Keep in mind that each language learned tends to be progressively easier than the previous one so if you learn for example french first and then spanish spanish will seem easier. Like all romance languages french has a few difficulties for prospective speakers.
While french will likely be more intimidating to speak initially its shared vocabulary with english will help lessen the difficulty of memorization.
How hard is it to learn spanish if you know french.
Overall it will be relatively easy to learn spanish if you know french but like any language it will take time to reach fluency.
If you get the gender of a word wrong it can be confusing.
Spanish not only has less grammatical tenses than french does but it is also even more phonetically logical than french is.
In french the adjectives refer to the gender of the noun they describe.
In the beginning by degrees french is a little harder.
If you want to learn both french and spanish you might want to consider starting french first.
Generally when you know one romance language others seem easier as it is in any other language classes so yes i agree with you when you know spanish french seems easier.
When you learn the word house you should know that is it la maison.
Give your brain two or three years to really internalize spanish.
German is actually in a special category between easy and medium because it should take 30 weeks or 750 hours to achieve proficiency.
And as you mentioned or assumed knowing french will only make learning spanish easier than if you didnt know a romance latin based language to start with.
There are more verb forms 17 compared to the english 12 and gendered nouns le crayon la tablepronunciation is especially difficult in french with vowel sounds and silent letters.
Pronunciation is not very phonetic compared to spanish and french has a number of practices that eliminate many pauses between words by adding moving or changing sounds beyond syllable boundaries meaning that a often sounds like a single long word.
German spanish italian french dutch and english all derive from latin.
Still it is more likely that both of these languages have challenges of their own than that one is objectively actually easier than the other.
Probably in the easy section with the other european languages.
Since spanish is so similar to portuguese if you want to learn both the best way to avoid mixing the two is to achieve a very comfortable level in spanish first unless you go for portuguese first in which case you can do it the other way around.
When learning the language you need to learn the gender of each word with the word itself.
In summary it will be easy to learn the basics possibly a little confusing to get past the intermediate level especially speaking and then slower once you reach an advanced level to become truly fluent.
