I see that you have been registered at ProZ.com since Nov 2017 and that you **appear** to be a certified PRO member although when I click on the link you provided in your profile, this simply links to the information that Proz. provides to all users. But the rest of your profile is completely blank. Are you sure your native language is English?

As non-native speaker of English Oct 7, 2020

...my first idea was to suggest to fine-tune English first.

I see, thanks for the advise. I actually consider doing the Spanish class. Youtube helps!

What is the best and easiest language to learn? Oct 9, 2020

I am not sure if there is an "easiest language" to learn.
In your place, I would pick a language depending on your native language and learning style in order to make it "easier" to learn.

Just why? Oct 9, 2020

I've seen a lot of this question and it always makes me cringe. Why would anyone learns something just because it's easy? If they don't feel like giving much effort then why learn in the first place?

Let's change the question!

What language that you would love to learn?

What language that you would love to learn?

Learning a language is not easy. You will have difficult times. You will HATE the language you are learning. So if you really like speaking in a language that you are currently trying to master, that will keep you motivated. Having a clear goal of why you would want to learn the language also helps. Oh, and by the way, you'll have to maintain it throughout your entire life, or else you'll forget. So have topics you enjoy in that language.

And no, Spanish is not easy. Would you consider memorizing all the verb inflections to indicate the subject, so you can start using the pro-drop feature as easy? I'm not so convinced.

Just learn any language that you actually like, man. Don't trust other people! They worship Satan and they try to deceive you, and will have you pay taxes!

It's fun, but not very marketable.
