Actually it's one of the easier languages in some ways.
1. No genders to memorize (unless the subject actually *has* a
gender).
2. Simple verb conjugations.
3. Both Germanic and Romance roots, making it easier for Europeans.
4. No pluralization of adjectives, etc.
5. No "familiar" form to figure out.
To acquire a "working" knowledge of English is probably much easier
than with many other languages. I have heard this from non-native
speakers for years.
I think the problem is that English doesn't follow grammatical rules
as well as other languages. One can't just memorize a particular
grammatical precept and expect it to apply to all situations (or even
half the situations sometimes). So, though one might be able to
converse freely in English, your grammar may take years to perfect.
There's also the matter of vocabulary. The English vocabulary is
immense. Compare an English dictionary to a French one. The
difference is huge. And remember that English doesn't have all the
crazy conjugated forms of its verbs.
Creating a new language is a tremendous undertaking. Remember
Esperanto? Learning a new language is very tedious and learning one
that is native to no one would be even more difficult!
