By far the easiest language to learn chosen by visitors (of the choices that were presented) was Spanish by a three to one margin over French. Italian (which had been at the bottom) is now a fairly strong third. German and Dutch follow up.
French is still a very popular language to learn among native English speakers. Many find it to be similar in syntax and certainly vocabulary. The availability to use and study French also make it seem an easy language to learn. Many have made the same comments of Italian.
German and Dutch are sometimes perceived as easy because of their close relationship with English. A number of write-in votes appeared for this same reason - Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Afrikaans and Frisian all have many characteristics of English because they are all Germanic languages.
