Spanish is considered to be one of the easier languages to learn, with an estimated 575 - 600 hours to reach proficiency. It is a Category I language, according to the U.S. State Department.
Spanish has many cognates - words that look and/or sound similar and mean the same thing in English. For example, animal, hospital, and radio mean exactly what you think they mean! They are just pronounced slightly differently.
