Is learning Esperanto then Dutch faster than Spanish then Dutch for an English or speaker?



that would be an obvious yes because esperanto is easier than spanish.

but also, dutch is similar enough to english that learning spanish will not help you much at all, other than that third language effect which can be had with any other language too.
