What are the differences between sencillo and fácil?

Question

--¡Enseñaros a bailar flamenco nada menos! Pero muchachos, eso es algo muy difícil, y además, tampoco sé.¿ Por qué no hacemos algo más sencillo? Sevillanas , por ejemplo.

Can I change sencillo here into fácil?

Answer 1

Yes. In this case you can use either. Where these words are used differently is with people. If you call a person "secillo" it means "easy to get along with." If you call a person "facil," it means someone who will readily have sex with anyone.

Answer 2

¨Sencillo'' usually means simple, where ''fácil'' usually means easy.There of course are cases where they can be interchanged.
