I can't say that English is an extremely easy language to learn, but I think it's not defenetly hard. It depends on the person, though. It depends on which is his maternal language, etc.
I find English quite easy, but I don't know if it's because I started to learn it at a very young age or because I love it, but even though, I think it's very easy to learn the English verbs (mainly you just have to remember a structure and then ad "s" on the third person singular and learn the past and participal. And that's all). I wouldn't really like to learn the Spanish verbs....
sometime even I myself (and many Spanish people!!!) have problems to know how to
conjugate (¿?) a verb... and I've never liked to do it in French
