Is German easier than French to learn?

As a native English speaker, it seems like German is more similar to English, but French is still easier because it's grammatically more simple.

I am italian and since I was born I went to a german school so I am actually both native and now I am learning french. I can tell you that German is harder to learn than french. For an italian, spanish, rumanian and other latin languages french is easier to learn but also for english people because english has a lot of latin (some say even 70%) that was brought to it by the french language so as vocabulary you will truly find it easier to learn French and I think also as grammar. Remember, German holded the Cases of latin (6 in latin and 4 in german: Nominativ, Genitiv, Dativ, Akkusativ) and it's hard.

I would say that French is easier because French is grammatically easier to understand.

French is easier . German is as hard to learn as polish, so you can try but i don't think that's good idea. :)

i suppose it depends what language u speak. for me french is more difficult because of the structure of grammer.

I don't think so. you see, both are not easy but grammatically speaking French is too much easier than German, in pronunciation you will see that they have like the same level of difficulty.

I'm Ukrainian and I'm studying both German and French at the university. And for us, Ukrainians, German is miles easier than French. Despite this, I completely adore French! How can anyone not like this gorgeous language?

I think it depends what languages you speak. If you speak a Romance language, French will be easier, if your mother tongue is English, you will have less trouble learning German.
