How difficult is Spanish?
I really love the language but I'm not sure if it is difficult to learn. Approximately how long does it take a person to grasp the basics of the language? Basic meaning enough content to carry out a conversation?

Results are directly reflective of the effort you put into learning. The amount of enthusiasm you have for learning the language, how good your method of learning is, and your natural ability for learning languages all have an effect on how fast you will learn the language and how easy/hard you'll find it.
You'll probably be able to learn the basics (I mean the very basics: hello, how are you? What's your name, I'm Sindy, where is...) in a few days. But to be able to carry out an interesting conversation will probably take at least a few months

The lessons here are a good place to start learning, and if you get stuck on anything, there are lots of very knowledgeable people here who will be able to help you .

Hi, Sindy. Welcome to the forum.
As Nametaken says: Your success will depend on the time and effort you put into learning the language.
If you are really interested in learning Spanish and have a passion for it and enjoy studying you will learn pretty fast.
Take a look at the lessons here, located under the Learn Spanish tab, and look around on the Internet for other sources of learning.
Watch videos, make some flashcards, listen to the radio, and try to make some Spanish-speaking friends (either online or in person), and make learning fun.
¡Buena suerte!
Well, it's not as hard as german. Eine gut gebratene Gans ist eine gute Gabe Gottes!
