Trying to decide between Spanish, French, and Portuguese...

Can someone tell me which is easier and the best learning apps for it that helped you.

Depends on your reason to learn the language too, motivation makes everything "easier". Spanish will be more useful in the Americas, French and Portuguese will be more useful in Europe and Africa, to put it broadly.

Anyway out of the three I would think that Portuguese would be the hardest to get the right pronounciation, but then again Brazilian portuguese seems easier to speak and understand than "portuguese portuguese". French (my first language) is known for being a hard language to learn due to all kinds of grammatical rules with all kinds of exceptions, letters in words that you don't pronounce, words sounding the same but written different (vain-vingt-vin, for example, pronounced exactly the same). You'll find the whole feminine/masculine thing in all romance languages. I think Spanish might be somewhat easier, also considering the fact that -assuming you're American- you're more exposed to that language than the other two. That being said, I think that you'll find way more similar words with english in french than in spanish, so...:yeshrug:

えー。日本に住むことはすてきですね。

なんでアメリカに帰りましたか
そう、楽しかった。仕事変わりたいだから、この頃ITデザインナになりたいと思っている。アメリカは給料日本より高い。

日本に行ったことある?
