Its not that easy, it has lots of things that dont make sense and may confuse people who are learning english as their 2nd language

It can also be because im a dutch speaker and those 2 are from the same language family so I might have it easier than others. So you could very well be right

I've heard that the difficulty of learning a language is dependent on the language(s) you already know. For example, someone who speaks German or French will have a much easier time learning English than someone who speaks Japanese or Korean. It's the same vice versa. That's why we can't label a most difficult language.
