Granted, mastering French is a real challenge. Nevertheless, it's probably one of the best decisions you can make, for a variety of reasons.

Is French an easy language to learn? 🙋🏻‍♂️

It's hard to answer "yes" or "no" to this question, because it all depends on the situation!

As a general rule, Spaniards and Italians find it easier to learn French. This is partly due to the similarities between French and languages of Latin origin.

You only have to look at or listen to Italian or Spanish to see the many similarities in terms of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. For example, regular verbs are similar and often share the same roots, making it easier to learn French.

For English speakers, however, it's a different kettle of fish 😅

French can be a little more difficult, due to significant differences in pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. English speakers often have difficulty pronouncing certain French words, as certain sounds don't exist in their language. French grammar can also be a challenge.

But don't worry, even if you're an English speaker. French is an affordable language, and with perseverance, diligence (and a few French lessons), you'll find that the challenge is surmountable!
