SubjectEven though Spanish is the second-largest language worldwide, spoken on every continent on the planet, there are places, however, when you can’t use Spanish to communicate with the locals.
So, what can you do if you are a native or Spanish language learner?
You can learn a new language, of course.
Now, you are probably asking yourself how hard it is to learn a new language. The scenario in your head is active already, thinking about the time you have to spend learning a new language, difficulties while studying, false friends, etc.
Not every language is difficult to learn.
That’s why we are going to help you to choose a language. In the following lines, you can find the 9 easiest languages to learn for Spanish speakers.
Not that you must choose only one of them to learn, no!
You can choose more. With Justlearn tutors, you can learn several at the same time!
And now, let’s dive in.
First of all, we can’t generally divide languages into easy and hard ones.
It depends on many things, such as:
Speaker’s native language
How close or similar is the target language to the speaker’s native
How complex pronunciation and grammar are
Learner’s overall experience with learning languages. For example, the person who already speaks three or four languages will learn a new one much easier than speaking only his native.
Having in mind all these facts, we’ve listed the easiest languages to learn for Spanish speakers.
Also, have in mind that no matter if you are a native speaker or Spanish learner, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will struggle to learn some of the hardest languages for Spanish. speakers
Along with Catalan, French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, the same language is Spanish, the Romance language family.
Portuguese is the official language in Portugal, Brazil, and many African countries, such as Angola, Mozambique, etc.
Portuguese and Spanish share the same language, family, and language group (West Iberian). They have similarities in pronunciation, too.
There are small differences, though. Compared to Portuguese, Spanish is smoother.
Let’s take a look at how some Portuguese and Spanish words and phrases are similar.
Spanish | Portuguese | English |
Hola | Olá | Hello |
Cómo estás? | Como vai? | How are you? |
Adiós | Adeus | Bye |
With other Romance languages, Italian is the descendant of Vulgar Latin.
This language speaks around 62 million people. It is an official language in Italy, Switzerland, Vatican City, San Marino, and status as a minor language in neighboring countries like Croatia, Albania, Greece, etc.
Like in Spanish, many words in Italian are written as they’re pronounced.
Italian has several more vowels than Spanish, but that can be only an advantage in learning.
With similar words, grammar, and pronunciation, you can learn Italian in no time and impress any native Italian.
In the following lines, take a glimpse at Spanish and phrases, and you will understand why it is one of the easiest languages to learn for Spanish speakers.
Spanish | Italian | English |
Gracias | Grazie | Thank you |
Me llamo | Mi chiamo | My name is |
Buenas noches | Buona notte | Good night |
The language of love and romance, French, is one more sibling language to Spanish. Only by native speakers, French takes 15th place of the most spoken languages globally, and the second most spoken in the European Union.
There are around 29 French-speaking countries in the world with French as the official language.
Compared to Spanish, which is considered one of the easiest languages to learn, French is a little more challenging because of its pronunciation. French is famous for its nasal vowels, but every Spanish speaker can master it with French tongue twisters.
Spanish | French | English |
Estoy bien | Je vais bien | I’m fine |
Soy de ... | Je suis de ... | I’m from ... |
No comprendo | Je ne comprends pas | I don't understand |
Romanian isn’t the hardest language to learn, but it can take the first place compared to other Romance languages.
Interestingly, Romanian can show you how Latin works since this language is very close when talking about grammar, for example. That’s why it is more similar to Italian than to other cousin languages.
The path of the Romanian language was pretty exciting. It is a part of the Romance languages, one more descendant of Vulgar Latin, and yet, on this language, Hungarian and Slavic languages influenced a lot.
That’s perhaps what makes this language so fascinating.
And, now, let’s take a peek at some common words between Romanian and Spanish.
Spanish | Romanian | English |
Buenos dias | Buna ziua | Good afternoon |
Buenos dias | Buna ziua | Good afternoon |
chocolate | ciocolată | chocolate |
No, this isn’t a post about Romance languages.
But, it is the fact that Romance languages are the easiest ones that Spanish speakers can easily learn.
Even though there are not as many speakers as the languages from the previous lines, Catalan is spoken in Andorra, eastern Spain- Catalonia, and in the Pyrenees in France.
Compared to the previous languages, Catalan is the easiest language Spanish speakers can learn, and you can see why in the following lines.
Spanish | Catalan | English |
Hola | Hola | Hello |
Perdón | Perdó | Sorry |
Adiós | Adéu | Bye |
It would be a pity if we didn’t mention one more language. As a matter of fact, this language is the easiest one for native Spanish to learn. We are talking about Galician.
Galician is spoken in Galicia, an autonomous part of northwestern Spanish. Today, there are about 3 million native speakers.
There is a little difference in pronunciation, and many Galician language learners used to say that if you already speak Spanish, then you know 80% of the Galician language, too.
However, don’t get confused that Galician is one of the Spanish dialects. It is a different language.
When it comes to the easiest languages to learn, to prove to you that we have a winner, take a glance at the following phrases.
Spanish | Galician | English |
Hola | Ola | Hello |
Buenos días | Bos días | Good morning/Good day |
Cómo estás? | Como estás? | How are you? |
If you’ve thought that you will see one more Romance language, you are wrong.
Even though Dutch isn’t the easiest language to learn in the world, Spanish speakers can learn it quite well.
What makes these two languages similar are speech sounds and phonetics.
For example, letters A and E are pronounced the same way.
Moreover, many Dutch students struggle to pronounce correctly the letter G. For the Spanish ones, that is a piece of cake because they pronounce it in Spanish similarly as in words ‘gente’ and ‘genial.’
Spanish | Dutch | English |
Hola | Hallo | Hello |
ojo | oog | eye |
escribir | schrijven | to write |
English is the world’s most spoken and learned language. English is a part of the Germanic language group, and even if we can’t claim that it is among the easiest to learn for Spanish speakers, many of them can learn it quickly.
The advantage of English podcasts, available learning materials, movies, songs, and so on. Wherever you turn, you can find something in English.
So, using those advantages, any speaker can learn English successfully.
And, there are many words and phrases English and Spanish use, like the following ones.
Spanish | English | Meaning in English |
Buena vista | Buena vista | Good view |
telenovela | telenovela | soap opera |
nada | nada | nothing |
In case you think that we’re joking, we aren’t.
Tagalog is on the list of the languages native Spanish can learn easily.
Tagalog is part of the Austronesian languages spoken in the Philippines.
Unlike the previous languages, Tagalog doesn’t have similar grammar or pronunciation as Spanish.
What makes it easy to learn is vocabulary. The Philippines were a Spanish colony until 1898 when after the Spanish-American War, the US took over them. That’s why many Spanish words can be found in today’s Tagalog.
Numbers are one of the things that are similar in both languages, so let’s take a look.
Spanish | Tagalog | English |
cuatro | kwatro | four |
cinco | singko | five |
ocho | otso | eight |
No matter which language you choose to learn, we’re sure that your path to fluency will be fun.
A big advantage of the time we live in is that everything is available and accessible, especially on the internet.
That way, you can try many different and fun ways to learn one of these languages, including learning with Justlearn tutors.
