Spanish made it to the top three in our list mainly because the chances of practicing it in the United States are endless. Furthermore, the Latino community is so important in America that it has become somewhat mandatory to learn the language of the largest immigrant community in the country. Finally, apart from the difficult pronunciation of the rolling ‘r’ and the ‘ñ’, pronunciation is as straightforward as you can imagine: words are pronounced as they are written. However, grammatically speaking, Spanish is definitely not the easiest language to learn. First of all there are many dialects which utilize deep pronunciation differences, depending on the variety of the language you are learning; from Argentinian Spanish to Spanish from Spain, and from Mexican Spanish to Chilean Spanish. Just listen carefully and you’ll see what I mean. Moreover, regarding verb conjugation, gender, and grammatical irregularities, it is a rather difficult language.
