Hi to both of you. Spanish is absolutely more difficult than English. They are completly different because Spanish is a romance language while English is a Germanic language they come from different branches. Spanish has a lot of conjugations ,but English has just a few. And there are also other differences like the ones they have regarding phonetics for instance. So it´s not correct to say they are so similar. Due to these differences it´s difficult for Spanish speakers to learn English as well as it is also to English people although there are exceptions everywhere. Of course there other languages more difficult than these two for example Russian, Chinese, Japanese and many others.

Hi Abigail! I'm not English, but I've been learning both English and Spanish and I find this two languages very similar. Of course pronounciation differs very much, but either grammar or vocabulary seems to be familiar. Sometimes even too much. But generally both English and Spanish are relatively easy languages to achieve communicative level. They don't have declension, not so many grammar structures, and English doesn't even have a real verb conjugation. If you want to a challenge, try Polish or Hungarian. Good luck, Matías
