Well, I think that if you learn latin first, it’ll be easier to learn any of those languages, even it’ll make easier for you french,
I agree with the first answer, I’d avoid Latin. Spanish and Italian are both very similar to french, so either of them should, in theory, be on the same scale of difficulty as each other. I’d decide which culture you prefer, spanish or italian, as I’ve found this aids or hinders (depending on whether you like or don’t like) the learning of the language.
i recomend you spanish because this language will get you the faculty tospeak italian easily and french will seem easy to. french is pronounced softer than spanish and italian thas why you wont learn italian or spnsh after french easily.
about latin forget it. you really wont need it.
good luck in your life.
Wow, you’re asking about three Latin languages and you say you had a lot of difficulty in the first Latin language you tried to learn, so I’m not sure any of those would be exactly easy for you…what I can say, as someone who speaks French, Italian and Spanish, is that while a whole lot easier IMHO, Italian is very similar to French, so I’d go with Spanish.
I don’t recommend Latin not because it would be difficult – I don’t speak it so I have no idea -, but because it’s an obsolete language the knowledge of which wouldn’t do you much good professionally or for traveling and communicating with anyone. On the other hand, maybe learning at least a few notions of it could do you good, because it *is* true that the other two languages you ask about derived from Latin, so if you have time and patience it might be a good idea before trying either Spanish or Italian – or even French again!
I think Spanish would be easier. Spanish and Italian are very similar but what I find difficult in Italian and hard to grasp is that plurals aren’t made by simply adding an “s”. In Spanish and English you basically just add an s to a word and it’s plural. In Italian it depends on if the word is feminine or masculine and on the last letter of the word. Then the article also has to change – for example: Eng. ‘the chair’ becomes the chairs, the book becomes the books, my suitcase becomes my suitcases; Sp. la silla becomes las sillas, el libro becomes los libros, mi maleta becomes mis maletas; It. la sedia becomes le sedie, il libro becomes i libri, la mia valigia becomes le miei valigie — kind of confusing to me.
Additionally – Spanish is spoken in a lot more countries than Italian so it would probably be more useful. However, Italian is a beautiful language. Still, I think if you learn Spanish first then Italian would be easier. At least that’s what I am finding.
