English hard to learn? You're crazy!
English is just about the easiest language to learn there is.
Ask anyone who studied both english and another language as foreign languages, I'm sure he will tell you english was easier.
Why? The gramatic is quite simple, and i think people learn the spelling by heart anyway. At least I work this way. In Portuguese, we have very precise rules for how we should put accents on words. I learned them 100 times on school, but do I remember them? No. Even so I write correctly 99,9% of the time.
Oh, and by the way: German may be phonetic in theory, but all the words that have french or english origin, for example, have kept their original spelling.
