You already speak Spanish , a romance language. If you learn Interlingua that is easy, with you can communicate with some hundred millions of people that speak Italian,spanish , portuguese,french , catalan, roumanian etc even if they don't know the existence of interlingua.

That's an exaggeration at best. Interlingua really is a sorta-halfway-can-get-the-gist-of-the-text language, but it's hardly a way for a fluent two-way conversation with someone who doesn't know it.

Going back to the initial question of Jfc
Which would be the simplest to learn? Which would be the best to choose overall?

Jfc with who you want communicate with the conlang you will choose?

I think Toki Pona is the easiest simplest . Only 123 words and 14 sounds.
but you will communicate only with toki pona speakers (not many probably)
en.tokipona.org

The world's more famous conlang is Esperanto and allows you to talk with other esperanto-speakers (etimated 3 millions) mainly in national and international meetings and local associations. www.esperanto.org

You already speak Spanish , a romance language. If you learn Interlingua that is easy, with you can communicate with some hundred millions of people that speak Italian,spanish , portuguese,french , catalan, roumanian etc even if they don't know the existence of interlingua.
www.interlingua.com

If you need to communicate with about 400 millions of people (speakers of Belorussian, Bosnan, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Polish, Russian, Ruthenian, Slovak, Slovenian, Serbian,Ukrainian etc )you can learn a simple language that they can understand even if they don't know the existence of it. You can learn Slovio the pan slavic language .
www.slovio.com

It depends on what you needto do .


Lithuanian is not a Slavic language. It is a Baltic language.
