Language learning is not hard. In fact, it is so easy that a baby can do it.

It does take time and exposure, though. It's not difficult but neither is it quick, at least to learn it well.

[FearfulJesuit]

Yeah, the real reason people don't learn languages isn't that they're hard. It's that they take hundreds of hours, there are no shortcuts, and for a very long time in the middle of that it is easy to feel like you're making no progress. People will do hard things as a challenge, but persuading them to embrace tedium is a much harder sell.
