For a neutral language, it sounds kinda spanish.

funny because me being spanish (and of course talking spanish), when I hear it, it sounds portugese...hmmm I wonder what would sound to smn from portugal

Clearly, we need to ask them.
I hope they don't say English though. That conundrum would kill me.

English is easy because:

1. It has pretty simple grammar (easy - easier - the easiest and so on).
2. It's adjectives don't change when you talk about a male or female. Although, you can't say a woman is handsome.
3. Doesn't have a lot of irregular verbs or nouns.
4. Verbs change form only in 3rd person. In Spanish, German, Polish and probably more, each person has it's own change.

Yeah, because that changing the -o to an -a for the feminine form of adjective was so intense back in 7th grade Spanish. Conjugating verbs is pretty basic too, even when you get into a new set of endings. It's just like "Ok, here are 6 more for (blank)"

And aren't there tons of exceptions to the rules in English that you just have to memorize? English has quite a few anomalies that make it somewhat less accessible than other languages. It's definitely not the hardest, and might be somewhat easy to learn to speak poorly, but a lot harder to speak well.

Seriously, Spanish isn't that hard at all.

You should check out Polish grammar, because I was talking about our grammar and it's sick idea of changing more than -o to -a, like in Spanish. For example, you can say "wyszedłem" (I left/I exited). But you can't say "wyszłem", because girls say "wyszłam" (-am to -em). And you cant say "wyszedłam". Although maaaany Polish kids make those mistakes. And it shakes my blood up.

Or how some languages have few grammatical cases (German 4, Polish 7) and some languages, like English, don't change their words, only add others to make 'em. And then again there is Finnish with 15 cases and Tsez with 126 cases. Now that's a hard language...

Also in English, you don't have something like "ten chłopak" (this boy) "ta dziewczynka" (this girl). Yeah, thing everyone I know hates in German and a bit in Spanish. Which word has der, which has die? Which is "el" and which is "la"? Which is plural and which is singular? Polish has it a bit easy in case of feminine nouns (a lot of end with -a), but what if you can have either mascular or neutral? That was giving me nightmares when I was studying German... Because both languages have 3 genders and they often weren't the same in same words, it's kinda hard.

I'm hundred percent positive that English doesn't have as many problems as those languages. Heck, I think I've read that current Pope tried to learn Polish (he is able to speak few languages already), but it was much harder than English, German, or French.

But hey, the more languages you know, the easier it's to learn new ones.

Okay. Although this may sound like a 'good' idea. We as people, are on the whole too lazy to bother learning it.

English is actually the most complicated language on the planet. Maybe not the hardest, but it's the most complicated. The sheer number of native english speakers who can't use it correctly is astounding. It's got more grammatical redundancies, extraneous words and odd structural requirements than any other.

I think the easiest language I've learnt so far has to be russian. Hmmm, maybe I should say haven't failed to learn. Once you get used to the lack of pronouns, and the 32 letters, it's great. Sounds freaking awesome when ya speak it too.
