If you know english then both are easy for you to learn. Spanish and French are kinda same. They have some words which are the same

My memory failed me, letzeburgish is the language of Luxembourg and not Liechtenstein. And that's what the crazy Chinese wanted to learn because it was easy.

中文是我的母语,根据多方考证,它真的很难学
It's about opening or language?

Spanish feels like a mix of French and English
Learn French first then Spanish will be easy to learn

After taking Spanish French seemed more complicated bc of the sounds compared to the writing. You can learn either, pick what you want to learn. If it's for credit pick Spanish lol
I think the Spanish is just generally a very difficult opening to learn, while the French is relatively easy for beginners.
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
As per the language itself, as I said, 100% Spanish is easier.
But the one thing about Spanish which makes it more complicated is that Spanish itself is quite spread out in many countries, so variations, modisms, coined phrases, accents and whatnot appear, not only in entire countries, but in just certain regions of the country itself.
So it gets you off guard that words dont necessarily have the same meaning in one place to another one. For instance, Puerto Ricans speak Spanish, but for some reasons, the pronunciation of the letter "R" is switched by the pronunciation of the letter "L"
So they say Puelto Lico instead of Puerto Rico. But they also speak faster, So what they say not always clicks and you only understand half of it until you stop for a second. I suppose its the same the other way around.
Thats just an example, but suffice is to say that I live on the Northest part of Mexico. When I traveled to the center, accent apart, I had no issues communicating in the broader aspect, but the details are quite important.
First day arriving, I went to eat to the market and I asked for a Quesadilla (which some may know as a tortilla with melted cheese inside, queso=cheese, so ques=cheese, tortilla= illa, meaning the fusing of the words). Returning from the bathroom my plate was served. I gave the first bite and I almost puked, not because it had a bad flavor, but i bit something I was not expecting and I got caught by surprise.
Turns out, quesadilla in Mexico city can mean 1 of many different plates, none involve cheese. Who knows what I was served. It was good though, once I accepted the fact that I was not gonna get cheese.
A few days later I was looking for Cabbage (repollo), nowhere to be found, nobody knew what was that, until I saw it. Its called Col there. Among many many other things. And that was just inside my own country. So learning Spanish anywhere you only learn like 90% of it, and its effective. The other remaining % you have to learn it according to the region you currently are.

French is the C++ of the romance languages, while Spanish is more like C#
Also - do you actually want to use the language, and where? Spanish is spoken in almost all of the America's, while French is well... France - and a handful of former colonies, some of Quebec, some random Caribbean & Polynesian Islands, a bit of Indochina.. but mostly in Africa.
So depending on where you're at, or want to go would be my first consideration not difficulty
