The study of language is neither more nor less complicated than the study of math, or history, or biology... except that the latter do not have to be pronounced. Ah, there´s the rub! "You must understand this equation and then you have to pronounce it well, like a native mathematician!" Silly, right? This splitting of hairs shows the real problem behind language-learning: phonetics. I keep flogging a dead horse, but I will not tire of saying it. English is an easy language, but difficult to pronounce. Spanish is a difficult language and also difficult to pronounce. I know plenty of readers will differ and cry out loud that Spanish is written and pronounced exactly the same. I refer you to Tomás Navarro Tomás, Manual de pronunciación española.
If there are many people who pronounce Spanish and English well, why shouldn´t you? Are you stupid or something? Say to yourself: If they can, I can!
