German or French: Which Language Is Easier to Learn?

German is easy to learn for native English speakers for the following reasons. First, German nouns are easy to build if you are a native speaker of English because many times, they are similar to those in English. For example, the noun “beer” is spelled “bier” in German – not quite different, right? Second, when you will be reading road signs, street names, or words in German, you will have a pretty good idea of what the spelling of that word means by making instant connections to the English language; quite useful, right? Rules that form German words are generally valid, meaning most of the words in German are formed using the same principles. This makes the language easier to apprehend.
