If you can afford a tutor, it’s much easier, especially when it comes to learning tones. Start by working on everyday conversation. Practice writing basic words. The more you study, the more you’ll learn.
I speak some Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. I found Korean to be by far the hardest of all.
I love Spanish. Way way easier than Chinese, and if you live in the USA it’s so much more practical. Half the words are almost the same as English. Compared to Korean the grammar is only slightly different. So many great novels and poems were originally written in Spanish too. Incredibly rich etymology as well. Lots of the words that aren’t similar to English have Arabic or Greek roots. I would live and breathe Spanish all day every day if I could.
Spanish is way easier. Learning a language as an adult is still difficult for almost anyone, but ones in the same linguistic family are easier for a lot of obvious reasons. You can only really cement it by actually speaking it with people though, once you're at that level.
