<p>Spanish is either hard to pronounce or easy to pronounce; it’s fairly easy for me because I grew up with parents who spoke 3 languages each and were always code-switching. None of those languages was Spanish (actually: English/French/Swedish and English/French/German respectively) but I guess I was just used to different languages. I technically speak English, French, and Spanish, but I can’t pronounce French for the life of me, but that’s because my pallate is irregularly-shaped. The rr thing is tricky and very subtle, but other than that Spanish is fairly easy to learn (latin-based, many congnates, etc.) except all the different verb tenses; very few helping verbs!</p>
<p>I would expect the hardest languages to learn (for an English-speaker) are Chinese and Finnish simply because they are SO different - ie, not latin or germanic.</p>
