Why is Spanish more difficult to learn than English?

Spanish is often considered more difficult to learn than English because of its more complex grammar rules and its wider range of vocabulary. Additionally, Spanish has more verb conjugations than English, making it more difficult to remember the correct conjugation for each verb. Spanish pronunciation can be more difficult than English because of the presence of rolled r's and vowel sounds that don't exist in English.

What are the most difficult things to learn in Spanish?

• The subjunctive
• The use of verb tenses
• The use of pronouns
• Passive constructions
• The use of orthographic signs
• Constructions with connectors
• Correct use of punctuation
• Distinguishing between letter sounds
• The nuances of meaning of verbs
• Distinguishing between the genders of nouns.

On the other hand, the most complex things in English are not really that complex, among those we have:

• The use of verb tenses
• Irregular verbs
• Pronunciation
• Grammar
• Listening comprehension
• Use of modal verbs
• Phrasal verbs
• The lexicon
• Plural forms
• The use of prepositions

Despite these factors, it is essential to know that if you really want to acquire a language, and you are committed to doing so, it is not impossible if you prioritize, study and practice.
