The Quickest and Easiest Language to Learn (for English Speakers)

How to Learn a Language

Wondering what the easiest and quickest languages for English speakers to learn are? In this video, I break down three groups: linguistically easy languages like Frisian, French, Dutch, and Scandinavian; constructed languages such as Esperanto, Toki Pona, and Interlingua; and English-influenced languages like Scots and Tok Pisin. I share why ease on paper doesn’t always mean the best choice, the importance of motivation, and practical considerations for your language journey. Plus, I offer my Ultimate Language Resource List to help you get started with any language, no matter the difficulty.
