It's not as hard as you think. Compare all the tenses in Spanish to English, for example. I live in Mexico and my peers usually think English is relatively easy

Also, the US exports so many quality tv shows and movies that it's easy to find good English-native material for learning. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't know Disney movies. Meanwhile, try finding good Mexican television.
- dorchadas 8y ago> Also, the US exports so many quality tv shows and movies that it's easy to find good English-native material for learning. This is the most underrated factor when it comes to language learning in my opinion. It really does make a difference how much native material is available, and how interesting it is to the person learning the language. Not because it makes the learning itself easier, but because it makes exposure once you hit the intermediate level that much easier, which means you can pass the intermediate plateau and reach a fairly advanced level without having to struggle through things you don't find interesting.
- omosubi 8y agoyes - so much this. I was just learning some European Portuguese before going to portugal and had great difficulty finding any "real" non-brazilian european portuguese to even get a feel for it. perhaps if people put together something along the lines of those 'awesome-<language/framework/etc>' github repos for language learning everyone could benefit :)
