"It’s not perfect but I’ve spoken to enough Esperantists in Asia who have remarked that English is way way way harder and speakers are less forgiving." Anecdote: We had a Japanese Esperantist visiting a local meeting in the US and of course asked if Esperanto is really ten times easier than English for Japanese speakers. His reply (in Esperanto): "No. It's a hundred times easier."
