I remember when I was a boy being told the plural of French words like chateau and bureau could be "x" - chateaux, bureaux.

The only hard thing about English is the spelling so many rules!

 

A Spanish friend told me "your verbs are a joke"!

Many aspects of English make it difficult to learn, but I would think one of the toughest is which syllable in a word to emphasize. French is super easy, the last syllable (any exceptions, French speakers?). Spanish is pretty easy. There is a set of rules for emphasis that you learn as a beginner and are easy to master. All exceptions to the rule will simply have an accent over the vowel of the syllable to be emphasized (like énfasis). But English words, no rhyme or reason, as if every word had its own unique rule of pronunciation.
