It may seem simple from your perspective, but English is a language that ended up mixing elements from several languages and creating several exceptions and much more dispersed etymologies, mainly when combining the Germanic branch with the Latin branch.
So, those who do not learn from the beginning will have great difficulty knowing how to write a word, speak it and how to read it, as clearly demarcated by: "though", "through", "thought" and "tough", in addition to several subtleties in pronunciation in vowels for each word and the enormous amount of phrasal verbs (look after, turn up, set up) and many agglutinations of words with meanings totally different from the original terms (douchebag → idiot).
The linguistic way of thinking in English is more analytical than synthetic, so from an analytical point of view, an analytical language may be easier while someone from a synthetic language may find it more difficult, because they are syntactically more rigid.
