Remember that every verb has different conjugations that depends on the context. Also, spanish words have gender, unlike english ones. For example: "el barco" (the ship), "el" is used when referring to males. Whereas in english you just say "the" (no gender attached).

Many people believe that spanish is really easy, but that's because they're not doing it right.
That can be said of all the Indo-European languages, even more-so for the Baltic ones if you think about it.

Lithuanian, has gender too, and has more conjugations than Spanish because we also decline for our Nouns and Adjectives (more-so than the Spanish). We also have 5 cases to your 3. To make matters worse, Lithuanian also has 3 different principal parts of the same verb.

In relative terms, comparing Spanish to other Indo-European languages, yes. Spanish is very easy. Viso gero!

We're comparing english and spanish here, so I'm not sure why you brought other languages up.

Either way, the point of my previous statement was to clarify that no language should be labelled as easy, considering they all have a different degree of difficulty. Spanish is my native language, and even then I'm continually learning new things about it, whether it is new words or grammatical rules.

Remember that language is constantly changing, therefore it is virtually impossible to master.

In other words, no language is easy. People who say so are just grasping the basic things of it.
