I mean, I came to the U.S. about two years ago, and in the beginning I've had problems with the language (probably just like eveybody else), but what makes English such a difficult language to learn? Most people (like in Europe) they grasp the languages right away. The pronunciation is a lot easier, but still? What is so difficult about English?

Understanding principles of learning can be as important for students as for teachers – especially adult learners. FORMING GOOD HABITS WHEN LEARNING ENGLISH Here is something which I am sure that any student will readily understand. Good and bad habits, once formed, are difficult to undo. It is hoped that the things which you learn in connection with reading, speaking and pronouncing English will be correct, because psychologists tell us that if you do a thing a certain way three times in succession, a habit will be formed which will be difficult to undo.
