, it doesn't have a colossal vocabulary that you have to learn.
Spanish is a brilliant language to learn as well. It's fantastic if you live in a community where there are native Spanish speaking people, you can communicate better and you may even make a few friends along the way.
Also, if you learn Spanish it will massively improve your travels, there are Spanish people everywhere and in a Spanish speaking country if you can speak Spanish as well, you'll have a great time. Seeing the culture from the inside and you'll have a totally unique experience.
