¿Entonces por qué me cuesta tanto trabajo hablarlo?
This is a very loaded question and depends greatly on who's learning English and the level of proficiency that they wish to attain.
English is relatively free of the kinds of high levels of grammatical inflection that bedevil some other European languages. For example, it has only one word for 'the' (Spanish has three, French has two, German has, oh, twenty or so). Verbs are also relatively straightforward.
Yet English also does some pretty weird things. Its use of 'doesn't'/'don't' as negators is freakish, and it probably has too many forms of present tense (French has only one and does fine with that).
The verb 'get' is evil.
However, the worst things about English are (a) its crazy spelling, and (b) its enormous range of dialects.
Nonetheless, because English is an international language, English-speakers are excellently skilled in understanding foreigners who don't speak it very well, so it's probably easier to make yourself understood in English than to understand native speakers. And most civilised native-speakers are very accommodating. After all, we've been forcing others to learn English for centuries.
Aye, for centuries English has been a language of trade, diplomacy and conquest. Britain stamped its colonial thumbprint on other cultures all over the world with the result that nowadays there are many diverse native forms of English. Speaking in broad Scots, I wouldn't be understood by an Australian, nor would I understand him in his colloquial dialect. Yet we should be able to converse quite freely in 'neutral English'.
For native English-speakers who've ever wondered how the language 'sounds' to non-natives, here's an amusing little vid... 
Sí. A menos para los ingleses.
It's really not all that hard. When I was thrust into an all-English speaking culture as a 9 year old recently arrived from Spain, all I had to do was listen and use the vocabulary and structure that I was hearing around me. I about wore out my dictionary though. The pronunciation was no problem, as a singer-musician I can imitate just about any thing that I hear.Later, during my high-school years I majored in English, and finally got a BA in English in college--that and a California Elementary Teaching Credential. I later completed my BA and MA in Spanish and obtained my Secondary and Community College Teaching credentials. For university level the MA is all that is needed, but PhD is preferred.
Te lo diré si lo llego a hablar medianamente bien algún día, y al paso que va la burra...... A mi me parece mucho mas fácil el español o el euskera, pero claro , los pareceres son como los culos, cada cual tiene el suyo.
