If your native language is English, like mine, your best bet is probably learning Spanish. Spanish is very similar to English in terms of cognates (words that sound like another languages words and are the equivalent) and sentence structure. I was able to pick up Spanish very easily because of this. Because it is not hard, it is enjoyable to learn. I am not particularly interested in Spanish culture, but that does not hinder my efforts to learn in any way.
