No offence Mike but Spanish as a language is pretty much as easy as they get.
For me learning catalan is a lot harder. But surprisingly enough maria's family speak mostly spanish lingo than 100% catalan.
Sorry i dont understand you. Who Spanish is easy? Because my mind Spanish is very very difficult language.
To be fair I don't consider a language difficult until it starts using letters which don't look like letters i.e. Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Korean etc
