As a native English speaker, I hear things like “this” language is hard/easy to learn. Does this mean it is only hard/easy to learn coming from an English background, or would someone who speaks Spanish also find it similarly harder/easier to learn as well?

From a physical standpoint some languages have sounds that aren’t found elsewhere, or at least not in your native language.
We don’t have that rolling R sound in English, so speaking Spanish for me was really difficult. I just can’t recreate it consistently so I literally couldn’t say certain words. Same thing for Japanese people learning English. Or the clicking languages out of Africa. That sort of thing.
