Dutch and German are way easier for English speakers to learn than Spanish.
It's very surprising to hear that; both languages are unintelligible to me whereas you can understand about a third of Spanish without knowing how to speak it.
That might be from cultural reasons more than linguistic ones. Especially if you live in the US especially the Southwest.
I bet it's the accents of English and Spanish that we speak in North America since they both stress consonants and the vowels are recognizable to each other; European Spanish is also difficult to understand.
