What Makes a Language Harder or Easier to Learn?

English is incredibly inconsistent to pronounce and doesn't make any sense in that way, i'm sorrye. But there are other bits of manderine where it's not hard. enthusiasm and interest are massively underestimated in the process of learning a language. You know, when somebody learns a language for love or to beno communicate with the in laws you will learn what you need to learn. And i i find it's, i try to really resist when somebody implies a language is harder or another. Like people, the russian teachers really like to tell you how hard RUSSIA is. Whereas i've come from the point of view that this would be more of a self defeating thought.
