The Spanish grammad is often considered more regular and predictable than English grammar.

The level of difficulty for learning Spanish can vary from person to person, and it may not necessarily be underestimated by English speakers. Spanish is often considered one of the most accessible languages for English speakers to learn due to several factors: 1. Cognates: Spanish and English share many cognates. 2. Phonetic writing: The words are generally pronounced as it is written. 3. Grammar: The Spanish grammad is often considered more regular and predictable than English grammar. However, the level of difficulty can still vary based on an individual's language learning experience, prior exposure to other languages and their dedication to the learning process. The perception of difficulty often depends on personal factors and the methods used for learning.

En español? Como profe encuentro que en español de España es muy difícil aprender las conjugaciones y las preposiciones, porque repiten mucho su uso en el caso de las preposiciones, en Latino América no repetimos el uso de una preposición. En castellano latinoamericano, encuentro que les es difícil escuchar una conversación real porque tenemos una diferencia demasiado grande de acentos entre frontera y frontera, y de sinónimos, y en la mayoría de los países de LATAM se mezclan expresiones de algún idioma indígena originario con el castellano, no es PURO castellano. Así que es Español las preposiciones y conjugación (Gramática) En castellano los acentos y sinónimos (Escucha y vocabulario)
