Easiest language

What would be the easiest language a English speaker could learn?

I am asking because I would like to start out with a easier language before I move on to the harder more time consuming ones. Mostly because I have heard that as you learn more and more languages it gets a bit easier as you go.

There are about 5 that I am interested in learning as a end result:
German
Dutch
French
Spanish
Italian

But am willing to start anywhere really. I have basic French from primary school but it has for the most part left me totally. No training at all in the others, but have spend time in countries speaking all of them, more so Italian than any others.

Also any thoughts on timing for learning these? I had figured around 3 years being that 3 of them are very close, and the 2 others are very close also.

And advice at all is very welcomed.

Cheers!

why is this bullshit?  its obviously got similarities fuckhead, get over it..

water is voda
bank is bonk
tea is chee
business is bizenyes
professor is profeyessor
music is moozeyk
hamburger is gamboorger

and then it gets just as many words from other languages as well.. like magazin is the word for store.

every language has at least 20percent interchangability with english( or at least one other language), unless its spoken by a bunch of niggers in a tribe on an island in the middle of nowhere. each language has to have these similarites, whenever japan invents something new we adopt their word, same with russia whenever they got out of the soviet era, whenever we make new phones and shit, they adopt our language. to not have at least maybe a 10% similarity with english or some other language would be to say that this country is completely out of the loop.

russian and english are just as interchangeable as french is with english. i don't see why that is such a big deal. but

>>22 your an idiot.
