German has complicated morphology and an unfamiliar word order, and, unlike in Romance languages, abstract nouns usually do not have cognates.
Genealogically closer languages are not always easier to learn. I don't think anyone would say that, for example, Icelandic should be easier for an English speaker than is Spanish or French.
