Shit No One Cares About Do some languages seem easier to you than others

[𝗠𝗞𝗖]

I took Spanish in high school and was absolutely horrible at it, nothing ever clicked in my head and constructing sentences wasn't possible. About halfway through I just started cheating, feel kinda bad but yeah.

However I have noticed that German seems to be a lot easier and to be honest I wish I took that instead. While watching a video of some pig farmers from Germany, I was kinda able to decipher sentences from context and cognates, and by the end I could jerry-rig a few sentences together (albeit of poor quality). I'm not saying that I could learn that language at even a basic level, but the giant monolithic brick "wall" I experienced with Spanish wasn't there. I know this is kinda stupid sorry

Of course I think languages more closely related to mine are easier to learn than languages that are more different. I think everyone thinks that.

even though i dont speak any dutch this song is 100% comprehensible to me, does that count?

also i may have been buckbroken to where i may never learn spanish... "learning spanish" was shilled so aggressively on me so much when i was younger that it now goes in the same mental register as "you VILL eat ze corn syrup gummies trust me bro its healthy" and "you VILL spend 10 hours a day making fancy notes you'll never use as a wee grade schooler evendoe i dont need to because we said so and you VILL like it"
