As a language student in college (I studied both Spanish and German), I sympathize with anybody trying to learn our language. English is extremely difficult compared to the Romance languages! \:\)
Franckly, I feel english is far easier than french as I feel english is more to the point while you'll need to blow a lot of air to say the same in french.

on me!
From my little few years with Francais I think I find it is easier to express emotion and personal relations in that one while easier to express about objects and time, technical subjects in English. German would be likewise if they did not tend to build huge sentence-words but from there (Indo roots?)I think that English got the strengths of technical approach. A linguist could straighten that out much more and better I am sure!

I had a friend Rossander Quinn who used to point out how much Norwegian and German that English comes from and has. It is fascinating where the words and uses are.
