OK, help me out here. Why if...
I've heard that Spanish is smooth and efficient language. If there are so many ways to conjugate a verb, how is that efficient. English does not seem to do this. I am going to pick a easy one. run = runner and ran. OK, try fly = flier, flying, and flew, flown. Buy = buying, buyer, bought.
The when I look at the conjugating list of Spanish verbs, I'm like oh man. I love this. Don't get me wrong. I wan't to speak Spanish for three very powerful reasons.
First, I am going to be a journalist. This is going to help me in one of many ways such as interviewing. Second, before long we will see half of the country speak Spanish. I do not want to be left behind. Third, jobs, jobs, jobs. Spanish will give us a leg up on the competition. Fourth, I happen to love the way Spanish sounds.
I just want to know why people told me would be easier than English? I do not see that. But it took me my entire life to learn English, and in many ways I am still nailing it down.

I have always heard that English is a hard language to learn. I think that this is because it works differently than Spanish and other languages similar to it like French, Portuguese, Italian...etc. But to us all of the conjugation of Spanish can be very overwhelming because it's so different than what we have learned to speak. I think all languages have their challenges. Just like in Spanish we have a lot of things that are irregular. I think that the hard thing about English is that there is less of a pattern as compared to Spanish
Speak, spoke, spoken Run, ran (not runned), running Eat- eaten...not eated, eating, ate See- seen...not seed, seeing, saw The different tenses can be very different from each other sometimes.
I think in English you have to do more memorization. In Spanish you just learn how to conjugate (although I realize there are a lot of irregulars, but at least they are still conjugated in a logical pattern) Hablo, hablé, hablaba, hablaré Corro, corrí, corría, correré Como, comí, comía, comeré Veo, vi, veía, veré At least the endings are similar. I think this is why people might see Spanish as more efficient like you said. There are irregulars, yes...but maybe the pattern is easier to follow than in English.
English is the best language when we talk about conjugations! :D Mostly all the languages have different conjugations as the subjects change French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian all have specific conjugations 
Even english has but because it's that most of us have been learning it since cradle so we do not realise like we say I DO but He\She DOES this change is nothing but it is a specific conjugation that is changing with the subject. But the good part is that in english the conjugation does not change every time, But in most other languages it changes with every subject. This is very easy for the native speakers perhaps but we are not used to it in english so we find it tedious. That's all! Nothing more
I speak fluent English.I also took courses in French,but,believe me I do not think Spanish is the easiest language to learn.
