How easy is it to learn spanish?
#1
I managed to get to grips with german in a year or so. not to the point where i'm completely fluent, but i can watch german films and understand them to the point where it's fairly comfortable

Spanish is supposedly a bit easier to learn + i'm pretty ok with french as i used to live  in france when i was a kid.

very easy

I dont know spanish but I learned basic words from just from playing in lobbies with south american guys

Like q onda comp quiero ayuda ven aqui player x es muy facil tu eres muy fuerte etc

Grammar is so simple and vocabulary is easy to pick, you could probably get to B2 in a few months if you tried

B2 is pretty advanced. I'm probably at a b2, if that, in German after a fkn year of mixed effort. 
Spanish just sounds so much better and there's so much music and media to learn from. German music is complete shit tbh

also sucks because every single german speaks english fluently, so a little bit harder to practice your german in many cases
I relentlessly bully shitposters, /pol/faggots and admin. NO EXCEPTIONS!

I'm also B2 in German, we have mandatory classes at school and I went for the Goethe exams after. It's probably one of the more difficult European languages, Spanish shouldn't take the same effort. And yes, mostly I used literature as practice material, don't find German acoustically enticing.

I think with Spanish you unlock a portal to a different world by knowing the language, same with Russian.

I was briefly studying it on my own 15 yrs ago when i was obsessed with la liga and can still easily form tenses

Vocabulary is either very memorable or stems from latin

And pronunciation is extremely easy

only pronounciation is easy, of course vocabulary too since you already speak English and some French

grammar is about as hard as French (imo quite hard tbh, maybe not as hard as Slav languages but comparable to German in difficulty), if you already speak French you should have a massive leg up

how, tbh? i found it extremely intuitive/easy

maybe because my first language is slavic, but spanish sound like a less perverse esperanto

The grammar systems of both languages are very similar. Conjugations are pretty damn hard in Spanish. At least it seemed to me when I studied it.

It’s because English is your native language. Unlike most (all?) other European languages, English has no genders for nouns and has simple conjugations that don’t change based on the subject noun. Not to mention there are a lot fewer conjugation forms in English than in Spanish. I studied Spanish and my experience is very similar to yours.

found them pretty easy, probably because my language is more complicated in that regard

What’s your native language? I guess it’s because Spanish just has more conjugations then. Like multiple past tenses for example.

The step from English to Spanish seems even greater. The plus side for me is that studying Spanish has made it easier to learn other European languages.
