Yeah, people who speak English as a first language often don't realise that it's a very HARD language to learn as a second language. A strange ancient blend of Latin, Greek and Germanic origins. A thousand ways to say the same thing, grammar "rules" that chop and change and have exceptions without warning. Weird spellings of many words... It must be a total headache
