I personally foudn Japanese easier than Spanish. But, I'm just weird that way. *G*
Seriously, though, Japanese is a lot more self-consistent than a lot of other languages, and the basic grammar is quite simple. Of course, there's lots of politeness stuff messing things up, and the vocabulary doesn't have much in common with English, unlike Spanish which, thanks to the Normans, we've got lots of cognates with.
