What European language has the easiest sounds?

I can reproduce the Italian phonemes islotated, but the intonation of the whole sentences is difficult to me.

"Macedonian"

Macedonian vowel system is pretty easy, it consists of just 5 vowels like Greek, Spanish and Japanese, but the consonants are numerous, more or less like in most Slavonic languages.

Basque has the same phonemes as Spanish minus J and Z, which are among the most difficult in Spanish

Yes, both Basque and Spanish spoken by Basques have this palatal lateral sound.

Italian is so easy? what a nice fairy tale!!
So I still wonder why you all are going on speaking English!!!!

Because Italian is not a serious language.

Overall, Spanish is the easiest though there are indeed several souds that are difficult, R or RR being one of them.

Difficult sounds in Spanish: R, RR, Ñ, Z, LL, J. Also I would add the Spanish vowels. They are so simple that speakers of other languages don't pronounce them properly . For example English speakers pronounce them in spurious ways. It's not so easy to reproduce the 5 pristine Spanish vowels as some may think.

English. Because you can speak its words as you fxxxing want.

English pronounced just like if it was Spanish would be the ideal language.
