What Makes One Language Easier to Learn Than Another?

Some languages feel easier because they have fewer rules or sound more familiar. Imagine you're trying to learn a new language, like Spanish, it has many words that look and sound similar to English. That makes it feel easier. On the other hand, learning Japanese might be harder if you don’t know anything about syllables or how characters work.
