I'm an ESL teacher. Yes to your list!

I'd add - certain letters are just pronounced differently in other languages and it's hard for some to switch to and maintain our pronunciation, or even hear the difference.

e.g.
Our R becomes H in Brazil
L to R in China, Japan
W to V in Germany

I'm native, but ESL people tell me the hardest things about English are:

1. insane spelling (and mispronunciations that come from it.)
2. lots of irregularities to memorise (e.g. all the past tense verbs)
3. tons and tons of idioms/turns of phrase/words with multiple meanings

Sound about right?

I think it is exactly the opposite case. English is actually quite easy and quick to learn. At least up to the point that you are able to communicate in everyday life. Other languages can be much more intimidating.

English is easy at first, but it needs a lot of work afterwards. If you intend to use it outside the airport, that is.

It is difficult to make it work in your head when your own language is declined and its parts can move here and there. Once you've grasped the differences, English becomes easy.

Learning languages makes me feel bad for people who learn English as a second language. What a mess.

Everyday spoken English is a breeze compared to German or French. Ungendered and barely conjugated. Try learning when to use der, die, das, den, des, dem.

The messy bit of English is the spelling.

(I too am learning French at the moment. Fascinating, but spoken and written are so different.)
